' ' HINTS TO COEDS ON DATE Don't ask himiwhat he thinks of your roommate. He probzibly has his own ideas on that subject and doesn't want to defame a girl's char- 'acter anyhow. Don't tell him that the girls at the house don't understand you. He doesn't either and doesn't care. Don't tell him about the helluva good time he missed by not to the Tappa Keg brawl. He better time somewhere else. Don't make cracks about his driv- ing. Remember, he isn't driving because he wants to. If and when he parks, take off your hat. It will facilitate matters. ad a Don't plaster up with lip-stick before the fight. No matter how kiss-proof it may be, it will still{ come off on his shirt. The shirt probably“ isn't his anyhow. If he takes a shot, don't go into a long-winded discussion about what it did to a friend of yours. _ He probably needs it if he's out with] , you. \ Don't make hirfa do all of the work.
