We ' re striving to be good citizens of the world. The International Relations Club was founded by one of Man- chester ' s most famous alumni and former professors, Dr. An- drew Cordier, now UN Secretary — General Trygve Lie ' s Ad- ministrative Secretary. The members have done a great deal to live up to his expectations. They cooperated in collecting five hundred pounds of clothing for Korean Relief and sponsored a scholarship fund for a worthy student who is studying inter- national relations. They have backed the showing of several movies and sold concessions at Homecoming in order to finance this virtuous project. Discussions, interviews, debates, and lectures provided the food for thought at the regular meetings of this breath of the United Nations on our campus. All of these projects and activities promoted interest and support of the UN on our campus and thus in its small way, the IRC has taken important steps in furthering international understanding between our campus community and citizens in all corners of the world. twenty-six

MC debaters travelled to Earlham, Purdue, Western Mich- igan, Northwestern, Ball State, DePauw and the National TKA Conference at Denver. • tri phi We ' re in the club to learn, practice and enjoy forensic activit- ies. Gavels, podiums and microphones are familiar equipment to these Tri Phi members who are living up to this by giving ora- tions, extemporaneous speeches, anecdotes and talking over the radio in their weekly sessions.
