From bored to board games ■When all work and no play makes students dull, the Gaming Club provides a chance to have some fun Good Clean By Josh Ryneal Oregon Daily Emerald It seems the University has a club for pretty much everything. Club sports such as lacrosse and ulti mate frisbee are probably the most recognizable and popular, but there are also options for people who want a little unstructured fun. Among them is the University’s Gaming Club. The club, which meets three times a month, offers its 30-odd members a chance to play board games, card games, role playing games and even the occa sional game of capture-the-flag. Julian Leiberan-Titus, an unde clared junior and president of the club, said he became a member af ter a friend recommended it. “I was looking for opportunities to game,” he said, “And it turned out to be a lot of fun.” Leiberan-Titus also said that the club is always looking for new members and membership is easy to obtain. “We’re very open to anyone showing up to our meetings,” he said. Among some of the new things the club is trying are organized games that people may remember and want to play but don't have enough people to get them togeth er. “One of our members is trying to start up a video game football league,” he said, “but one of my fa vorites is sword-fighting with foam wrapped PVC pipes. We really beat on each other.” Joel Kenney, a sophomore com puter science major and Gaming Club member, said that sometimes the games can be a little bizarre. “We play this game where we smash little clay figures,” he said with a laugh. “It sounds strange, but it's actually kind of fun.” Sarah Giffrow, a senior majoring in media design and the club's sec retary and webmaster, said she joined her sophomore year because she was looking for something fun to do that “wasn't hard-core sports.” “The people here are nice and pretty much open to anything,” she said. Giffrow said the club is trying to expand its membership by putting up fliers and telling students about its existence. “I feel like we're growing a lot and getting the word out,” she said. The club meets at 7 p.m. in the Carson Gold Room the first and third Saturday of each month to play games and once a month for an organizational meeting.
