Quiz bowl tests trivia knowledge
By SANDY DECHANT
The author of "Oedipus Rex," the name of the actor who played the Skipper on Gilligan's Island and John Wayne's real name take on added importance this week.
Correct answers to questions like these mean points for teams competing in the Jayhawk College Quiz Bowl, which started Monday and continues through Friday.
The bowl, part of Higher Education Week,
was organized by the SIL Society, a sophomore
honorary, and the sophomore class
officers.
Thirty-seven teams, representing 16 fraternities, six sororities, eight scholarship committees, and 43 members.
dependent living groups, are competing in the bowl.
THE IDEA FOR the bowl came from a KU alumnus who had participated in bowls while attending KU, Russ Engel, sophomore class president, said yesterday.
The game might have been taken more seriously in the 60s.
There were annual college colleges at KU from 1969 to 1989. KU teams were invited to participate in the CBS General Electric television nationally televised content, in 1960 and 1968.
After losing to Smith College, a private women's school in Northampton, Mass., in the 1960 G.E. College Bowl, the team returned to find it had been in hungery.
"COLLEGE BOWL games were a big event in those days." Mary Loveland, a 1970 graduate who played on KU bowl teams for three years, said. "I knew the name of Gene Autry's horse, so I was a prized member of the team."
Questions used in the context are on such things as history, sports and literature, in which case they are not included.

While there, Kinyon helped organize a school to train young Africans in agricultural skills. He helped clear the land, teach the students to assign the curriculum and hire the teachers.
"The rest of Higher Education Week is serious and is success-oriented," Engel said. "This is intended to be the lighter side of the week."

Kinyon said he would have stayed in Africa, except he wanted his children educated in the United States. Now that the youngest has graduated from Baker University in Winnipeg City, he said, he will return for an administrative position if conditions improve.
The following questions were used in Monday's elimination round:
But at the KOA office, a room with a painted border of sunflowers and Conestoga wagons, he moves happily to direct some of his team through the city (grant), as if his mission could be nowhere else.
- Who was the baseball player who could read a record label when the recorded was tumultuous?
—What English millionaire developed the Kimberly diamond mines?
KINVON SAID his four children obtained a broad, international perspective from a broad range of schools.
-Where were the men under the command of William Travis killed?
ACCORDING TO rules set by the sponsors, each match is moderated by a member of the KU faculty. A scorekeeper and timekeeper also are present.
If the team answering the toss-up question gives an incorrect response, the opposing team can earn 10 points by answering the question correctly.
—This most important of the digestive enzymes acts only in a acid medium and only in acidic solutions.
The team answering the toss up, correctly receives a two-part or four-part bonus question. Each part is worth 5 or 10 points, for 20 possible points.
If any part of the bonus question is answered incorrectly, the other team gets a chance to answer that part and to receive all points possible for that section.
Elimination rounds continue at 7 p.m. in the Kansas Union. Semifinals will be at 7 p.m. and 7:39 p.m., and finals will be at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Forum Room of the Union.
AFTER 20 MINUTES, the team with the most points is declared the winner and advances in competition. The team who wins final will be awarded a traveling trophy.
Engel said the sponsors had had only a few problems with the bowl. Because a buzzer and a light apparatus, scheduled to be ready Monday failed to work, competitors Monday had to raise their hands when they wanted to answer a question.
ENGEL SAID the buzzer would be ready for the signal and fire sounds Friday
He said another minor problem arose. Monday when team members and supporters listened to other rounds and heard the answer to questions asked in their
Each match is a series of rounds. Each round consists of a 20-point up-question, followed by a two-part or four-part bonus question, provided the给出题上 is answered correctly.
Now, the same question is asked of all teams competing at the same time and isn't as simple to answer.

Show features rhythmic, ritual music of tribe
Rhythmic chanting, occasional piercing and violent screams formed the focus of a slide and tape show on the music of theoplee stage of Africa last night in Dyche Hall.
Charles Adams, assistant professor of anthropology, told about 15 people that the tribal music of the Basotho people of southern Africa was a highly developed part of their society, which he said was tremendously diverse.
Adams said that the Basotho music related to all aspects of their lives, from religion and politics to medicinal cures and circumcision ceremonies.
Unlike Americans, who concern themselves with visual aids, the Basosthos place greater emphasis on their musical instruments. In practice, they are said, are played either by hand or mouth.
We have these great cassettes . . . millions have been sold because they are great in quality, looks and value.
Adams played recordings of 'lekolou' reed music, usually played by cattle briers in the Lesotho highlands, and played back loudly, amplifying sounds emitted at circumcision rites.
The flute music, Adams said, is played to control cattle, which are used in barter. Each song directs the cattle in different directions he said, and enables the herdsmen to concentrate their attention on their tasks.
