New News

ICC Dodgeball Tournament Results: The Physics Club dominated the six-team tourney and came back with first place! The prize was pride and $100! Congradulations to all those who participated. But there is more: Not only did the club win the tournament, it looked good doing so. The Physics Club won the "Best Dressed" prize which included $25 and a smashing of the stereotype that all scientists lack a good fashion sense. Unrelatedly, the club dressed with the theme of "Revenge of the Nerds". Hopefully, we will have pictures up soon of the event.

At the last meeting, President Tyler announced his plans to take the club in a new direction: zombieland! To kickoff this theme for the year, we hope to attend Wednesday's Club Day dressed as post apocalyptic zombies fitting the theme of the 2020s. (Apparently, the club has a bit of a somber view of the future.) Future events will include movie nights and a Call of Duty (versus zombies) tournament. Come to the meetings for details!
