EMILY REID/Arizona Daily Wildcat Psychology sophomore Tamara Rosen attempts to hold down a mixture including slightly fermented shrimp and vinegar during a taping of MTV's show "I Bet You Will" yesterday afternoon outside Old Main. She was awarded a total of $120 for keeping up her end of the deal, $100 for drinking the mix and $20 for not vomiting.

Students exchange self-respect for money on MTVs "I Bet You Will · "

Drinking a glass of milk can do a body good, but one UA student might not feel the same after an MTV host dared her to drink milk strained through her shrimp-and-vinegar-soaked sock.

The student, psychology sophomore Tamara Rosen, was one of nine people who agreed to set aside their dignity for a chance to win money when an MTV game show came to campus yesterday.

On the show, "I Bet You Will · ," contestants were challenged to perform a variety of stunts in exchange for cash.

Aside from Rosen's challenge, eight other students were asked to complete challenges, including one student who had his backpack filled with concrete.

"Basically, we just want to see what kids will do for cash and get them a little messy before they go to class," said Pete Yango, production manager

THERESA WALTZ/ Arizona Daily Wildcat Marketing freshman Cameron Moses, with assistance from Jive Jones of MTV's "I Bet You Will,"stuffs pancakes, syrup, minestrone soup, cheesecake, toothpaste and mouthwash down his pants for a total of $80 yesterday morning outside Old Main. The legs of his shorts are duct-taped to keep the produce from falling out.

Rosen was originally dared to have one shoe and sock filled with the fishy-smelling mixture, but then host Jive Jones upped the ante by asking her to drink a fresh glass of milk that was filtered through her soiled sock.

Rosen said she would probably spend her reward on a new pair of shoes.

Yango said the University of Arizona was one of the top destinations the New York City-based crew chose for its warm weather and "a great bunch of kids."

In another bet, business freshman Nick Kolbe was offered $200 to have his backpack filled with wet concrete. Although he was only paid $100 yesterday, he would receive the other half of his money if he walked around campus all day with the concrete filled backpack.

Kolbe was to come back to the second appearance of the show tomorrow to receive the rest of his money.

Spurlock said would be returning tomorrow not only to make sure Kolbe delivered as promised but also to bet more students that they'll do a variety of odd stunts.

The show will air June 5.

Tomorrow, the show will travel to Tempe to give Arizona State University students a chance to win as well.
