Title
The Skyscraper: Letters to the Editor about The Twist
Description
Two letters to the editor appear in the Sounding Board section of the Skyscraper. The first, from Richard A. Gibson, Mid'n USNA, Annapolis, Maryland, writes in support of "the girls of Mundelein who enjoy twisting." He compares it to the earlier critics of Rock and Roll dancing, and suggests that people may practice first to avoid looking ridiculous.
The second, from "22 signatures," addresses "quite a commotion in the smokers." The signers defend The Twist as "no more than an amusing way to release energy after a hard day in class. We feel that the whole situation has been greatly blown out of proportion. Why not let the twisters Twist, the smoker smoke, and the bridge players play?"
