Taking some of today's music and putting it into their own form the two have put together a show that promises to be different to say the least. When asked what their style was, Joe and Martin were a bit evasive, but mentioned that they were doing' some David Bowie and Rolling Stone selections done over for acoustical guitar.

Sam Malizia, of New Castle, is conducting a self-styled, sure-fire matchmaking service for friends in his residence hall complex. And this novel service guarantees the student of either sex getting a date with someone who wants to date him or her, or no date at all, avoiding any chance of a "bad blind date." A computer service, Malizia's Date-A-Thon simply matches names of students who indicate a confidential interest in dating each other. Students are being asked to list the ten people in the residence halls area they would most like to date. When the computer receives the lists, it will match names. So, if Suzie Smith indicates an interest in John Jones and he indicates an interest in her, the date will be set. Malizia, who is president of the Centre Halls Residence Association, hopes to have 600 students participating. The participants will be limited to those living in the four. residence halls comprising the Association. The need for such a service, devised by Malizia on a dateless weekend, points to an interesting "back to dating" trend at Penn State. CWENS sold posters this week as one of their many projects of raising money to buy a new scoreboard for the soccer field. Shown here are Bronwen Gamble and Ms. Cathy Sargent selling posters to a Behrend student. Keystone Team Up department. CWENS has many projects lined up this term. The organization recently completed the selling of posters. The student response was overwhelming and a substantial profit was made. ng Gang? I've talked to a lot of girls who haven't had a 'legitimate' date for a long time," he explains. "There's a move back to the time when dating was popular." It was pointed out that a "legitimate" date is one in which a boy calls up a week ahead of time for a date to a movie or play, for example. Such formality, it seems, has been abandoned in many collegiate circles. Malizia thinks his service will provide many male students with a much needed psychological boost. He anticipates a surge in self-confidence when men find out they were listed by coeds whom they never thought noticed them much. But perhaps the most evident result will be emptier residence halls on weekends. "I get so tired of hearing guys complain about not having dates as they sit at home on Friday and Saturday nights," says Malizia, who admits to having joined the griping on occasion. "And I find out the girls are over in their residence halls doing the same thing." The weekends in the near future should be busy for the inventor of Date-A-Thon. Malizia has his name on two lists providing himself with 20 chances for a date. "I had no trouble at all picking the first ten girls," he grins, adding the choosing the second ten wasn't too difficult either_ The annual "Take a Kid to Dinner" will take place February 22. Students will pay to take a young child from a local center to dinner. The dinner will be held in Dobbins Hall and it will be can dlelight. Further details will be given at a later date. CWENS is also in the process of becoming a national organization. Many CWENS chapters at various schools have national recognition, and the chapter of Delta Behrend is preparing the proper records to be accepted nationally. Keystone Society is tossing a few prospective ideas around and hopes to come up with something definite in the near future. Both groups are working hard devoting their time to develop future projects, but for these projects to be successful, there must be student participation. Remember, the next time you see CWENS or Keystone members sponsoring projects-participate; next season you may not have to ask your neighbor on the bleacher how many minutes are left for the Cubs to win their soccer match ! This Kitty Not For Kiddies This week's Student Union Board-sponsored movie is the controversial "Fritz the Cat." Aimed at mature audiences, this is the animated film which would have Walt Disney rolling over in his grave. Supporting Fritz are other cartoon characters por traying hard-hats, teeny-boppers, Black Panthers, freaks, and revolutionaries in a pointedly liberal satire. Showings for "Fritz The Cat" will be on Saturday at 10 p.m. and Sunday at 7 and 9 p.m. in the RUB Lecture Hall. Prices for the movie are 50 cents with an ac tivity card and $1.25 without a card.
