HUMBOLDT TAKES TROPHY IN NATIONAL QUIZ BOWL

five students of the Wildlife Society's National Quiz Bowl team representing Humboldt State University. A team of Humboldt State University students swept into Reno, Nevada recently and carried away the championship at The Wildlife Society's National Quiz Bowl, outscoring Colorado State University 80-55 in the final round. The quintet was accompanied by 14 other wildlife students from Humboldt and their coach, Professor David Kitchen. "This was only the fourth National Quiz Bowl ever held, however, the Wildlife Society has long sponsored regional competitions," he said. "Humboldt has won the last six consecutive Western Student Wildlife Quiz Bowls and have an overall record of 23 championships in the 33 trips to the event since 1965." The other tourney teams hailed from Purdue, State University of New York at Cobbleskill (the first National Champion), University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, University of Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Utah State and Stephen F. Austin University (Texas). "We are justifiably proud of the tradition of excellence characterized by the wildlife program at Humboldt," said James Howard, dean of Humboldt's College of Natural Resources and Sciences, himself an expert on amphibians, reptiles and their habitats. "This validates our belief that students leaving this program are better educated than students in similar programs anywhere in the country. We have, without doubt, the finest program of its kind anywhere." Congratulations to all participants!
