Pingpong, Baby!
By Sue DePassio
Collegian Reporter
Students gathered yesterday
near the entrance area of Curtiss Dining Hall to compete in
a pingpong tournament.
Freshman Nathan Stoops organized the event
with the help of Randy Stehlik and freshman Jason Gehrke, who
organized the groundwork for the tournament.
"This is to show everyone our setup for
next semester and to get people interested," Stoops said.
Twenty-three students played in the tournament,
which was divided into a male and female competition.
Stoops announced at the event that the forming
of a table tennis club, which will compete on a more serious
basis, is in the works for next semester.
"Right now I am in the paperwork stage
of planning that out, but over the summer everything should
be completed as far as Hillsdale's requirements for a club sport
go, and we'll start it up in the fall."
The plan is to compete within Hillsdale College
as a club sport for approximately a year, and during that time
form a competitive team to play in the National Collegiate Table
Tennis Association.
From there the club team will compete with other registered
schools such as Michigan State University.
