TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- A contest to find the best and brightest students to form The University of Alabama College Bowl Team will be held Tuesday, Jan. 21, at 6 p.m. in the Heritage Room of the Ferguson Center.

Faculty and staff will serve as officials of the UA tournament. The competition is open to all students; individual academic departments, schools and colleges are also encouraged to sponsor a team. The campus competition will continue on Jan. 22-23 (same time and location) if necessary.

The winners will form a varsity team to represent the University at the College Bowl Regional Championship Tournament in February.
