MEDFORD, MA -- The 2009-10 school year at Tufts University has proven to be the era of trivia games: everywhere one looks, it seems he or she is being asked the capital of Zimbabwe, or the chemical formula of table salt!
Starting next Saturday night, the TCU Senate will jump on that bandwagon, offering Tufts students an opportunity to attend the first ever "TCU Senate Trivia Night."
The event will solely feature questions -- both historical and current-related -- about the Tufts Community Union Senate. First prize winners will earn the chance to sit in on a real, live senate meeting, while second prize winners will be treated to lunch with a senator of their choice at either Dewick or Carmichael.
What is this building and what does Senate have to do with it? Find out more at Senate Trivia Night!
"This is part of our new, hands-on campaign," said an anonymous Senate source. "We want Tufts kids to feel like we're not some big, scary organization. If they work hard at trivia, they can get a free ticket to see us doing what we do best."
To encourage attendance, the TCU Senate released a preliminary list of some of the questions at next weekend's first event. 'How many voting members does the Senate have?'; 'Who reigned as president from 1942 to 1945?'; and 'What does the treasurer do?' led off the list.
"The questions are interesting, they're engaging, and they get people excited," added the same source as before. "This event is about having fun. That's why we're also offering a plate of mozzerella sticks for only five bucks."
It is also rumored that previously-private information regarding why the Senate decided to hold Winter Bash off campus may be revealed at the event.
