By MARY ANN HINNANT Battalion Reporter Anyone who thinks he knows a [lot of trivia now has the chance to (prove it. The MSC College Bowl [Tournament, Texas A&M’s favo- jrite brain game, begins Oct. 1. Much like a TV game show, [College Bowl lies somewhere be- [tween “Family Feud’ and j “Jeopardy.’ It can be a lot of fun [but the questinos are tough, and [they cover anything from art to j zoology. For example, last year’s con testants were asked to name the 'most recent Broadway musical to win an Academy Award for best [picture, the names of the j Hawaiian Islands, and the second \ longest river in the world. Teams of four students face leach other as they wait for the question to be asked with their fingers nervously resting on an electric buzzer. Every question answered cor rectly helps the team to win the game and move up the tourna- ! ment ladder. j Although the final winning team doesn’t receive $10,000, as on the f College Bowl” television j program, it does get to compete against other college teams at the [ Regional College Bowl Tourna ment to be held at Texas A&M | next February 7 and 8. The winning team from the re gional tourament advances to the National College Bowl Tourna ment which is tenatively sche duled for March although specific date and time have not yet been decided. This is only the second year for A&M to particiapte in College Bowl, but tournament chairman Paul Fisher expects more stu dents to compete in this year’s tourament. “We had a good tourout of 16 teams entering last year which made the first year of College Bowl at A&M successful,” Fisher said. “This year, we expect about 32 teams to enter the tourament. ” Kathleen McElroy was a con testant in last year’s tourament and plans to enter again this year. “It’s such an exciting game be cause your brain is functioning so fast and your finger is just waiting to hit the buzzer,” she said. “The adrenalin really gets going. “Although our team didn’t win, I still had a fantastic time. There are things in your head that you didn’t know about until you’re forced to remember them,” she said. Although there isn’t much of a way to prepare for the tourament, McElroy hoped that glacing through an almanac might help. The tourament will be held ev ery Wednesday night from Oct. 1 to Nov. 1. ‘Global village ’ coming Int’l exchange pushed By JULIE STANDARD Battalion Reporter The Texas A&M University International Services Office may be “foreign” to most Aggies. But Dr. Donald Boucher, director of international services, plans to promote the involvement of more domestic Aggies in what he calls an “overseas experi ence.” “I want to see our students at Texas A&M going out and experiencing things around the world,” Boucher said. Boucher has replaced the former director of interna tional services, Dr. P. Wayne Gosnell, who resigned in August. Formerly the vice president of the U.S. Sports Academy in Mobile, Ala., Boucher assumed his duties in Room 256 Bizzell Hall two weeks ago. The International Services Office helps to orient in ternational students in their new home and promotes a voluntary cultural exchange between Texas A&M’s domestic and international students. None of the previous programs in the office are going to change, Boucher said, but more emphasis will be placed on cultural exchange. Naming several programs the office is already in volved in on an international basis, Boucher said he would act as a catalyst in encouraging these programs and starting new programs for more student involve ment overseas, including athletic competition. “I will do everything I can to promote international experience,” he said. Boucher said he is a “believer” and “fanatic” on the advantages of foreign travel, study or jobs. “It changes the way you perceive the United States,” Boucher said, adding, “it aids us in looking at ourselves.” Some of Boucher’s former positions include being a volunteer and director of the Peace Corps in several different countries, adviser to the minister of education at Guatemala, the administrator for the coaching staff of the 1976 Saudi Arabian Olympic team and the executive dean at World University in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He has lived outside of the United States for a total of 12 years. Because of the international students who come to Texas A&M to study and then return to their native lands, Boucher said the University has a well-respected reputation around the world. However, by promoting overseas activities, he said Texas A&M could also be known for providing its domestic students with an international experience. “Aggies have a lot to offer these countries,” he said. Eventually, Boucher said he would like to see Texas A&M campuses in other countries. Calling the world a global village, he said, “We have no choice. We re going to live in a world that is going to be affected by things outside the United States.” The world can be better understood, he added, by people learning other languages, customs, ideas and points of view. Anyone interested in an overseas experience is en couraged to come by the international services office, Boucher said. COUNTRY & WESTERN DANCE LESSONS!

Rind, like a travel brochure. Travel Emphasis Week, sponsored by the MSC Travel Committee, shows Texas A&M University students the travel opportunities available to them. Rixhibits, slide presentations and travel information will be set up in the main hall of the M SC from 9a.m. to 4 p.m. today through Friday. Travel Committee members will he at the tables to answer questions. EfTravel Emphasis Week is a week where we promote travel in gener al, said Debra Lanham, chairman of the committee. “We try to come jacross as fun and informative.” ■nformation is available through the handouts about committee- sponsored trips, the Overseas Loan Fund and the Adventure Series, a group of lectures on travel. The committee will be sponsoring four major trips during the year, said Theresa Chiang, program adviser for the committee. A trip to Ireland and a Caribbean cruise are scheduled for spring break, and a tour of Europe and a trip to Mexico are being plan ned for the summer. “These are four expensive trips that people need advance notice on, ” Lanham said. The Overseas Loan Fund is avail able to students interested in travel ing abroad for either educational or cultural purposes. The committee administers interest-free loans to screened applicants. “It doesn’t mean we want to supp ly somebody with a big chunk of money,” said Chiang. “It’s more moral support.” Students are also encouraged to go to banks for financing for their trips. Interviews for those interested in the fund will be held in November. The Adventure Series will consist of two lectures, one at noon on Tues day and another at 11 a.m. Wednes day. Both will discuss work/study programs abroad, said Beth Polak, who is in charge of the series. “The Adventure Series is pretty much a unique experience,” she said. “We’ve had (in the past) a man come in from Houston and talk on safaris in Africa, and someone who was living with Indian tribes in South America. It makes it more interest ing to someone who might never have the chance to do something like that.” Results from the week are usually good, said Melanie Campbell, direc tor of special projects for the com mittee. “It usually stimulates a lot of in terest in work/study abroad and traveling abroad,” she said. Sign-up sheets will be available on the tables for people interested in going on any of the committee’s trips. “Something that gets lost some times when people think about the MSC Travel Committee is they think all we do is run group trips,” said Lanham. “We’ll be giving out infor mation to help them run their own trip.” wSTATE o Prescriptions Filled Glasses Repaired 216 N.

Actual construc tion cost of the annex was $478,000, he said. Construction of the center’s offices and labs, located on the West Campus, was phase two of the plan. Build ing costs for that phase, completed in May, amounted to $1,918,850. He said another reason the old laboratory was de molished was to expand the central power plant, which is located on Ireland Street. Merchant said expansion of the plant is necessary to accomodate the addition of two women’s dorms and the Administrative Services Building. Water cooling towers are being built at a cost of $2,077,413, Merchant said. Estimated completion date for the power plant expan sion is set for Febuary 1981. tai led out as anaefl Radio Detectin! ics, the nextc device for detectii hie to radar.
