THERE’S NO WEEKEND LIKE DATE WEEKEND! The traditional Date Weekend festivities on Westmar College campus began back in 1936 when the co-eds of Western Union College de- cided that they should take a new step in pro- moting the social program of the school. The first such attempt was made on no small scale- -that year the first week in January was set a- side as Date Week. An unwritten rule implied that any girl who did not have at least one date with a resident from Union Hall was boycotted for the rest of the year! For the next few years this event was establish- edas Date Night. Soon the students began to feel that all the fun of Date Night should be extended over into a weekend, and since that time it has been an annual event. The girls ask the boys, pay the bills,and,in short, perform all the cour- tesies that men ordinarily exercise.
