Connect trivia: Find out which CWRU fact is untrue

In the edition of The Daily sent out Monday, Oct. 1, we asked you to determine which of four facts about CWRU was untrue:

• CWRU students used to chant in Greek at football games
• A CWRU professor was penpals with famous writer T.S. Eliot
• Blue Öyster Cult performed on the CWRU campus
• A movie was made about the life of a CWRU alumnus

Just over a quarter of respondents (26.1 percent) correctly spotted the red herring: Blue Öyster Cult performed on the CWRU campus. In fact, we could find no documented performance by Blue Öyster Cult on campus. However, the other three statements are true. Western Reserve University students used to chant the Greek “O-Sketlioi! pompai! Fou fou apolusai. Ai ai! ai ai! Rah rah! Reserve!" at football games. This is what most respondents thought was untrue (38.6 percent). Robert Wallace, an English professor who taught at the university starting in 1965, corresponded with famous writers William Carlos Williams, T. S. Eliot and Philip Larkin, among others. Only 17 percent of respondents believed this to be untrue. Lastly, a movie was made about the life of Robert Kearns, a Case Institute of Technology alumnus who invented intermittent windshield wipers. Titled Blink of an Eye, actor Greg Kinnear portrayed Kearns in the 2008 film. Just 18.2 percent of respondents chose this answer.
