With the ever-increasing popularity of doing crossword and sudoku puzzles and reading Monday Campus Health features appearing in the Arizona Daily Wildcat rather than paying any attention to lectures, students in the Computer Science department are hoping to catch the trend-wave for a new daily feature: "Hex Talk."

According to professors and motivated students within the department, "Hex Talk" would combine everything good about crossword puzzles, sudoku, and the weekly feature that the Campus Health Service puts out on Mondays. Students will be challenged daily with such features as hexadecimal crossword puzzles, fifteen-by-fifteen sudoku rather than the usual nine-by-nine, and a daily paragraph that students would translate into safety tips for preventing ITD's, or Internet-Transmitted Diseases.

Despite support within the computer science department, others expressed concern that the feature would become as much of a joke as the Campus Health Monday feature. "Everybody knows that half the letters in there are jokes from regular students," one student commented, "though I admit most of the questions aren’t beyond frat guys and sorority chicks."

Questions are already pouring into the Hex Talk mailbag, asking about such issues as broken retractable cup holders, mechanical vs. optical foot pedals, and failure to receive Nigerian lottery winnings.
