French Club cancels Mardi Gras Lack of interest by other clubs spurred the cancellation of the annual Mardi Gras spon- sored by the French Club. The club’s spirit was not dampened however, as the club was kept busy with various programs of their own. A perfume sale boosted the club’s finances and allowed them to sponsor a Korean or- phan. Films and slides helped the members gain a better under- standing of French culture and customs.
