Sports Club Council As Sports Club Council Director for A.S., Dan Padrnos served as an advisor and overseer for the numerou sports clubs on campus such as the surf club and the rugby team. His job, however, fo– cused mainly on allocating funds to these clubs and other duties like entering the teams into competitions, buy– ing equipment and fixing travel arrangements. Another important aspect of his job was to be a representative for the sports clubs to the stu– d~nt senate. Publicizing the presence of a sports council on campus in fall prompted five new teams to join, including the Alpine Ski team, rock-climbing and roller-hockey. A new im– provement this year was the introduction of a guideline for the distribution of funds, which was previously left to subjective judgement and, thus, made a lot harder. An– other innovation was the two-on-two basketball tour– nament sponsored by Padrnos' council. This proved to be a big success--with 24 teams entering. Working on A.S. allowed Padrnos the invaluable op– portunity to see its inner workings and broaden his contacts, as well as providing a good model for teamwork. "Being part of the team gav me a greater appreciation for USD," said Padrnos.

AS Athletics was USD's unseen sports hero. Secre– tary Mike Ferrari and Assis– tant Secrectary Gigi Gillespie were USD students' connec– tion to all athletic events. Promoting student partici– pation, Ferrari and Gillespie planned successful tailgate parties before elect sporting events such as the basketball game against San Diego State. They also promoted the CAA playoffs in soccer, drawing hundreds of specta– tors to Torero stadium. Enhancing USD's spirit, they organized pep rallies and road trips as well. As part of their money– making investment, porn porns and t-sh.irts were sold at all sporting events.
