COLLEGE COMPUTERIZED DATE MATCHING EXPERIMENT
Now is your chance to participate in the latest college computerized dating experiments. DATAMATE. This latest computer application
is being used on college campuses all across the country. It has received national acclaim in LOOK, LIFE, TIME, and other major publica
tions. DATAMATE is not a date bureau. DATAMATE is a comprehensive program designed to provide adventurous college students with a
new way to meet new and interesting people. Think of the possibilities! From the thousands of students on your campus that participate, our
IBM 709 computer will pick the six who best suit your description of an Ideal Date.
How Does It Work?
First you evaluate your own personality by answering the ques
tions in this questionnaire. Then you answer the questions again, this
time the way you'd like your Ideal Date to answer them. Our computer
then processes all the replies and through an intricate, psychologically
oriented program picks out the six best. We then send the names, ad
dresses, and phone numbers of these six to you and your name to each
of them. Certainly there is no obligation to date anyone, but realizing
that the computer has selected the six best for you from out of thous
ands of students, you are sure to be pleased with the results.
In order to cover the costs of programming, coding, card punching,
computer time, clerical help, advertising, printing, postage, etc., we
are forced to charge a small participation fee of three dollars. When
you receive the results from this program, we are certain that you will
consider this small expenditure to have been worthwhile. The dead
line for sending in your completed questionnaire is Friday, Nov. 18.
Mail early and we will be able to get all results back within 10 days.
The effectiveness of this program and your satisfaction with the
results depends upon you answering the questions honestly and criti
cally. Enter the number of only one answer in each box, even though
more than one answer might apply.
