i realize the examples are WAY over the top (obviously they are meant to be) but just because something is legal doesnt mean that the school should be spending funds on something like a gambling club.

side note - comparing poker to chess is absolutely retarded, and you know it.

I would join the porno watching club if I get to watch with obeythekitten. It would be awesome to hear her caustic commentary.

obeythekitten: "Can you BELIEVE that??? Nobody makes those retarded sounds when they have sex!"

Yeah, I must be retarded. My bad.

Kitten, you're pretty confident AND spiteful. You might want to check a SINGLE source before spouting-off. It's ok to be wrong, but don't be wrong and mean.

the issue has absolutely nothing to do with the legality of it...it IS an issue of spending university funds on an activity that is morally objectionable to many people.

I thought these clubs were called fraternities. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I have a great idea: TRY IT!

They can't eat you. All they can do is say no.

If nothing else, start an online web ring/forum. I may not know how to do that, but I'm sure you young college kids would have no trouble getting that done.

Worse case scenario, call your club the Card Playing Club...not Poker Club.

Ok guys... thanks for all the feedback. Here's what I've come up with so far....

First of all I plan to have Weekly Club exclusive single table tournaments where the top 3 places accumulate a point total. Also, for showing up to meetings members will also get points. Then at the end of the month the person with the highest point total will get the next book purchased for them with the University funding money. No prizes will be giving for these tournaments. Also, once we get established I plan on having large open tournaments donating 10-15% to charity, 5-10% going back into the club and the rest being paid out accordingly. As far as the discussion part of the club goes, I think a good idea would be to have each person submit 1 hand history to me during each meeting and then I will type them up and make copies for everybody and then hand them out at the following meeting.... almost treating these as homework. Points will also be awarded for completing the hand history sheet. The larger part of the club will focus on book discussion. And I would like to make odds memorization of common situations mandatory. As far as asking for university funding goes, none will be used as a payout. I plan on putting this money toward Hoodies, shirts, hats, chips, and cards. Also I plan to have a fully functional website up in the fall with blog space for all of the club members.

Tell me what you think about my ideas so far and anything else you can come up with will be a big help. Thanks a lot
Mike

So, you'll charge a rake. That's a good deal. I hear all those casinos in PA are making lots of money.

Oh, wait. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
