So far, according to the Chronicle Online, Cornell is the only university to have entered the Automotive X Prize competition, a non-profit scientific bout of brainpower that promises to award a $10 million prize to the team who can engineer a practical, marketable, hyper-fuel-efficient car.

While most of the Cornell team consists of students from the Johnson Business School and the College of Engineering, the team has planned several quartercard recruitment campaigns and "symbolic" car wash fund raisers to "keep the Arts kids busy," said [engineering or business student] Terence Davidovits grad.

"Just think," said Kyle Rasmussen MBA '09, the team's resident business man, "if we won this thing--and don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure we will--who knows what could happen? The University could really do a lot with ten million dollars."
