College Bowl provides an arena for the brightest students on campus to demonstrate their skills and knowledge under the fire of varsity competition. Each year, more than 200 colleges and universities compete in College Bowl tournaments held around the nation. UM was represented by two teams, which competed against Montana Tech and Montana State University-Billings. Members of the first-place team are Carl Beatty of Vero Beach, Fla., Brian Lowinger of Kent, Wash., and Jay McCleery of Melrose. The second UM team, which placed third, consists of Janaira Johnson of Darby, Elizabeth Hayes of Havre and Dale Woitas of Rapid City, S.D. Created in 1953, College Bowl was on radio until 1957. From 1959 to 1970, it was a weekly television series. Finally, in 1977, College Bowl was developed as a campus program and an official intercollegiate competition run by the Association of College Unions International. UM's College Bowl teams are sponsored by the University Center.
