Co-sponsored by CPU, Certs and US Concepts, the competition is part of a nationwide promotional tour to find new comedy talent. Before an expectant crowd gathered in the Russell House ballroom Monday night, 11 hopefuls took a shot at the victory. Host Brad Reeder,a professional comedian soon to perform on Fox network's "Comic Strip Live", broke the ice with a few minutes of comedy. In true comic fashion, he occasionally went head-to-head with audience members. Reeder often chose junior Trent Simpson, who good-naturedly played along, to bear the brunt of his jokes. Criminal justice freshman Jay Tronco started things off by taking a comedic look at television and advertising, questioning the logic of some product usage instructions. Student personnel graduate student John Andrejack did a bit of fast talking while performing a magic trick, and made light of the talking done by females during a aate. Small-town law enforcement was the target of Engineering sophomore Kirk Bigger's act. Creating an act-long joke, Bigger turned hitting a cat on a small-town highway into a major violation. Music senior Harold Littlejohn made the popular "900-number" craze even crazier with his versions of the recordings one might hear when calling two fictitious numbers. jjjj Peddle Your' jiij To The Top! ijij Check Out jiii Our ijij Mountain Bike ijij and 55 A/^/^zakCcz-\ri/^o JV / \UUV/OOVI I^O I Tri-City !;!; 513 Twelfth Street V\ ;!; , , OnlylOMin.

That's stupid!" Seniors Don Poinsette and Phil Cater and sophomore John Kline, calling themselves the Ne'er Do Wells, "rapped" their way to first place. Creating a new phase to the struggle of the Trix rabbit, as well as Other animated rharaeterc nf children's cereals, the Ne'er Do Wells began with their "Cereal Killers" skit. They concluded their act with a finger-snapping rap about the Elephant Man, which brought much of the audience to its feet with approving hoots and applause. Psychology sophomore Chris Love and Sociology sophomore Phillipe Williams gained both big laughs and second place as they poked fun at the toilet tissue industry's fight to make life a little "softer" for everyone. Third place was garnered by Physical Education major Ken Fauler after he pulled heart strings and turned over tickle boxes with his sad, but comical tale of trying to succeed in the dating world. Judging the competition were professional comedian and former host of The Punchline's Amateur Night Andy Hackney, USC Director of Student Media and a former stand-up comedian in Ohio Ed Bonza, and Director of Weekend Operations at WWDM Anthony Keith. Three regional winners will be chosen to compete in Daytona, Fla., Reeder said. The victor will then be flown, all expenses paid, to New York to perform at The Comedy Club. Way It Bicycle f.
