Group seeks practical jokes
from ‘wildly funny’ students
. . . - - - - - _ - . " .... . *« : . V •• it:
...
The Oregon Daily Emerald has been in
formed that the Natonal Practical Jokes Con
test has "carefully selected" the University
"on the basis of many qualities: its
academic standards, reputation, respected
professors, fine student newspaper.. ..but
most of all for.. .wildly funny, original and
outrageous student body."
Whether the compliment was per
sonalized or just a photo-copied press
release sent to many colleges throughout the
country, it was an invitation for jaded
students to share their favorite tricks and be
treated with a first prize of $1,000 or one of
two $100 second place awards.
NPJC is seeking this year’s equivalent to
the old-fashioned joy buzzer, and entries
must be in by Jan. 31.
Categories for this twisted form of wit
include practical jokes for classrooms, dor
mitories, initiations, parties, rival colleges,
the administration, roommates and ex
lovers. Also off-campus stunts for
restaurants, weddings and offices will be
considered.
To enter, type or neatly write out each
joke idea and mail to National Practical
Jokes, P.Q. Box 6198, FDR Station, New
York. N.Y., 10150.
Entries will be judged on originality,
wit, style and comic effect If a tie exists,
winners will be determined by neatness of
entry. Submitting a joke to the contest
means allowing the sponsor to modify en
tries and to possibly use them with names
and addresses for commercial purposes
without additional compensation.

regularly outside of class with a
peer adviser. Activities outside
of class included studying, go
ing out for pizza, and meeting
with professors. Gerdes says.
“First term can be over
whelming for some students, so
seeing familiar faces in some of
your classes can be comforting
and supportive." says Gerdes.
who refers to the interest groups
as “academically-based social
groups."
Approximately 180 students
participated in the program,
and although the groups were
designed to last one term, some
of the groups were so successful
that they have plans to continue
meeting this term. Gerdes says.
Charlotte Rosen, a student in
one interest group said. "I’ve
gained so much from it, socially
and academically."
Rosen says the group helped
her to improve her biology
grade from a D to a B. She adds.
“1 would recommend it to
anybody."
Changes in freshman reten
tion statistics suggest these pro
grams are working. In 1979,
79.9 percent of the University
freshmen who enrolled fall term
successfully completed their
first year, while in 1983, this
figure rose to 90.8 percent.
