Student Activities/Club Sports ''1 oining the club has made college fun and bearable. It's especially fun to get away to go skiing. You don't think out anything else," said Stanley Liang, ski team president. The ski team travels to races around the state to compete with about nine other schools. "There are a wide range of levels. There are some good quality racers and some beginners. The women's team has been doing better than the men's," said Liang. Interest in the club is "at a low point right now. We had a lot of die-hard skiers graduate last term," Liang said. New members with or without skiing experience are encouraged to join along with skiers of intermediate ability or above. Ski team member Tanya Strejc hated ski lessons when she was a kid, but she did always want to race. She won the Mt. Hood Champi– onships in 1986. "I was so excited. I never thought I could do that," said Strejc. Now she skis about two times a week, more during winter break. People who want to learn to ski should "go up there and do it. I don't think people have to take lessons. Just to watch others is the best way to learn," said Strejc. • • • MicheUe Keeseker
