College Bowl began in 1954 as a radio program under sponsorship of the General Electric Company, moving to television in 1959.  Each week two collegiate undergraduate teams would compete to be the first to correctly answer a variety of scholarly questions.  The winner would return the following week, and the school would receive a General Electric scholarship grant.  In 1965, Western Washington State College was invited to compete.  Traveling to New York City with team coach Dr. Herbert C. Taylor, the WWSC team of Karen Andersen, Richard Araway, Donald R. DesJardien, Jon C. Reeves, and alternates Robert S. Helgoe and Robert B. Wade, competed first against Baldwin-Wallace, winning 190-170.  On their second appearance they were challenged by a team from Randolph-Macon College and won 190-185.  On their third appearance they were defeated by Rhode Island College 100-185.
