Blind Dates Somehow in that mystic realm of love and courtship, every steady couple become matchmakers for their dearest friends. So they set up two innocent people who have never seen each other and probably would pre- fer not to, and arrange for them to spend a fun-filled evening together. A word of warning to cynics, how- ever: you may find yourself pleas- antly surprised. Blood Drives Three hundred and three students bled a little for humanity during a three-day blood drive Oct. 7-11 spon- sored by Gamma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Phi Omega and the SAB Com- munity Service lnvolvement Council. A few students dressed as vampires roamed the mall area trying to en- courage fellow students to give blood. Blood could be donated to any individual or to the UTA Assurance Fund for students needing it later in the year. Blood left over at the end of the year goes to the hemophiliac fund at Fort Worth's Carter Blood Center. Phi Mu's also were out for blood March 10 and collected 56 pints. 'XX , g . f V my .
