Thursday, September 11, 1986 Page 12 Daily Nebraskan Buenos Aires Hello By Croig Anton Wake up. you damn incon siderate bunch of monosyllabic greenhorns! Okay, it's been brought to my attention from some of you readers with metal plated foreheads that you are bored with the current state of affairs. Bored. Bored. Boring. Cmon, you druids, pull your heads out of the moat! Damn, we're two weeks into the semes ter, and you're bored? You bor ing people are wimpy, and if you think I 'm being too hard on you, I'll give you something to cry about. Let's set some priorities and get on with the business. Mon key business, that is. I've finally concocted a little something for all of you folks that set your VCRs to record "Loueboat" while you go shopping at the Starva tion Army. Wimpy! Yes. it's contest time for all of you tender footed zippos who keep your brains in the glove compartment. I love contests, because somebody always wins, and loses, but hey. kids, in my contest everyone is a winner! That's right I'll be giving away prizes of all shapes and sizes. Tell 'cm what they could win. Johnny! "WWEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL, it's the new Kawasaki-Jet Ski-Lawn-mower from Toro!" Thank you. Johnny. Serious ly, folks, here is the contest: I'm searching for the ugliest room mate on campus. If you or your roommate con sider yourselves ugly, please submit a senior picture from high school, polaroid snapshot, or just bring your ugly room mate in to me. Craig Anton, care of the Daily Nebraskan, located downstairs in the Nebraska Union. Within the next week. I, along with the senior editing staff and Price-Walcrhousc (they do the Oscars), will tabulate and select the ugliest roommate for the fall semester. There arc two categories: butt ugly boy and butt-ugly girl. Oh. relax, if you win, you will not be exposed to the public as butt ugly. . . maybe just around my apartment, but not in public. Rules for the Ugliest Room mate Contest: 1) Your roommate must be ugly, fie or she must, of course, resemble the human species. Please, no circus people, science projects or legally harbored rodents. However, heavy metal fans arc acceptable. 2) Your roommate must be of freshman or sophomore status. We will not accept entries from juniors, seniors or graduate stu dents. SAs. RDs. TAs and in structors also will be exempt from competition because. . . well. I think that goes without saying. 3) Polaroid. 8x 1 0 glossy, sen ior picture, or recent photo, accompanied with name of sub ject and name of roommate submitting photo, should be handed in to the DN no later than midnight, Wednesday, Sept. 17. Please, no stick draw ings or three-dimensional hol ogram images. 4) For those who cannot be resourceful enough to submit a photograph, I once again sug gest bringing the ugly subject to the DN office. I or someone with proper rank will be there to greet you. Keep in mind, there is no tal ent portion involved with this contest, so don't walk into the office swallowing pencils. The rules are easy, so get out there and have some fun. That 's what this is all about good, clean, collegiate fun. Kind of like bonfires, thick textbooks and sleeping late on weekends. Like late night popcorn, letters from home, new sweaters and roommates with severe acne problems. Sure, some of you are think ing. "Gccz, what a dumb con test. " Well, to you I can only say. stick around and watch what happens, maybe you'll end up a winner, maybe your room mate will send in your picture. Maybe your roommate will stait a campaign, and maybe you'll become the ugliest roommate in the Big Eight, or in the Midw est. Maybe your roommate will get you a sponsor, and you could get on television and show everybody how ugly you are. Or maybe your roommate might just chop you up while you're sleeping the possibili ties are endless! Cmon. bring me the ugliest roommate. I'm getting bored.
