College Bowl taking entries until Sept. 23 By Holly Becka Staff Writer Sharpen your wits, it’s time again for College Bowl and this could be your big chance to show off how ed ucated you are. College Bowl, an MSC project, is looking for teams or people inter ested in joining the campus-wide competition Sept. 29 through Nov. 17. Winners of Texas A&M’s compe tition will advance to a regional con test, with a chance to go on to nation als. “College Bowl will be an intermu ral (event) this year with teams from A&M competing,” said John Mon roe, College Bowl public relations vice-chairman. “There will be four people on a team competing in two 10-minute halves in a double elimi nation tournament. “Usually, we use a 40-team bracket system. There are several teams signed up now. If we get more than 40 signed up, we’ll be happy to take them,” he said. Monroe, a junior anthropology major, said many clubs organize Col lege Bowl teams. He said lie expects strong participation from campus organizations again this year. The teams will be quizzed on ran dom trivia questions. “They'll be asked information about almost anything - state capitals and presidents to math problems and sports trivia.” Monroe said there is no definitive way participants can study for the competition. “Some practice by getting to gether and playing trivial pursuit, other teams do well by not studying, and there are trivia books you could read,” he said. Those interested in joining a team should go by the College Bowl office in the Student Programs Office in 212 MSC before Sept. 23. Entry fees are $5 per person or $20 per team.

The 41-year-old Cisneros, the first Hispanic mayor of a major U.S. city, announced Monday that he would not seek a fifth term next spring. However, he would not rule out a run at a political office in the future. The mayor said the 14 years he served the city — eight as mayor and six as a councilman — were enough and he had to think of his family’s fi nancial future because the mayor’s salary pays less than $5,000. The announcement did not sur prise many of Cisneros’ friends or foes. “1 genuinely believe that . . . Henry Cisneros’ dream is to provide his children with the same educatio nal fulfillment that he has gained,” said Ruben Bonilla, a Corpus Christi attorney and friend of Cisneros. “1 think it’s a legitimate concern, but I think the removal is only tem porary and once his children’s edu cational foundation is secure, Henry Cisneros will be young enough and capable enough to serve anywhere he chooses to serve,” he said. For nearly a year, Cisneros fr- quently has been asked if he would serve a fifth term after he undertook two controversial proposals — a $160 million domed stadium and a regional water plan — and said he “7 hope it's been good for Shu Antonio and / hope' it's been (good) for each one of you personally. I know it has been good lor me. But, like the old sav ing goes, all good things must end. I’ve made a de cision. It's time to move along. ” — San Antonio Mayoi Henry Cisneros I h< -n gc it's I >pe it tonio and 1 I each one of vou personalh has been good lor me, said. “But, like the old sai all good things muslend l a decision.

The health of his son, John Paul Anthony, who was born with a con- gential heart defect in June 1987, also played a role in Cisneros turn ing down an offer to address the Democratic National Convention and in curtailing his nationwide speaking engagements that supple mented his mayoral salary. Cisneros also has two daughters nearing college age and has said he wants to provide for their education. At a news conference where he announced his decision, Cisneros outlined his tenure, which included welcoming heads of state, attracting new industries to the city and light ing with tax opponent C.A. Stubbs. DAI tent i ast \ e t asnreos cieves offers to join prival nies, but he said he has ma inite plans about his futures try to get the stadium pro water plan passed.
