LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

When I first looked through the list of sports clubs at FAU, my reaction was something along the lines of, “Holy heck, there’s a lot of clubs here.” Sixteen of them are covered in this issue, and that’s not even all of them.

The best part about that is, there are clubs for just about everyone.

But why do students join these clubs? They don’t get scholarships from the sports, they don’t get much support from the school, and they often have to pay for things like travel, competitions and equipment. When I talked to the students in these clubs, I got one resounding reason: They do it to have fun with friends and meet new people.

So what do the classic elements have in common with club sports then? Well, they can’t be controlled by an all-powerful Avatar, a Nickelodeon cartoon character who can control the elements.

But the elements do serve as an interesting way to divide up the large number of clubs. Each club fits into one of nature’s elements based on certain characteristics to help students pick what they like best.
