(Blind, (DaJtsL (tfjoAtof
By Lottie Fiddock.
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.

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.

dance, traditional Saturday morn
ing celebration, will be celebrated
this Saturday beginning at 7 a. m.,
according to Dick Folda, presi

for dancing, with breakfast fol

showed up as her best. 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. ,

Information gives YOU the answers
. . . who gives them to HER?
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?
