Like to think [the Marry the Mayor thing] hits on a real need in this city -- singles attractions.The writer is "open to suggestions" . . . as am I.
Paducah's Executive Inn has singles dances Monday nights. Big cities have specials luring young or not so young singles ( a la "Chicago"magazine). The focus here is college age entertainment alone.
To attract and hold young career people, there should be more ways to bring people together. The old Holiday Inn used to have dances. If anyone remembers, maybe they could suggest adding a little more excitement to night life in C'dale.

But I like Anonymous's idea a lot.
What organizations or departments within SIU would have an interest?
The Faculty Senate and the Provost's office could co-sponsor. Ideally the event would pay for itself but the Provost could kick in some money.
