The pilot economics failed to generate the kind of enthusiasm the UIL had hoped, so a combined economics/geography/civics contest will be piloted this spring. It will resemble the science contest with its combined chemistry/biology/physics sections.

Questions will come from basic textbooks.

This test will have a wider appeal to coaches and students, League officials feel.

The test will be provided with the district materials.

Winners will not advance to the region meet, and points will not count toward district standing. The League will also include a form to allow students and coaches an opportunity to express their sentiments about the pilot contest.
