Clubs to recruit next week
Juniors Michael Cox and Nolan Warner often find themselves deep into their video game trance when they finally feel the need for food at 2 a.m.
Cox and Warner said they enjoy playing video games so much that they created the Super Smash Brothers Association at the University of Nevada, Reno. The duo will recruit members at the upcoming club fair from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 17 at Hilliard Plaza.
“We started the club because the gaming scene in Reno is growing and we felt like we should be a part of that,” Cox said.
Cox and Warner are not alone when it comes to students pursuing their passion. In fact, there are 208 other recognized clubs on campus, said Jason Entsminger, director of clubs and organizations. The club fair gives students a place to find what 50 of those clubs have to offer, he said.
“We had a table at the club fair last fall, but this year I think we will set up a TV and a Wii and play video games,” Cox said. “Our club isn’t about handing out fliers. We are about gaming and we want to find the people that have the same passion.”
The College Brewers of Nevada will hand out breathalyzers and alcohol abuse information while explaining what their club is about, club president Charlie Johnson said. The Peace Lovers will be blanketing instead of tabling, showing their laid-back personality.
Gracie Geremia, former president of Circle K, said the club fair is helpful.
“You can’t tell what Circle K is about by seeing the name online,” she said. “You may think it’s about a store or about racing, when it is really about community service. The club fair is a place for students to find out who is in which club and what each club is about.”
When attending the club fair, there are some things to take into consideration, Entsminger said. Students should decide how much time they can devote, their interests and the number of clubs that they want to join.
