Professors dash for dollars
COURTESY OF PETER SLOVENSKI

The middle-aged faculty 55-meter dash championship will be held on Tuesday, January 29 at 5:00 p.m. on the Farley Field House track. The race is open to any faculty or staff members who are over 40 years of age.

The first two competitors to sign up for the race are defending champion Paul Franco (Government) and defending runner-up Peter Slovenski (Athletics). "We're going to have drug testing this time to test for performance enhancing drugs," said Coach Slovenski. "I think this will make it more difficult for Professor Franco to win." Professor Franco has already begun a strict training regimen. "I've cut back on both my drinking AND smoking," noted Professor Franco.

Professor Henry Laurance, the college one-legged hopping champion, has agreed to serve as chief finish judge. Admission is free to Bowdoin students or employees. All others will be charged $5 at the door. Proceeds from the gate receipts will be split evenly between the top two finishers. "If I finish in the top two I plan to donate my share of the proceeds to charity," said Coach Slovenski. Professor Franco said that if he finishes in the top two, "I plan to keep my share of the proceeds for my own use."
