The lecture will be of particular interest to students, not only because Mr. Pei is close to their own age, but because he is one of the foremost authorities on the movement in China, Lana Johnson, Convocation coordinator, said.

If you know the answers to these questions, you are a good candidate for SUSCs trivia competition. The competition is part of the nationally-sponsore- d College Trivia BowL Participating schools enter a team in the regional tournament scheduled for March. Regional winners will then compete in the national tournament this summer. What we need are some well rounded individuals, those diehard trivia buffs, said Tony Pellegrini, director of student activities. Questions will be harder than Jeopardy, more like Trivial Pursuit questions, he said. Those interested in joining the team should be prepared to spend between two and three hours a week practicing with the team. We will work on learning the buzzer system and how to respond to questions quickly. I am hoping most of the work will already be done reading, learning, and keeping up on current affairs, said Pellegrini. Although only four students will compete at the regional competition, everyone interested in participating should try, he said. Eight team members can attend the competition as alternates are allowed, he said. Even if the students fail to make the final team, in the meantime students may improve their realm of knowledge. I think it is exciting. We have so many athletic competitions, its nice to have one for academics too, said Pellegrini. Students can register for the competition in the Student Center until the first week in January. That should give us sufficient time to learn how to work as a group, he said. four-memb- er |
