MU ALPH A better understanding of mathematics and the promotion of mathematical study were the primary purposes of lVlu Alpha Theta, more commonly known as Math Club. These goals were achieved through field trips and guest speakers. Highlighting the first semesteris activi- ties was the groupns excursion to the Sac Peak Observatory, which proved to be both educational and entertaining. An important event of the second semester was the Na- tional Nlath Test, sponsored by the Math Club in March.
