UTA dating show aims to
aid singles on campus
EX.C.E.L. Campus Activities will sponsor a dating game Nov. 12 in
the University Center Palo Duro Lounge.
A stage will be set up so two students — one male, one female
— will question three potential dates hidden behind a curtain.
The free event starts at 12:15 p.m. There will be a ‘commercial
break’ between the games during which Greg Bateson of the
Student Health Center will hand out condoms and perform a short
skit for the audience.
Winners will receive restaurant gift certificates, and all participants
will receive small prizes.
The event is a mimic attempt at the old ’70s dating game show,
said Crissy Barrera, EX.C.E.L.’s entertainment and arts director.
Applications are due Nov. 3 in the Student Activities office.

The campus Greek community will hold a Halloween carnival from 6

Fraternity and sorority members will man the booths, and each booth
will distribute candy. Activities ranging from bobbing for apples
to pumpkin carving to face painting will also be available.
Aside from the costumed Greek community, UTA cheerleaders accompanied
by Sam and Samantha Maverick will be there.
Ramon Hernandez, Greek Life assistant director, said that although
the event is targeted for elementary and middle school children,
everybody is welcome.
