Survey says attending "SC Feud" night will ease the pain of returning to class after Spring Break.
At 6 p.m. March 26 in the Java Jinx the Southwestern College
Athletic Training Students will be hosting a game night in honor of National Athletic Training Association month.
Based on the theme of "Who's taking care of your kids," the night is a spoof off of the game show Family Feud.
Valarie Hart, athletic training sophomore said, "The National Association chose this theme to let parents and everyone else know who we are, and who takes care of the student athletes.
It is also to get the major out there, so that prospective students can get to know what we are about."
"SC Feud" will be played almost like the original game show. Two teams will line up behind two tables, then the first two contestants from each side step up to the podium, a question
is read and the first contestant
to buzz in must answer the most popular answer.
If their answer does not match up with one of the ones on the board, then the second team will have a chance to answer
and they can "play or pass." If they pass then the host just moves on to the next question.
Points are earned based on the popularity of your answer. The popular answer is derived from 100 students on campus who were surveyed.
Categories include but are not limited to, Disney, sports, athletic training, movies, and Southwestern history.
Whitney Baker, athletic training
sophomore, said, "We were all responsible for coming up with the questions."
Although sign up was last Wednesday, there was another sign up today during cafeteria lunch hours in the Java Jinx. SCATS goal was to have six teams of five participate, currently
they have seven and more teams are botching at the bit to sign up.
To transform the mood of the Java Jinx into a game show feel, there will be a board with the survey answers mounted on the wall.
There will also be two long tables and buzzers for each team and a podium for the hostess who will be Hart.
Students are encouraged to watch teams compete. It will be a single elimination tournament and the victorious team will receive
a prize of either cash or gift card.
Krystal Tyree, athletic training
junior, believes everyone on campus will benefit. She said, "Many people get confused and think SCATS is like physical education and everyone who's an athletic trainer is going to become a coach. So being more informed about different groups is important so that you won't become prejudice toward what you're not involved in."
Other events are being planned. A scavenger hunt will be held at 6 p.m. March 12.
Also "Facts of the Week" is continued from previous years which you can learn about through the Jinx Tale.
For several years now, SCATS has participated in NATA month. The reason why they celebrate in March is because
Athletic Training was invented
in March.
Hart thinks people should make room in their hectic schedules for "SC Feud" night. She said, "I feel like it will give students a small break in school work, so that for just a few hours they can come hang out with their peers."
Baker agrees this event should not be missed. She said, "Some answers will be hilarious."
