According to informed sources, in region 15, the ACUI coordinators, in order to assist the teams in preparation, gave each school copies of the 1982 regionals and intramurals. Lo and Behold, when the teams arrived, they discovered that those were the questions reused by the "College" Bowl Co. this year, and so the regional was postponed until different questions could be obtained. In that light, please fill out the enclosed questionnaire.

DEDICATION

This issue of BUZZER is named in honor of Carol Guthrie for her decade long contribution to Academic Buzzer Competitions. She continues to be active, directing several tournaments this year. Thank you, Carol.

CONTEST

BUZZER is considering holding a round-writing contest that would judge new Academic Buzzer Competition Rounds for quality. The winners would be selected by a panel of impartial judges and would be awarded a pecuniary prize. Rounds would then be sold to interested parties in order to defray costs.

If you are interested in such a contest, contact BUZZER. If there is enough interest, BUZZER will sponser such a contest over the summer.
