So far this year a sign-up sheet for lessons in Dunster House stretched to four pages, a freshman disco dancing clinic drew 800 to 1000 students to the Union, and Harvard Student Agencies (HSA) may start a dance program of its own.

Jim Chou '79 has organized a disco dance clinic for the Dunster House Committee. The course will include guest lecturers and field trips.
