Zvi f Sadie Hawkins Catch me if ou can Oh. sweet Sadie. Where would some of us he without you? You provide the women of ACU a time to break tradi- tion, and you legally come to the aid of our social lives. And to the aid of the social lives of some of the more shy fellows on campus. You give us the chance to he on the other side ofthe fence. And on the other side of the wallet. Sadie Hawkins Week comes around only once a semester f too often for some and not often enough for others. Troy Pieper. a freshman business management major from Col- umbia, Mo., said Sadie Hawkins is great! But once a semester is enough. Michael Osburn, a freshman general business major from Columbia, Mo., agreed that Sadie Hawkins Week could be a good thing. It just depended on the woman doing the ask- ing, he said. Danny jensen, a sophomore youth ministry major from Vernon who had 11 dates during Sadie Hawkins Week, said it was very flattering to be asked out. He said that many guys might feel deprived when they don't get asked out. Girls ought to go for the gusto during Sadie Hawkins, he said. And go for the gusto is just what jennifer Haltom did. jennifer, a freshman pre-law major from Texarkana, had 32 dates during Sadie Hawkins. She had breakfast dates, lunch dates. dinner dates, afternoon dates, and apparently lots of other kinds of dates. She said it was a great way to get to know some new guys. Sadie is super. It really helped me appreciate what guys do for you, especially financially. I spent a lot of money. Mark Pickle, sophomore accounting major from Palestine, may not have had as many dates asjennifer, but he said his two dates were so nice that they made up for the rest of the week. Mark said it felt great to be asked out, but he believed if the girls were going to do the asking the roles should be completely reversed.

'The Crucible' The story of how 19 men and women and two dogs were hanged for witchcraft was brought to life by the ACU Theatre in its December presentation of Arthur Miller's The Crucible. The play, directed by Dr. Ted Starnes, associate professor of drama, was Miller's comment on the 1953 Congressional investigations. Those witchhunts - as many have referred to them - led by Senator McCarthy probed into allegedly subversive and Communistic activities on the part of American citizens. But many viewers saw the play as a historical study rather than as a political allegory. Salem, Mass., was the setting for the intense, emotional drama focusing on john Proctor, played by graduate student Kevin Weems. Proctor struggles for honesty and justice in a time when absolute dedication to evil was displayed by the judges of the trials. The cast included Holly Hill as Beth Parris, Buddy Evans, Reverend Samuel Parris, Rachel johnson, Titubag Lory Moore, Abigail Williarnsg Rebecca Blount, Susannah Wallcottg Geniene jacques, Mrs. Ann Putnam, Dane Booth, Thomas Putnam: Kathleen Puls, Mercy Lewisg Deborah L.

V.. Jen doors and to drive f they need to do it all. Robert Reagan, junior public relations major from Austin ho had six dates. agreed with most students that Sadie awkins Week is a good activity. But he also believed pro- ems could arise because emotions run high during Sadie's 'eek. lie said he had seen too many people get their feel- gs hurt. Some problem areas were when a guy is asked by so- eone he doesnt want to go out with, said Robert, and then 2 isn't asked by someone he would like to go out with. topping hints also can lead to problems, he said, Women didnt have to be too creative in planning their tres because the Students' Association sponsored special rdie activities Nov. 15-20. Andrea Dean, sophomore diof'l'V major from Issaquah, Wash., said she had seven ates and went to an SA-sponsored activity for nearly every ue. The junior class sponsored a hayride and barbecue at In- ian Creek Ranch in Tye, Many couples attended a box :cial at Nelson Park.
