College Bowl tempts and tests trivial tastes
Df your general knowledge
IQ makes you a fair
game for JcxtparJy, then
the College Bowl might
be the closest you’ll ever get to
participate in a game show that
tests how up to date you are
with world affairs.
A trivia game geared to col
lege students, the College Bowl
not only grills you on the aca
demics of historv, I nglish and
science, hut spans almost everv
topic under the sun, from sjvirts
and [sip culture to social issues
and politic s.
“ I Ins in a real varsity sport
ol the mind instead of using
vour brawn you’re using your
brains in active participation,"
said Sue Pedersen, coordinator
for the 1 Ml Recreation t en
ter.
I he College Bowl has proven
to he so popular since it started
across campuses in the nation in
the llituK, that it's now the
largest college tournament in
the i ountrv.
It's set up like a real game
show too, with all the nail-bit
ing suspense over who will hit
the bu::er first and give the
right answer. But the game
doesn't end on a hu::er-happs
level, the biggest bait is that the
winner goes on to regional and
national level competitions.
I rom past College Bowl expe
rience, Pedersen expects some
40-50 teams to participate this
year. Bv the final round, how
ever, that number will be
trimmed down to eight teams.

pens on Jan 11 and I'-t in what

A team ol Jeopardy wannabe * vie lor a chance to go to the national College Bowl in Washington, D C.
is expected to he two heated
preliminaries, one in each of the
seven dormitories for dorm resi
dents and one in the I'Ml
that's open to all Iniversits
students.
I hiring the competitions, the
judges keep track of participants
who gne the best answers and
pick them to represent the l ni
versity in its all-star team in the
regional finals that’ll he held
here on leb 28-29.
I he k-st regional team goes
on to the nationals at George
Washington University in
Washington D.C.
Though it all sounds like real
serious stuff, the College Bowl
is meant to he a challenge that's
tun and in the name of true col
legiate spirit.
"It’s a good way for students
to get together, do something as
a team, and there'll also he pler*
l\ ot opportunity for out-of
i lass interaction w ith faculty
and staff, many of whom are in
voiced in officiating the game,”
said Pedersen.
Those interested can sign up
between Jan 16-20. Dorm resi
dents can sign up with their res
ident assistants while all other
students can sign up at the Rec
reation Center from 9-1 la.m.
weekdays. Students can register
as a team and the fee is $12 per
team, or for $1, they can regis
ter individually and be assigned
to a team.

LOST
('<"UinucJ from Pttgf IB
down in the hallway, and
picked up and taken to
lost and found.
Betty and her wallet
without the money- were
reunited on the spot.
Although IVdersen at
tempts to locate owners
of articles turned in, the
system does not work in
reverse.
II you’ve lost your fa
vorite pink fu::y bunny
scuffs, you can’t leave
vour name and number at
lost and found and expect
to j;et a call when the
scuffs are returned.
"We don’t base time
to provide that kind of
service," Pedersen ex
plained.
I he closet nets cleaned
out each term on the first
two days of dead week.
On Monday all items sell
lor three dollars each, but
by I uesday what remains
is priced at t\so for a
quarter.
"The lirst day is a gold
mine and the second is
the dreys.’’ she said. Such
items as Gortex jackets
and sophisticated calcula
tors have sold for only
three dollars.
Last year at the end of
fall term when it was
snowing, a little boy buy
ing a coat and hat for
twenty five cents aroused
Pedersen’s empathy. He
arrived at the sale with
out warmth and was de
lighted to find such a bar
gain.
A woman Christmas
shopper exhibited crea
tive humor hv buying
most of the single glove
collection. She carefully
matched the glove’s per
sonality with the person
destined to receive it.
Top that lor original gift
giving!
There were 571 arti
cles turned in last term.
I he service provides l>5
percent rate of return tor
wallets. 5 es, the business
is seasonal in that now
lost and found receives
main umbrellas and dur
ing the summer it gets
shoes and shorts.
Student 111 cards come
in faster now that the
I Ml lost and found ad
dress is listed in small
print on the b.n k of all
cards.
Kev s. bic v i les and pets
are routed to Public Sale
tv, but most other things
are accepted. “We get a
lot of things that are sim
ply abandoned like that
old hair dryer,” Pedersen
said.
"I always thought that
our lost and found closet
would make an excellent
modern archeology study
of human beings and
their things,” Pedersen
concluded
