Excel and Scholars Bowl Work to Expand Minds Spaulding’s Scholar’s Bowl Team has had a very successful season. Competing in the game based on the College Bowl, is a heads up, fast moving challenge to see which team is the best at fast recall. It consists of many science, sports, current events and other varied questions. Under the direction of Mr. Casey the team meets on Thurs- days to practice and work on Vermont Excel is a special program held at Vermont College geared for able students. The primary intention of Excel is to bridge the distance between high school and college. Excel is divided into two semesters, the first consisting of a theme of controversial issues. A consortum of speakers for each topic presented their views. Among the various topics presented were: the Breakdown of the American Family, apart- heid and Divestment, the Central American Crisis, Woman’s quick recall. The matches are played on Sundays and are telecasted on public radio at 107.9. After a victory over South Royalton, the team met defeat at the hands of a sports minded MSJ team. With two returning members next year, hopes are high for a winning season. — Avery Deffy Rights and Nuclear proliferation and Peace. The second semester will con- sist of mini courses. Those offered are: Speed reading, the Russian’s World, Power and Ethics, Poetry and Psycology. Each course is taught in a college type atmosphere. Excel is enjoyable as well as rewarding. It allows the student academic freedom and the chance to take new courses. It is an important extension of aca- demics outside of the classroom. — Michael Kopach 24 Scholars Bowl
