College Bowl 2003 Returns To The Student Union On Nov. 8

Boise State University will once again compete in College Bowl, “a workout of the mind,” from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8, in the Student Union Hatch Ballroom. College Bowl is a game of academic knowledge and quick recall. Now in its fifth year at Boise State, the College Bowl campus program has been a popular tradition on America’s campuses for 25 years. Boise State is among more than 300 institutions of higher education playing College Bowl. Like the popular radio and television series of the 50s, 60s and 70s, the game features two teams of four players each competing to score points to toss-up and bonus questions. Teams will participate in three preliminary rounds, with top scoring teams advancing to final rounds where they will compete for prizes ranging from hockey tickets to gift certificates, valuable coupons and more. The questions cover every conceivable topic from literature, science, history, geography, religion, social sciences, multicultural topics and the arts to popular culture, sports and current events. The four highest individual scorers of the campus tournament will be selected to sit on the All-Star team. The All-Star team will advance to the regional championship tournament in February 2004. College Bowl is organized and administered with the cooperation of the Association of College Union International (ACUI). Boise State’s tournament is run by Student Union and Activities. Students, faculty or staff may sign up for the College Bowl competition by picking up a registration packet at the Information Desk in the Student Union. A $5 non-refundable registration fee is charged per team.
