"The team needed someone to step up and organize everything," she said.
Julie Skolnik, Atlanta junior in microbiology, had never heard of rugby before she came to the University of Kansas, but her friend persuaded her to join the KU Women's Rugby Team her sophomore year. Skolnik loved the sport so much she became president.

Skolnik oversees the administrative duties for the team, and the captain, Tristan Neth, Wichita junior, handles the training. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday the team practices at the Shenk Complex at $23^{\mathrm{rd}}$ and Iowa streets.
Skolnik likes that rugby has been good for her health, she said. She goes to the Student Recreation and Fitness Center only once or twice a week because practices keep her in good shape.
"I lost 35 pounds without even
changing my diet," she said.
During practices, the 20 members, 10 of whom are new this spring, spend two hours training for the weekend games. The new players stick together and quickly learn to play rugby, which is similar to soccer except players pass the ball backwards.
“it's kind of a sorority but better because it's ruoby” Skolnik said.
One of her favorite parts about the sport is the camaraderie among her fellow teammates. Each new member pairs up with an old member to help the transition to the team.
Skolnik has fallen in love with rugby, and she plans to play until she graduates next May.

Leighton Lapiere, Salina graduate student, discusses the development of the department's project, a human analog spine model, Tuesday afternoon during the Entrepreneurship Fair in the Burge Union. The model, which is designed to mimic how an average human spine would operate, has been developed for use in the testing of spinal medical devices. The production of this model has been a project of Elizabeth Frizz, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, and mechanical engineering graduate students for about five years. The Seattle-based Pacific Research Laboratories is doing the manufacturing and sales distribution of the model.
