 Grease
rags, the convention message board, Frisbees and T-shirts –
all might help youth to find their match. But this match is not for
a soul mate, but a chance to win Hesston College’s VW “Bug.”At the college’s booth in the MEA section of A-Junction, high school students are receiving a metal tag imprinted with a four-digit number. If they find the one other student who was issued an identical same number, both students will receive a key that may (or may not) start the engine of the prize vehicle. In a desperate search to find match digits, teens have drawn big and bold numerals on Frisbees, arms and even clothing, and shout out numbers in hallways and on escalators. The fun isn’t only in considering the prize. Katie Watkins of Kalona, Iowa, said meeting “cute guys” was definitely a bonus. But some “fake out” have occurred as well, “like when people say they have your number and they don’t” said Laura Stoltzfus, also of Kalona.  |
