Any member of the club wishing to go to competition may. 158 that club sports exist here on campus. Prob- i ably most cant even name the six clubs. The one that most have heard of is the Bowling Club, which made it all the way to national competition in Omaha, Nebraska, and walked away with several trophies. The other clubs are the Judo Club, the Fencing Club, the Karate Club, the Bicycle Club, and Pershing Rifle Drill Team. These clubs provide a place for competi- tion for those who do not wish to compete on regular sports teams, or are not looking for different sports that are offered by the teams or intramurais. Club sports offer competition on the re- gional and national level. They offer the chance to compete in tournaments or just among other students to gain strength. Despite the lack of MSU funding tthe clubs have to raise any money they need themselvest and the lack of stu- dent support, the teams usually do very well in competition, as the Bowling Club showed with their impressive finish this year.
