For trivia kings and queens, new campus organization is perfect outlet for itchy buzzer fingers and random-fact recall

At the beginning of his freshman year at Hamline, sophomore Byll Clark was told in orientation that if there wasn't a student organization on campus he fit into, then he should create his own.

After an unsuccessful year of searching for that perfect fit, he instead decided to revive an organization absent from campus for over two decades.

Which organization? Here's a hint: Clark enjoys watching Jeopardy and playing Trivial Pursuit.

Clark is founder and president of Hamline University College Bowl (HUCB), an organization similar to high school groups such as Knowledge Bowl and Quiz Bowl.

The Hamdogs were again led by top runner and junior Jeff Metzdorff.
