Friday evening dances scored with men as their No. 1 choice, but the women evidently think Clark Gable and Robert Taylor more interesting than campus talent and name movies as their favorite ac tivity. However, just to show that Myrna Loy and Madeleine Carroll are not totally unappreciated, the men give the movie No. 2 posi tion.
