Reference book pursues trivia
Aficionados of the popular
“Trivial Pursuit: The Board
Game” now can stop leaving
the table in mid-battle to verify
disputed answers at home or the
public library.
Trivia buffs and avid “Pur
suit” players Lisa Merkin and
Eric Frankel have compiled a
tabletop reference source for the
game. “Trivial Conquest” is a
579-page godsend for
gameplayers as well as history
buffs and lovers of useless but
heartwarming information.
“Trivial Pursuit” players
often discover to their chagrin
that opponents tend to
vehemently challenge answers
to questions. When no means of
answer verification exists —
players risk losing these nagg
ing disputes. “Trivial Con
quest” is designed toward lay
ing this problem to rest.
“Conquest” also provides
background for the one-line
(and often one-word) answers to
game questions. Many “Pur
suit” fans agree that knowing
the complete stories behind the
all-too-brief answers enhances
enjoyment of the game.
The book is alphabetically ar
ranged, from ‘A’ as in aard
varks, which have foot-long
tongues; to ‘Z’ as in zipper,
patented by Whitcomb L. Jud
son in 1893. Each listing briefly
contains background and/or
biographical data on the perti
nent subject.
Conceivably, each listing
could provide answers for more
than one “Trivial Pursuit”
question. But space limitations
and the fluid, changing nature
of trivia prohibit telling the
reader everything about every
subject.
But, as a whole, “Trivial Con
quest” does a spectacular job of
verifying and shedding light
upon the facts behind questions
in history, geography, science,
entertainment, sports and
literature — the six categories of
questions designed to stump
“Trivial Pursuit” players.
University trivia buffs need
be stumped no more. “Trivial
Conquest” is available for $9.95
in the “Games” section of the
University Bookstore. Accor
ding to Cindy Heidemann,
bookjtore mass market buyer, a
limited number of copies are
available.

Progress reports offered
University juniors and sophomores
returning to campus this fall should stop by
the office of Academic Advising soon to
check their progress in completing the
cluster requirements for their degree, says
an official there.
That office is distributing free official
progress reports on the cluster group re
quirements as well as free unofficial
transcripts, says Marliss Strange, associate
director of Academic Advising.
“It’s critically important that these be
picked-up now,” says Strange. Clusters are
more demanding than the old group require
ment system currently being phased out,
she says.
With the old system group re
quirements — in Arts and Sciences, Social
Science and Science — could be satisfied in
one term, but clusters may take up to a year
to complete, she says.
Nearly 3,500 transcripts and progress
reports were completed over the summer yet
only 400 students have received them,
Strange says.
Students can get their transcripts and
progress reports at the Academic Advising
office, Room 164, Oregon Hall.
