Four to compete
in bowl broadcast
By CATHY SAATHOFF
Battalion Staff
Four students from Texas A&M University will participate in a
I nationally broadcast Mini-Week College Bowl series from Oct. 9-12.
The competition, hosted by William Patterson College in Wayne,
N. J., will be broadcast by the CBS Radio Network.
Ruvane Marvit, Camellia Pratt, Allen Schreiber and Danny Erland-
son were selected from eight competitors Sunday night at a special
College Bowl competition. Four members of last year’s champion
Texas A&M team and the four top-scoring individuals competed for a
! spot on the team.
Erlandson’s twin brother, Charlie Erlandson, is the alternate.
College Bowl is a question and answer format game where players
have a limited amount of time to respond to questions. The questions
can include numerous topics from medieval English literature to trivia.
Texas A&M’s College Bowlers will compete against teams from
Harvard, Davidson University, University of Chicago, State Universi
ty of New York- Stoneybrook, Virginia Commonwealth, University of
Tennessee and Clemson.
Paul Fisher, chairman of MSC College Bowl, said the team will play
up to three games or until they lose. Three games would be about one
and a half hours of radio time.
“The winner will automatically go to the national tournament,”
Fisher said. If the team wins two games, it might be eligible to be
selected for a wildcard spot at nationals.
The Rice University team, which was beaten by last year’s Texas
A&M team, went to nationals last year as a wildcard.

The 1980 bonfire coordinators and
yell leaders will hold a traditions
program for freshmen on the field
behing Duncan Dining Hall at 7
p.m., Monday Oct. 6.
Civilian Bonfire Coordinator Sid
Bouse said the program is open to
anyone interested in learning more
about Aggie traditions. ‘‘We re call
ing it a Freshman Traditions Orien
tation Program, since they’re the
ones who need it the most. But any
one is welcomed to come.”
The program will feature many of
the traditions of Texas A&M Univer
sity with the Aggie bonfire taking top
priority.
Most students, particularly fresh
men in the Corps of Cadets, learn
about Aggie traditions early in their
college carreers, he said. However,
there are many more freshmen and
transfer students who may never
hear about them.
“We’ve noticed that freshmen
want to learn about A&M but some
of them never had the chance to find
out about many of the traditions,”
Bouse said.
The program is designed primarily
“to answer the basic questions we
hear time after time,” he said.
Bouse and the other program
planners said they hope to generate a
lot of interest through the program.
They believe that through doing this
they can increase participation in
university activities, especially bon
fire.
Bouse encourages off-campus stu
dents to attend the program, to be
come interested and active in bonfire
this year.
Since there are many students
who don’t participate in bonfire, be
cause they don’t know how to go ab
out it, information will be given at
the program on who to contact if they
are interested in taking part.
The yell leaders will be there to
help generate enthusiasm for the
group.
The program will also touch on
behavior at football games and yell
practices. Bouse said they plan to
explain the meaning of and back
ground of Silver Taps and explain
the importance of “howdy” and the
friendly atmosphere on campus.

FALKNER ISLAND, Conn. —
When the lighthouse on tiny Falkner
Island was automated a few years
ago, the lighthouse keeper headed
for the mainland and left behind his
two pet rabbits.
From that small beginning grew a
bundle of bunnies that numbered at
least 100. But all is not well with the
multiplying rabbits of Falkner Is
land.
With no natural enemies to keep
their numbers in check and a dwind
ling food supply, they face lingering
deaths of starvation and disease.
Help, however, is on the way.
A rabbit rescue team composed of
10 Humane Society officers planned
to visit the island in Long Island
Sound Thursday, courtesy of a Coast
Guard cutter, to try to capture the
rabbits and bring them to the main
land.
Rabbits in good condition will be
put up for adoption, while those
found to be sick will be destroyed.
Humane Society animal department
director Frank Intino said.
He said Humane Society officers
visited the island, about half a mile
south of Guilford, earlier this week
and brought back six rabbits for
testing.
He said he was surprised because
the rabbits were still “fairly
domestic.”
“We were able to capture six bare
handed,” Intino said. “One was so
debilitated we just walked over and
picked him up. The others took a
little chasing.”
