Senior Ashley HQ1 conxxntaJ.
•This Just teems the same as my

and vice vena, but they primarily
dance to one trig group."
.Senior Robert Mclont give •
reason for the lack of variety. • unique
qualhy that the Sadie Hawkins
theme was suppose id
'There U aSolutcly n* difference
because there b no segregation into
OKplcs. Everyone dances in ooe

dincct. gtrii don't ask guy* to
dance."
Ftsta added, "Nobody ever asks
anyone to dance except tor How
dances when you grab whoever h

another theory. "The Sadie Hawkins
dance gives the girl* a chance to be
the agjiessor; however many girls
s'ill have not overcome tneir
shyness."
Among guts, die most cited acme
for rut asking boys to dance was

dance. 1 didn't mind the change
because 1 guess it £»cs the girl* A
