The Business Economics Society, one of Babson's oldest organizations, again enjoyed a rewarding and successful year. Still a growing organization, the B.E.S. continued several of its traditional yearly programs such as the annual trip to the U.N., and expanded into new areas of interest to its membership. After the glory of graduation passed and took with it some of our most active members, we found ourselves with depleted ranks and sans a president. It fell to our new oflicers: President Michael Krupp, Vice President John Basner, Secretary David Krech, and Treasurer Fred Jean to polish our tarnished image. Fall term was devoted to conducting a successful membership drive, and revising the constitu- tion. With this solid foundation and willing members, we looked to 1966's winter term with enthusiasm. The winter term was highlighted by a field trip to New York. Our members, some of whom spent the weekend in New York, met on Monday at the U.N. for a tour and conferences. The termis speaker list was headed by Mr. Richard Long, a stock broker, who at our open meeting addressed the group on The Future of the Stock Marketf, Spring term found our members scurrying between the Boston Stock Exchange, Carlingis Brewery, and the U.S. Army Natick Labora- tories on field trips. A speaker from the John Birch Society rounded out this semesteris activi- ties. This year was indeed rewarding and success- ful, and for it we especially wish to thank Dr. Genovese who helped our executive committee coordinate activities. After the installation of eighteen new members and a new slate of oflicers, the club looks forward to an exciting year of continued growth and service.

BABSON MARKETING ASSOCIATION The Babson Marketing Association, a colle- giate division of the American Marketing Association, has this year deviated from the more traditional club activities. Our objec- tive Was to strengthen the bonds between ourselves and the other collegiate divisions. The primary tool in facilitating this goal Was a session of business games run through the computer at Chandler junior College. Sev- eral afternoons were spent by a delegation of club members in planning strategy, and then several days in actually running the games. We were all quite proud that Babson won the competition. Again, with unification in mind, Babson and the other marketing clubs sponsored a banquet held in late April. This event proved to be most successful and certainly will be- come a permanent event on the Associationis calendar. The Association maintained an active speaker and Elm program this year. By far the most outstanding speaker program of the year was held in early spring. The speakers were Mr. Iohn Graham, Space and Informa- tion Systems Division, Raytheon Company, and Mr. Iohn Lazur, Associate Technical Director, Communications Division, Mitre Corporation, which is an Air Force consult- ing agency for systems engineering. A wide range of subject matter was covered that night, topics not usually stressed in our busi- ness curriculum. Through programs such as this, and in working with other schools, we hope to bring to our members the practical experience and personal enjoyment of participating in a club with its eyes on the horizon.

NEWMAN CLUB Material wealth comforts the body, but only learning, understanding, and discussion aids and expands the spirit. It is this goal that has guided the Newman Club activities for the Roman Catholic students at Babson. Wfith help of our executive committee, including Van Martin, Jim Somppi, Tom Lessard, and Bob Vanni, and our committee chairmen, Beesom Haile and Bernie Higgins, we set up a calendar of activities that were of interest and worth to our members. The Newman Club, working in conjunc- tionl with the other religious organizations succeeded in regaining the use of the Chapel in Park Manor for our exclusive use for meetings and services. This year we were fortunate enough to arrange for masses on campus, a tradition we hope will continue and expand. Our speaker program has been arrived at by bringing knowledgeable persons on cam- pus to lecture and lead discussions on both religious and secular subjects. Father Rover, addressed our group speaking on Love in Modern Literature. In the spirit of ecu- menism, the four campus religious clubs invited Richard Cardinal Cushing to address the student body this winter. Providence, however, seemed not to be on our side, since all our plans and preparations were rendered useless by an unscheduled un- welcomed snow storm. This year, the Newman Club began a Sunday afternoon film series, which covered a broad spectrum of topics from religion to sociology to history. Also, under the line guidance of our Chaplain, the club's library was broadened. Though our program was a modest one, we hope it will initiate renewed interest and involvement of the students in the campus religious organizations. With the warm, most welcomed help of our Chaplain, Father F itzsimmons, we have developed programs and objectives for the future, that will assure success. D. Wisentaner, N. Towle, R. Parent, R.
