RttO Apr-17 c-' Mating game'delights UConn pub crowd By ROB NELLIGAN An overflow crowd roared with approval as the Board of Governors (BOG) presented their videotape extravaganza, "The Mating Game," in the Anonymous Pub Wednesday night. The project, a takeoff on the Chuck Barris-inspired Dating Game, was highlighted by the ever present Master of Ceremonies, Tim Woodruff, whose carnation was only a shade redder than the contestants' faces. Steve Wolfberg played a mustachioed Johnnie Olson as he told the crowd that winners would stay at the "Ella Grasso Hotel," where they "may not wash their hair for a week." In the first group of contestants, an obvious case of nerves and a 25-minute delay led to a few verbal errors by the venerable Mr. Woodruff, but in the end Tara Muhring, a freshman communications major, walked off with dinner for two at the Wagon Shed Restaurant with her date, sophomore drama student Leonard P. Kovlak. L.
