Eric Musgjerd Group activities gave students a chance to experience the im- portance of their contributions. With more than 100 clubs and organizations, going to a meeting became an everyday part of a student ' s life. One new club, the International Students Association, boasted 250 members. Others, like the Amateur Radio Operators, claimed only two pr three in their group. Some clubs met purely for the social benefits gained. Others met for the purpose of promoting a certain academic or profes- sional interest. Whatever the interest, you could probably find a club pro- moting it. Fraternities and sororities sponsored parties, dances, and helped in fund-raising and community activities. The vital role these groups played in the array of campus ac- tivities did not go unnoticed. Eric Musgjerd Matt Nigro tests his skills on a fascinating video game, located in the dorm lobbies.

Former NBA star Willis Reed came to Creighton this year as head basketball coach. His success as both player and coach for the New York Knickerbockers caused excitement for Blue- jay fans throughout the Great Midwest. Lady Jay Softball players continued their tradition of ex- cellence with another fine season. Headed by Coach Mary Hig- gins, the Lady Jays represented the university well. On a more tragic note, the Lady Jay volleyball season was cancelled when a series of events made fielding a team im- possible. Club sports like crew, rugby, lacrosse and swimming again provided the opportunity for healthy competition without the pressure found in varsity sports.
