The Compubookie is a little green gnome who lives under the Panther Hollow Bridge. He had enough strength after nearly drowning last week [must have rained a lot] to hand in his annual picks for the 1984 Sweepstakes.

Sweepstakes 1984:

Compubookie predicts Pika, Beta Signma Nu to finish one, two three.

by Compubookie

Lat year's race made me a nervous wreck. Did Pika switch teams to aim its Bullet at Vixen? Chute, I won't push that, let's roll on to this year.

Is sweepstakes a zoo? How many Lemurs will there be this year? In all my years I've never seen so many new buggies. All of the top finishing organizations of last year have new three-wheelers. The races should be as exciting as ever.

Theta Xi and Phi Kap look very promising, while Beta, Sigma Nu, CIA and Pika will make their usual good showings. If you're keeping times for Fringe, SDC, SAE and DTD, bring a calendar.

Finally, you won't want to miss the exciting women and alumni heats.

ATO: They've' worked a whole year on their suspension, maybe they'll shock us with a faster buggy.

Beta: Beta is out to prove that they're boss with the presence of their intimidating push team. Although Vixen baled out, not to worry, they've echoed a duplicate. The question is, "Hey Jude, did you make it better?"

CIA: CIA has gone off-track with its buggies and pushers. However, their old charms have not lost their magic, and they will be top contenders again this year.

DU: I don't think they're a contender DU?

Kappa Sig: Safety has surely left its mark on Kappa Sig buggies.

Phi Kap: The Phi Kaps are trying to prove their theory that buggies roll faster on their sides than on their wheels. If it's wrong, it's kurtains for Phi Kap.

Pika: Three in the top six again? No such luck. Pika has yet another new buggy and will be good as always if they can decide which buggy to roll on race day. But if they don't bear down, they'll be scarcely what they were last year .

SDC: Skip 'em.

Sigma Nu: Like everyone else, the Zoo has copied the Lemur design. As always, they'll be fast this year, but did they fall for new pushbar technology?

Theta Xi: Theta Xi is pledging to have a field day with their new buggies, but when will they learn money can't buy everything?

ZBT: Thanks to a rush violation, the Zebes don't have a shot at buggy this year proving that drinking and driving don't mix.
