Chadron State College and 1,416 high school students from 52 high schools in three states will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of The CSC Scholastic Contest on Friday.
In addition to the 46 exams that will be given across campus from 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., there will be contests and displays to occupy the students before, after, and between tests.
Not all events require a pencil and paper.
Family and consumer science professor Jay Sutliffe will administer the “Eagle Cook-Off” competition. The team event consists of three members preparing a healthy meal that you might expect a typical college student to eat. The teams have twenty minutes and a limited number of appliances to prepare a food that meets certain dietary requirements of fiber content and fat content at a low cost per serving.
The Chadron State College Scholastic Day is divided into five categories and schools compete for points in each division. The school that receives the most points in each area will receive a plaque.
The top three individuals in each test are awarded medals and seniors who place first in a test receive the Scholastic Achievement Award, which covers the in-state portion of tuition for CSC’s 2010-2011 academic year.
More information about the individual contest and history of the Chadron State Scholastic Day can be found on the CSC Web site at www.csc.edu/scholastic.
