fews. Girls must return to the
college before the curfew Which
they have set.

Bloody but unbowed, Will
Rice College is continuing with
plans for a Computer Dance,
scheduled for Friday, April 29.
The original plan was to sell
questionnaires in the men's
and women's colleges. Couples
were to be matched by the
computer on the basis of their
answers to the questionnaire.
Boys would be then told where
to pick up their dates on the
night of the dance, at which
time they would learn the iden-
tity of their dates.
When this plan met with
something less than a univers-
ally enthusiastic response, par-
ticularly among the- fair sex,
and since the Will Rice social
committee seemed in imminent
danger of losing its collective
shirt, Plan B was put into ef-
llujtuu>, Ju,; ,,aj
Questionnaires are being
sold this week in the men's col-
lege for $1.50, and are being
distributed free to the women.
The computer will select five
perfect dates for each male
participating, and lists will be
posted in the men's colleges. It
will be up to the boy to call,
or not to call, any of the girls
on his list, thus eliminating the
. element of risk under the old
plan.
Admission to the dance will
be $1.50 per couple for those
who have bought questionnaires,
$3 per couple for all others who
wish to attend. Questionnaires
must be returned by Saturday.
Barring further complications
and the institution of Plan C
(social committee members
jump en masse from the Will
Rice sun deck.) The dance will
be held Friday, April 29, at 8
pm at the Bill Mraz Ballroom,
835 W. 34th Street. Set-ups will
be pi-ovided, and beer will be
on sale.
