With the dating situation the way it is on the campus, some space and attention should be de voted to the blind date problem. Fellows may complain that dates are hard to find and girls are too particular, but in such predica ments, a girl just has to be fussy. The first and most common type of blind date is the one another girl finds for an unsus pecting friend--you. He may be described as "not exactly hand some" and often he is just ex actly repulsive. Altho he is re puted to have "loads of person ality" it is well hidden under his shy "I'm just-a-country-boy" attitude. However, the shy country business seems to have been for gotten by the time he takes you home with the gleam in his al ready gleaming eye getting brighter and brighter as you ap .proach the door. Having beaten a hasty, but safe retreat, you re solve that it will never happen again, to you. Come Again? The hour dance date is one that can't be neglected. The phone rings, for you, and a voice says, "This . is Johnny Hamstring, met you at the hour dance six weeks ago and thought you might like a date this weekend." Silence. You have no date for the week end, but haven't the vaguest re- 1 collection of any Johnny Ham string. Rather than remain at home while all your friends are out making whoopee, you accept. Johnny is one of the rah-rah boys and talks constantly "of the women I have known." Strangely enough, he fancies himself as God's gift to all the women and is unable to talk of anything else. Such conversation often results in a dull evening,' and this is nd exception. By the time you get home to- bed, you can't sleep, because you have been slumber ing all evening. Only Solution. The worst blind date is the one you have a divine time and start girl who knows someone who knows him, and gets things all fixed up. He is good looking, a good dancer, and dated up until Christmas with a variety of fe males. When you're out with him, you have a devine time and start having visions of bungalows and roses. At the door, he remarks casually, "Well, see you around." He never calls again. Only solution to a problem like this, if there is any, is to stay home and make a 90 average. Or you might be one of the luckier girls who is pinned or going steady and dosen't have to worry about such things. But the best soultion is just to become blind, and youill never have any trouble. 'Eileen' (Continued from Page 1.) the curtain up promptly at eight. In order to speed up the seat ing of patrons, the University Theatre will employ a new sys tem, this season. There are three sections of reserved seats on the main floor. Patrons holding re served seats in the Right Se.'.ion will use the West street en trance Number 1 in the lobby of the theatre. Patrons with Left Section reservations will use en trance Number 2 in the lobby of the theatre. The curtain will rise promptly at eight and no admittance will be permitted until the end of the first scene. The University Theatre requests holders of main floor reserved seat tickets to check their tickets and go to the proper entrance. This arrangement will eliminate criss-crossing traffic in the audi torium and also reduce greatly the time needed to seat patrons orderly ..ld properly. In order to avoid conflict with the Homecoming football game, the Saturday matinee will be held at 10:00 a. m. However, the re maining Saturday matinees will be held at 2:00 p. m. Dorsey . . .

Alvin "Rich Man" Stoller, Dor , sey's best drummer since Buddy Rich, wore out numerous sticks of Wrigley's while conducting him self, in a manner befitting his tradesmanship.' Johnny Potoker's fine work at the piano should not go without mention, especially his whimsical accompaniment of Dor othy Claire's vocals. - Aforementioned le Claire show ed a splendid disregard , for the tune ' as she sang twd ! vt j the eruder numbers from 'Oklahoma'! followed by her original Rialto version of 'Doin' What Comes Naturally.'

She didn't change key once in that one. Willie Pratt, thirteen year old colored boy Dorsey found danc ing in a Dallas night club, did a superbly polished jam number. The featured Stuart Morgan dan cers took everyone's breath away with . their American Apache number. Mrs. Morgan's head swung inches from the floor as the men threw her in whirling circles, and precision timing came into its own. Wildest number of the eve ning was Charlie Shaver's ad lib bing with Elman on "Hawaiian War Chant." The two outdid themselves without outdoing each other ,and after everyone else was out of breath, there they were completing the piece. Nearly as spectacular was their treatment of the Dorsey epic 'Well Git It.' After a three months tour of nearly every metropolitan area in the country, the band will shed its feminine accoutrements and open at the Capital theater in New York Christmas week. , i . ; ..

A lot of people take tlic Information Ser vice of the Bell System for granted. Little do they realize what it takes to answer some two and a half million questions during a normal day. Of course it takes operators . . . over 12,000 highly skilled "Information" operators. But, in addition, it takes a staff of trained executive personnel. They plan this service for cities and towns across the country so that "Infor mation can quickly find the latest listings of the many telephones within her area from records that are brought up to date daily. And it is they who study operating methods and equipment in the never-ending search to make this service ever faster, ever better. Is it any wonder that today, more than ever before, management is interested in young men with imagination and am bition . ; : men to develop with the industry?
