Many spent valuable time trying to find a date for an upcoming event. Girls were often seen as desperately trying to capture an escort a few weeks before a dance. At this time, eligible male students were found squirming under their shirts unable to make themselves vulnerable to rejection. As a last resort, many girls took the in- itative. There were both positive and negative reactions. Many students felt that girls asking guys out was a casual situation while others felt awkward. I ' d feel funny, as if she was being more masculine than 1, said Junior Tim Lane . I prefer to be asked out, said Sophomore Georgia Tomoguchi , because that ' s the way it always has been. Tradition was a source of girls ' reluc- tance to venture into the brave new world of equal rights. Many students felt that equal rights would bring the downfall of chivalry. I like having my doors opened for me. Things like that make being a girl fun, said Sophomore Matana Churanakoses . On the other hand, many people sup- ported the idea of the female intitiative. I ' d like to have the freedom to ask so- meone, said Junior Liz Bjerum , I wouldn ' t want people to think anything of it if I asked someone out. When the girls ask, it relieves the guys of a lot of pressure, said Senior Quentin Downey , Girls should feel comfortable with askine guys out and taking a chance. They should share the social pressures of making the first move. Many people felt that it didn ' t matter who asked, or who payed, as long as so- meone did, and that they had a good time. Good company was often difficult to find. — by Alisa Tannirat and Lynn Vovan Features 17
