Peking University, Beijing, March 7, 2005: The triangle place of PKU became a sea
of crowds again as the associations recruitment on campus withdrew its curtain at
noon today. Fancy leaflets, colorful posters, together with the flapping banners have
a strong appeal to the students passing by.
With more and more new associations and clubs emerging, every associations use
all its skills to attract new members. The Youth Amateurs‘ Society of Photography
displayed an album of their masterpieces of photographs; several sets of
body-building instrument were laid out in front of the poster of the Racing Boat
Association; and the cartoon pictures drew by members from Original Fire Cartoon
Association were most conspicuous, with all kinds of images and characters in bright
color. Some associations took their own advantage, using unique ways to attract
passers-by: guitar fans came to a stop at the on-the-spot demonstration put on by
the Guitar Association, while golf lovers went up to have a try at the simulated
miniature golf court.
As it was in former terms, many students surrounded the recruitment spot of some
old popular associations, such as Love Heart Club, Peking University Badminton
Association and so on. The well-known titles of these old popular associations are
sufficient to have a promising enrollment in the new term.
The associations and clubs on campus of PKU are all built up spontaneously by
students sharing the same interest. Once founded, the recruitment of each term is a
great chance for each of the associations to give publicity to its own characteristic, so
that it will become stronger and more popular year after year. Each association is
sure to gain a lot at the end of the recruitment period which usually last about two or
three weeks long.
