Week in Review, Photo Edition: IRS+Anime= Tennis and Focus the Nation?

Wednesday presented an interesting pair of contrasting clubs: the Accounting Club (UPAA- University of Portland Accounting Association) and the Anime Club. The former was filled with students who desired extra credit and/or were actually intrigued in government work. The latter had around 10-12 people coming in and out, depending on time/opinion of show.  The blend of these two can be personified in tennis and Focus the Nation 2011.  Housed in the Louisiana-Pacific Center, tennis possesses the length and crowd size of Anime club meetings (around 3 hours, depending on length and around 10 people) but the seriousness of the UPAA meetings. Focus the Nation was a daylong event allowing students, teachers, community members and businesses to gather and discuss how to spread the new energy efficient ideas to the world. The sessions also featured the intensity of tennis and the capacity of the UPAA meeting.
Hopefully the following can illustrate the comparisons. If the link in the caption does not work here is the youtube link to "Every Anime Opening Ever Made"




See you next time, for some housekeeping from JPFW. Have a good week!
