0 ini g Gam Mike sits in Winslow Cafeteria and tries to catch Jane's eye as she chats with her sorority sisters. Karla waits for Ted out- side his chemistry class, and hopes he brings up the subject of next weekend's dance. Charlie gets out the phone direc- tory and starts dialing numbers to find his homecoming date. All these activities are steps students take in the ever-popular dating game. But, as many students find out, the rules change before you know it, and once again you have to start all over again. One trend in the dating game this year seemed to be the shared expenses of the date by both the male and female part- ner. With the financial burden of college rising, along with the loss of one dollar night at the movies and the gas crunch, girls chipped in to cover the costs. As Jenny Ross, Hopkinsville, said, You get to go more places, if both of you payf' Ross and her steady of two years, Russ Dandeneau, spend some dates at the fraternity house Russ is asso- ciated with and some evenings at the lo- cal movie theatre. Several couples can be found cuddling- up in the lobbies of dormitories to spend an inexpensive evening. Card games and television sets occupied some co-eds, while others enjoyed a moment of quiet conversation. Michele Bowen, Louisville, and Chris William, Cleveland, Ohio were relaxing in Elizabeth Hall's lobby when a SHIELD photographer snapped their picture. Bowen said that her and William both pay for dates, but a great deal of Williams's time is taken up with football on week- ends. For most students the amount of mon- ey spent and by whom did not seem to matter in 1979, it was only important that you enjoyed each other's company, and maybe that you would see each other again. - Elaine Spalding i R .. ra, fr I' -f,..,,,-W 4' K bf if f a.

Count-down at the launching pad, is about to begin for Dig'em, the Tri- Sigma's entry, with the help of Carolyn Watham, and Don Gish, both of Hen- derson as Eddie Wayland, Madison- ville, looks on. Pre-tuning the frog with a little swamp water was idea behind Diana Lee, Hardin, and Dave Lorenzen's trip to the aquarium before the ATO Frog Hop began. P. Wakefield ax ,Ji L.

ATO official Mitch Henson and coach Bill Erledge assist Cindy Sentell, Camden, Tenn., with her entry. The annual Alpha Tau Omega Frog Hop is more than your average frog jumping contest. Held each spring on the patio of the ATO house, the Frog Hop is a combination of fried frog legs, music, pretty co-eds, fraternity men, sunshine and a green concoction called swamp water. Not unlike fishing expedition tales, the Frog Hop seemed to set up a similiar atmosphere at the Alpha Tau Omega house. One ATO official in the event was overheard explaining to a sorority lady that the frogs in this year's event were a rare species from South America. The conversation went something like this: Yes, these frogs were flown in just last night, the young man explained. That's funny, the lady replied, I just heard one of your fraternity brothers
