hartered Groups Relieve Tensions of Academic Rigors A M ,.,, ,,- ' W Av . V , -g N., V.,,, if . , , . . The diversity of Tech's one hundred plus chartered organizations run the gamut from Ujamma to the Flying Club. Students can be challenged by concrete canoes in A.S.C.E or kayacks in ORGT. Often, an outlet for pent up frustration and sometimes a source of genuine enjoyment, their activities encompass outings, conferences and wild parties. Regardless of the intensity of a Tech education, most students soon realize that academics alone are not enough. Campus groups complement the curricu- lum. Participants balance their education with professional development. The nature of organizations echo both the current concerns and the ongoing tra- ditions evident in the students them- selves. While some groups exist only long enough to reflect current fads, others are permanently ingrained into the Tech fab- ric. ln either case, students, faculty, and staff alike find that pursuing extracurricu- lar activities results in an enrichment which simply cannot be achieved in the classroomf TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT' Scott Newell adjusts a circuit board at WREK station.

PHA CHI SIGMA hmen Learn Lab Safety from Professional Group .,.s..i.L...st., t I IDENTIFICATION PAGE 526 Alpha Chi Sigma is a professional fraternity comprised of men and women studying and working in the field of chemistry, The local chapter, Alpha Sigma, draws students and faculty members from the Schools of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Textile Chemistry. A successful rush program held early in the year increased active membership to thirty, resulting in a significant expansion of chapter activities. Social functions were highlighted by a Fourth of July weekend spent at a lakefront cottage in Tennessee. As a service to incoming freshmen, members conducted a safety orientation program for all students in in- troductory chemistry labs. During the summer, several members traveled to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York to represent the chapter at the biennial con- clave ofthe national group. Plans have been made for the upcom- ing year to host functions at the national meeting ofthe American Chemical Socie- ty and sponsor Alpha Chi Sigma colonies at the University of Georgia and the Col- lege of Charleston.
