'Nerd auction' seeks publicity, dates
The Associated Press
PULLMAN, Wash. --
Looking to recruit more women, and perhaps date some sorority women, the largest computer club at Washington State University hopes to hold a "nerd auction."
The idea is to trade their computer skills to sorority girls in exchange for a makeover and, possibly, a date.
"You can buy a nerd and he'll fix your computer, help you with stats homework, or if you're really adventurous, take you to dinner!" Ben Ford, president of the Linux Users Group, said on its Web site.
Ford acknowledged that some of the group's 213 registered members may not be ready for the auction block.
