Wherever people get together, there are groups formed — mostly through similar interests, simi- lar ideals and similar goals. Thus, any campus community becomes the ideal situation for organization. Kent State university is no exception. On its campus can be found something for every in- terest and preference. Want to learn to shoot a rifle, bake a cake or dance? Interested in politics or learning more about your faith or future pro- fession? Or just want to have a good time with people who share similar goals?

Many prefer the pro- fessional groups, such as the American Chemi- cal Society, the Industrial Arts Club, the educa- tion associations and many others. These groups are usually made up of majors in a certain sub- ject, who gather in order to study special prob- lems of their field. Others prefer to join organizations such as Golden K or Alpha Phi Omega, where service to the university is the primary objective.
