The record of most club rejections, a prestigious title passed down through University students, has recently been broken.
The title has passed hands several times since the school’s founding. Two notable pioneers were Gertrude Thomas and Barry Rodriguez. Thomas, a female student, was rejected by 35 clubs in 1901, likely due to misogyny.
In 1995, Rodriguez smashed the record with 328 rejections, but he never graduated, and his records are still disputed due to his usage of performance enhancing drugs: He was as high as the Aviation club and greener than the Grassroots club during almost every general interest meeting.

Feb. 16 (UPI) A debate over whether public schools and universities should have chaplains for sports teams has been revived at Boise State University.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation complained to Boise State that having a chaplain who travels with the football team and leads prayer on the playing field is a violation of the constitutional principle of separation between church and state.

The university responded by using private donations to cover the cost of transporting pastor Mark Thornton to and from games. But the FFRF says the university should abolish the team chaplaincy and educate its athletic staff on appropriate constitutional boundaries.
