Love for Less B ob opened up the silver- toned door and stepped quickly aside as Sally gently rose out of the stream-lined car. The chauffeur look Bob’s keys and parked the convertible as a valet escorted them into the restaurante. They were seated under some beautiful hanging plants from Babylon. A violinist swayed musi- cally back and forth in between the diners, as a waiter took their menus. Bob reached across the table and planted his lips softly against Sally’s cheek. She blushed, sipped a glass of water, and returned the favor. I want this to be the best time we ever had, he said. The waiter came back and set a can of pork and beans down on the table. 'Thank you,” he told the waiter, “Honey, I got the can opener; hand me your styrofoam plate.” “I don't want the pork,” she said . . . Although this is not the ideal date, many college students short on money and long on love, go out on inexpensive dates to share time together with the person they love. But these inexpensive dates do not necessarily have to be cheap - unless of course they’re into that kind of thing. Donna Murnane, Girard Iresh- man, said she and her boyfriend often go out for dates that cost under five dollars. “Usually we go out to Taco Bell or someplace like that. Taco Bell’s my favorite cheap place though, she said. Afterwards Murnane and her boyfriend go to a movie or spend time walking together out in the open air. Some cheap dates are bizarre though, by most anyone’s standards. Mark Walker, Stillwater, Okla., senior, said, The cheapest date I ever went to was when I went to a basketball game to see my girl- Enjoying a relaxing night at home watching television, Mike Hansen, Elsmore senior, and Chris Kuester- steffen, Humboldt junior, find that staying at home can be just as enjoy- able as going out. ▲ Steve Rose- trough This couple enjoys themusic of Blind Faith. The concert, held in the Over- man Student Center, was free of charge ▲ Ragan Todd friend play ball. After the game, I said hi, and went home. Missy Guenther, Lansing sophomore, who works as student government association member, said, I guess a really cheap date, free really, would have to simply be inviting a date to a senate meeting. Some couples play rugby together (picture that) on a date and others, in a less strenuous situation, ride bicycles; some just split chewing gum. Linda Steffens, Girard junior, said a cheap date (but of course she said she has never had the fortune of being out on one) would be going to the Border on taco night and eat four tacos for a dollar. Then they would go to the the dollar movies the same night on Tuesday. Steffens said, “I guess a nice cheap date would be going to Baskin Robbins, get ice cream, and then head out to the park. Then we would walk around the lake and, oh yes, feed the ducks. Gotta feed the ducks. Mica Garretson said one of the more popular cheap dates would be staying home and watching movies on the VCR. At least one advantage of doing this is making out in the .privacy of one’s own home. Of course there are still those people. Steffens kidded, “I guess a standard date for me would be going to Paris for the weekend and staying at the Moulat Rouge with my boyfriend. I can’t help it if I have never really been on a cheap date.” A Mike Vore An Evening Out A 19
