KU quiz team wins Big 8 title
By SOLVEIG EGGERZ
In a tense match before a predominantly pro-Missouri audience, the KU College Bowl team became 1967 winner of the Big Eight Quiz Bowl tournament on Saturday at Columbia, Mo.
After defeating Kansas State, 145-150,the KU team defeated Missouri University in the final match with a score of 105-75.
Of the six participating teams KU was the only one to draw a bye on the game before the elimination match requiring them to compete twice instead of three times.
THE KU TEAM was from McColum Hall, the victor of the KU College Bowl of March 19. Their expenses were paid by the KU College Bowl Committee.
Team members are: Marge Brake, Kinsley junior; Janet Fink, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore; Charles Eberline, Bartlesville, Okla., sophomore; and Lance Reppert, Osawatome senior.
Reppert said the matches, lasting 20 minutes each, "consisted of questions mainly from the humanities, social and natural sciences.
"The questions were very fair," he said, "and everything was very well organized and timed. Our hosts were very hospitable and showed good sportsmanship."
MISS FINK said, "I still can't believe we won. We were very lucky.
"The competition was rough," she added, "and the situation was rather tense because almost all the audience was rooting for Missouri."
Eberline, a math major, noted that questions on math, chemistry, and physics at the Big Eight were not as apparent as they had been at the KU College Bowl.

In regards to the ACME Laundry advertisement that appeared in Friday's UDK we said you could get for just $3.95, your clothes cleaned, moth proofed, box stored, and insured up to $200. Now really isn't that an awful lot to expect for $3.95? The advertisement should have read,"for $3.95 plus regular cleaning charges." So if you'll be kind enough to ignore OUR mistake, I'm sure that ACME will take proper care of your garments even if it will cost a little more than we said. After all, REAL quality is worth the little extra cost!
