re By Bert Lace he girls had succeeded. Although ERA hadn't passed in Arkansas, the women of Ouachita Baptist University had had their chance once again to prove that they weren't the weaker sex. It was time for the traditional twirp week. The enthusiastic girls took their chance and asked the guys out, often wondering if that one specific twirp could becomea life long romance. This thought probably never stayed in their minds past the evening, but for Dr. Richard Mills and wife Pam, the thoughts of a romance be- came a reality. “We didn’t have a twirp week when Dr. Mills and I were at OBU,” said Pam, “but we had a Sadie Hawkins.” Before Sadie Hawkins there was a picnic on the grounds, and this was where Dr. Mills was twirped by his wife. “We got together at the picnic and had a great time,” said Pam, “and after Sadie Hawkins was over he walked me back to the COMPLETE WITH VEIL and flow- ers, Clint Acklin marries twirps at a Sadie Hawkins country marriage ceremony. The marriage booth proved to be a popular place for twirps and their dates. LOADED ON ONE of five flat bed trailors for the annual BSU Hayride, twirps C. J. Hall, Rhonda Saunders, Mark Stallings, and Kelly Goodin enjoy a fun evening. 20 Student Life With plerity of late minutes and extra bucks in the bank, the duties of dating take an about face dorm and asked me out for the following Saturday.” Another twirp date that led to a romance and a proposal was made by Rejeana Schaaf. Her catch was David Cassidy. “T twirped David for the Pi Kappa Zeta’s ‘“‘“Games People Play” after being introduced to him by one of his friends. We were supposed to go to church, out for ice cream, then back to campus for the show. It was so funny, because we couldn’t find the church and I suggested to him that we just go get ice cream.” After their desert and during Games People Play she fell in love with him and it’s been that way ever since. Choosing the right date wasn’t the only thing that was difficult for the girls. The BSU and social clubs had planned seven ac- tivities of twirp week, ranging from an evening of cartoons to a formal dinner. For an hour and a half of their favorite Looney Tunes, the Beta Beta Men’s Social Club hosted their annual ‘Beta Beta Car- toons.” Mitchell Auditorium was filled with twirp dates who were kids at heart. “The Ist Annual Patti Awards”, hosted by the Pi Kappa Zeta Social Club, was an impression of the Academy Awards. The awards, which were composed of Peppermint Patties, were given to students by guest celebrities such as Sy]l- vester Stallone (Terry Daniels) and Erik Estrada (Ron Bramos). Sigma Alpha Sigma once again sponsored their “Grand 5S Opry”. Couples could sit back on a bale of hay and listen to their favorite blue grass music per- formed by this men’s social club and their sweethearts. The annual BSU hayride trav- eled to DeGray Lake in cotton trailors and was enjoyed by hundreds of couples. This tradi- tional atmosphere made snugg]- ing up to your twirp an enjoyable evening. If a trip to Hawaii suited the twirps, the EEE Women’s Social Club provided a polynesian at- mosphere that added to everyone’s culture. While en- thusiastic students ate fruit and ham, they were entertained by Seven days of fun appearances from American tourists (Amy Tate and Donna | McCoy), and a Hawaiian dance | by Laurie Luna. Then for the girls with expen- sive taste, the Chi Delta’s “Har- | vest Moon” added the right touch of class. The semi-formal dinner theatre offered good food and entertainment. After the clouds broke Thurs- day at mid-afternoon, the Gamma Phi’s came out and sat up booths, games and food for Sadie Hawkins. Although the ground was wet, that didn’t stop the crowds. Not only were there twirp dates, but groups of students and faculty joined in the fun. The long lines in the country wedding booth proved that becoming man and wife was a favorite to every girl and guy. Other favorite events were the dunking booth, the country jail, the fortune teller, and of course the side show. When the girls walked their twirps back to their dorms some never thought that they would fallin love, but others wondered if their romance, too, would be- come a reality. ec
