The Sandspur

Issue date: 2/4/05 Section: Life & Times

Here at Rollins College, our men and women are known for their aesthetic beauty and fabulous sense of style, but what does it mean to truly judge someone for who they are? Can we say that someone has a "sweet personality" and really mean it rather than to simply use the phrase as a last resort when you can't think of anything else nice to say about a person?

We at the Sandspur propose to allow Rollins students to select the sweetest couple, and then we will send the two of them on a date!

So, do you think that you are up to the challenge of letting Rollins select you based on your personality alone?

TIMELINE

THIS WEEK: Enter by submitting a one paragraph bio describing who you really are (what you are like - not physical characteristics! - what you do, what you think of yourself, plans for the future, etc.). Please include your name and a nickname. Your real name will only be known to the Sandspur editorial staff, but in order to retain anonymity, please do not use a screen name or a nickname that others will know you by. This name will be
published alongside your bio.

WEEKS 2-5: Contestants will have several simple challenges to complete, including answering questions set by Rollins students. Each Monday and Tuesday, the Sandspur will set up a table outside the campus center during lunch to survey Rollins students, and allow them to make their selection. After two weeks, we will start cutting contestants based on these surveys!

WEEK 6: The Rollins Sweetest Couple will be announced in the newspaper along with their true identities. They will then be sent on a date provided for by the Sandspur.

WEEK 7: Pictures from the date will be published in the newspaper, along with the couple's evaluation of each other.

THE DATE

If you are the last couple remaining, you will win a trip for two to any Disney World theme park with dinner included!
