SUA gives students a chance to make bank
Students lucky enough to board the KU Cash Bus have the chance to win money by answering pop culture questions. Student Union Activities sponsors the ongoing event.
ANISSA FRITZ entertain@kansan.com
The University's Student Union Activities members are working again to bring fun and interesting activities for students. This week it's the KU Cash Bus. SUA members will board buses running between the Kansas Union and Snow Hall during the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The Cash Bus started Monday and continues every day until March 7. Many students at the University are not aware that KU cash bus exists, so here's some helpful information from Hannah Hall, a junior from Lawrence and an active member of SUA.
Q: What type of questions do you ask students when they participate in KU Cash Bus?
A: We ask general pop culture questions ranging anywhere from Prince William and Kate to different movies that are out right now. We actually get our questions from two pop culture trivia books that we have
here, that way we know the answers are accurate and it also allows us to have a different variety of questions.
Q: Where did the KU Cash Bus come from?
A: We've been doing it for many years now. The original idea came from the show "Cash Cab" that is on television, but instead of a cab it's a bus.
Q: How much cash can a person win by participating in KU Cash Bus?
Marks Jewelers

A: In our budget we have enough money to have 20 winners a day and each participant can only answer one question and each question is worth $10. Just make sure to pick up your cash at the Union later because it's not uncommon for people to forget.
When asked if he would play Cash Bus if given the opportunity, D.J King, a senior at the University eagerly said, "Absolutely. It's free money almost."
Ten dollars to college students can mean a lot, especially when all they had to do was answer one pop culture question on the bus between classes. To senior Tyler Japan from Annapolis, Md., he said $10 means that he would "go to Chipotle, it's the politically correct thing to do."
However, to get the money one must first have the correct answer to the question asked by the SUA member. The questions range in variety and can sometimes stump even the most updated and alert students when it comes to news and media. KU Cash Bus is a great opportunity for students to be involved in the University, have some fun and win some quick cash. So stay on your toes and keep a look out, because you may be chosen to be the next participant in KU Cash Bus.

To all the Mark Zuckerbergs, Steve Urkels, Leonard Hofstadters and Sheldon Coopers, this is your night. To all those who stay up late getting lost in the madness of the internet, researching that topic you just can't get your mind off of, you can come too.
Nerd Nite Lawrence is a monthly lecture held at Pachamama's in the Alton Ballroom, located at 800 New Hampshire St., where nerds gather for presentations and socializing. Ran by co-bosses Amy Schwpep, Peter Lyrene and Chad O'Bryhim, Nerd Nite Lawrence has been a part of Lawrence for two years. But Nerd Nite is not unique to just Lawrence. It is one of many programs held in more than 70 cities around the world. Nerd Nite is held on the second Wednesday of every month and usually three people present on different but related topics.

You do not have to be a nerd to attend these monthly events. Schweppe said that the atmosphere of Nerd Nite is extremely casual.
"It's an eclectic mix of people that make up a cross section of Lawrence," Schweppe said. "You get a snapshot of Lawrence there and everyone is truly there to be engaged, to learn something, and to have a good time."

"For me, a nerd is somebody who can 'nerd out' about things," Schwepe said. "The topic doesn't even have to be overly academic, scientific or technological. It is just something that you are so passionate about. That you focus on and read every article you can about."
This spirited and information-consuming Nerd Nite crowd was a major draw for co-boss Chad O'Bryhim to move to Lawrence. He had moved away from Kansas after graduating from Baker University to Phoenix, but kept an eye on a blog about Lawrence that boasted Nerd Nite. Even though Nerd Nite is held in major cities including New York City, San Diego and Dublin, Lawrence draws just as large of crowds as these major cities bringing in 140 to 160 people. On a given night you will find KU students, retired professors and Lawrence locals ready to hear about that night's topics.
The Nerd Nite topics are just as broad and unique as the audience. They have ranged from "The History of the Lounge Chair," "Dieting Myths and Big Fat Lies" to social issues such as
This is not a formal gathering for a lecture. Heading to the bar in the middle of a speaker to grab a drink is encouraged, but what is necessary for Nerd Nite is a desire to learn and an appreciation of the hobbies and obsessions of others.
the need to stop sexual assault

"You never know where a presentation is going to go — for better or worse," O'Bryhim said. "There is an air of uncertainty. You have a list of topics, but it's a grab bag of excitement."
For more information about Nerd Nite, visit Lawrence. NerdNite.com, or find them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/nerdnitelawrence.
Next month's Nerd Nite will be held on March 12 and the tentative topic is "The Man, the Myth, the Legend." Three speakers will talk about their passions ranging from the literary life of James Bond, to cryptozoology and cryptocurrency. Caleb Chin, a senior from McPherson, will break a nerd record for being the youngest speaker to talk at Nerd Nite. He will be talking about his passion for cryptocurrency and the Bitcoin — what he says is the Internet's first form of money.
The doors of Pachamama's open at 7 p.m., the program starts at 8 p.m. and lasts until 10 p.m. There is no charge to enter, just a suggested one dollar donation which goes toward upkeep and prizes.
