"Science was hardest" Bowl bewilders
Could you figure the gradient of a stream whose vertical drop in elevation is 315 feet in a horizontal distance of 45 miles?
Marge Brake, Kinsley junior, a member of the McCollum Hall team, stated, "The questions were more difficult this year than any of the years I have competed. There was more math and science material."
Ted Haggard, Salina senior and a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity, said, "Some of the questions rated more as trivia. They were generally good, with hard science questions, but some of the answers would have been found in trivia books."
The answer is seven feet per mile. Easy? To some of the participants of the KU College Bowl, held Sunday, this was one of the easier questions.
SEVERAL ROUNDS WERE CONTESTED on technicalities. Dorothy Sloan, Norton junior and a member of the Watkins team, who was contested explained, "It was fun and stimulating to participate in. It was interesting to see people pick facts out of the air at moments notice. Their quickness impressed me."
STUDENT COMMENT ON THE BOWL was varied. General opinion classed the science questions as the hardest. All participants agreed that the easiest questions were the ones in which they specialized.
FIFTEEN TEAMS WILL return next Sunday for another round of competition. Winners of these rounds will stay in the running to eventually represent KU in the Big Eight College Bowl.
Questions used yesterday covered such areas as music, math, science, history, art, literature, current events, and sports. Fictional characters, dates, story book figures, book titles, Greek gods, and architectural forms were the basis for some of the questions.
Third round elimination games will be played next Sunday in the Kansas Union.
