THE RHONE AND THE RHINE Like sauerkraut and crois- sants, the German club and the French, or Franco- Phone, club were compara- tively different yet uniquely alike. Though both clubs stressed their language and culture, each was different in its own way. The German club class had a small group of mem- bers. Describing themselves as more closely related than any other group on campus, partially due to the class club combination and small number of members, the club members felt that the German club class was any- thing but trendy. They promoted several extra- curricular activities such as going to the local German bakery and market. New to the club was its very own sis- ter school based in Berlin, Germany with which ex- change programs were held. Both school clubs trad- ed off exchanges through- out the year. The French club, on the other hand, focused on popular French pastimes. Making and eating crepes as well as attending French events and plays were just some of the the club's activi- ties. However, going on field trips and indulging in French cuisine were not the Franco- Phone club's only accom- plishments.

Though the German and French clubs differed in ac- tivities and goals, it was clear that each club and its members learned about the similarities of world cultures. Like the Rhone and the Rhine, these two cultures merged. Design by John Stephens. Photos by Jason Flegel. OUT FOR A SUNDAY DRIVE ...

FUTURE POLITICIANS week they woke up early to an agenda filled with sight- seeing, lectures and simulat- ed congress. Perhaps the most striking moment was the visit to the Vietnam me- morial, a place where few left untouched. The follow- ing talk on virtue and truth spurred debate on an indi- vidual's role in policymaking. The Close-up week on Capitol Hm is one I'll always remember, even when I'm an Ari- zona Senator. Jason Bredimus, senior Understanding how the government operates was an essential, but tricky lesson to master. Interested stu- dents began early and had a great time in the process.

UP FRONT Model U.N. is a reward- ing way to meet people and at the same time learn how the U.N. works in Washington. -Matt Pridemore, senior What would it be like to be president in the year 2020? Given how soon campaigns start, students need to learn political procedure early. Model U.N., Historical Society and Close-Up paved the campaign trail. While Historical Society met with guest lecturers at night, lunchtime meetings were held for Model U.N. Acting as a representative of Italy, members wrote var- ious proposals, defending them at the mock U.N. meeting. Interested students trav- eled to Washington D.C. with other schools to see 'up close' how the three branches of the govern- ment operated.
