New club looking to kick off fun activities for all students
By: Oliver Pulcher, Art & Life Editor
At the most recent Student Governance Council meeting on Sept. 24, a new club was voted into existence. The club, designated as “Fun In The Quad Club,” was created by Club President Paulie Mills.
Fun in The Quad Club is a student club dedicated to gathering students together in Meramec’s library quad with the goal of encouraging community amongst the student body, according to Mills.
The club does this by organizing various campus wide game/sporting events.
Originally the club started as a small hacky sack circle in front of Meramec’s library. This later developed into two six person circles in the quad.
Upon seeing this, Club President Paulie Mills got the idea to start a student club dedicated to maintaining the sort of environment that the hack circles created.
“Originally, it started with my teacher; he’s a really big fan of hacky sack. And I always wanted to play some games in the quad like what we did in the beginning of the semester. It seemed like everyone was having fun and I felt like if we did that more often it would be a lot more fun and it just became a thing after that,” said Mills.
Outside of the regular hacky sack circles that sparked the clubs founding, other club activities include games such as frisbee, kickball, and pick up games of football and soccer. Mills also said that once the colder months hit and club events can no longer be held in the quad, the club will attempt to move its activities inside into the gym.
Currently the club has no formal meeting times as it needs more members, however once the club acquires more members, a formal meeting will be held once a month in order to determine which activities the club will choose to host and participate in.
