YCSC Bowling Tournament

On Sunday March 14, the Yeshiva College Student Council sponsored a free student bowling tournament at Ball Park Lanes in the Bronx. Attended by approximately one hundred students, the turnout reflected a diverse slice of the YU student body united by their desire to bowl and have a good time.

The students were grouped into teams of four, with each student bowling three games apiece. Yaakov Falk and his team won the tournament with a combined score of 560 for the series, and Falk had an individual tournament high scoring game of 216.

Hadar Weiss, (YC '00), a participant, described the evening as "an amazing success," observing that "people had lots of fun." Weiss also called Falk's victory "an incredible feat considering the alley we used had lots of heavy balls."

Ari Kellman (SSSB '00) explained that although certain "mishaps" occurred that night, they were handled "very well" by the organizers. Kellman added, "I think events like this are very successful and they should probably be planned more often. Even though they are a cost to the University, they are a great time for students to relax and form bonds with one another."

Jonathan Mell (SSSB '00) seized on another important benefit of the bowling event: "Cool T-shirts!" he exclaimed.

Organized by Aryeh Goldberg aided by Brian Glass and Eric Distenfeld, the event was widely acclaimed as one of the most successful to date. According to the organizers, the Office of Student Services was instrumental helping run the event, with special thanks going to Coordinator of Student Services Andrew Leibowitz, an avid bowler with considerable ball-rolling talent.
