DAD ' S DAY During the fall, a full weekend is set aside to thank the University dads, co-sponsored by Associated Women stu- dents and Men ' s Union Board. Let ' s face it, the old boy doesn ' t get much of a chance to see where his money is going now days. During this special weekend, most organizations sponsor special events planned especially for the fathers. Luncheons and dinners are on most everyone ' s agenda. The highlight of the weekend is the football game at which the fathers of the team members take their place on the bench next to their sons. This year the Broncos faced a tough opponent, Brigham Young, but came through with flying colors and defeated the boys from Utah 28 to 20. At half time the combined bands of Western and Brigham Young presented a program dedi- cated to fathers across the nation. After the game, the University Center is opened for the pleasure of the dads. WHY DADDY, you haven ' t changed a bit. LUNCH OR DIN- NER in the Univer- sity Center was en- joyed by many vis- iting fathers. 20

Each vote costs one cent, and the contestant with the most cash votes wins. THE winning face. THESE LOVELY, YOUNG ladies were imported from the Black Forest as escorts for the winner. 19 THIS IS NOT one of Western ' s Faculty.

DIG DEEP GIRLS! It only comes once a year. Twirp Week, when customary dating procedures are reversed, is eagerly anticipated by many women on Western ' s campus . . . and many men as well. For one week each semester the women can get their bids in for the man of their choice. All ' s fair as the women turn the tables to take the initiative in getting dates. The men get to save some money as the wom- en pay for the coke dates, dances and other activ- ities. A special feature of the week is Penny Night, when the women get a late permission for one extra hour— if they pay a penny for every minute after regu- lar closing time. A raffle for The Five Big Men on Campus adds some big moments for the lucky win- ners. To make things a little easier for some students, the AWS sponsors a date bureau. TWIRP WEEK WELL STOP STALLING. Put the books in the back seat and close the door. FOR ONE WEEK ONLY, it ' s a man ' s world. 21
