Cultural wareness Black Student Union Expands Although the majority of white students feel that B.S.U. has nothing to offer them, one white student, Jenny Allan, has attempted to expand her horizon. B.S.U. has been around since Marcos was opened. The reason for the existence of the Black Student Union is because the blacks felt that they were the minority. They were intimidated to join non- black clubs. They felt they needed a club where they Horizons could share common interests and concerns. The group has many activities such as career day and the march on Dr. Mar- tin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. Career day was when all the sister schools Black Student Unions met at Marcos and helped each other get in- volved in careers and under- standing different cultures. The good thing about this club was that anyone from any race could join and not feel in- timidated. Nakiya Ramsey is an active member of B.S.U - ,L '- ' ' . .

Competition Students Speak for Success Most students have a fear of speaking in front of others. This was one problem mem- bers of the Speech and The- ater Club overcame. These students participated in activi- ties throughout the year in- volving speeches, debates, and acting. On February 8 and 9, in Tuc- son, members took part in speech and acting competi- tions. Semi-finalists included Chris Rierson and Chris Math- ias in duo-acting, Mark Kob- las, Amy Offenberg, Barry Starrfield, Steve Lin, and Scott Silva in extemporaneous speaking, and Barry Starrfield in impromptu. Students win- ning finalist awards were Chris Mathias 16th place-original oratoryb, Barry Starrfield C2nd place-extemporaneous speaking, 6th place-impromp- tuJ, Mark Kobas C6th place-ex- temporaneous speakingb, Scott Silva 14th place-extem- poraneous speakingj, and Amy Offenberg C4th place- speaker points in debateb. Members ofthe Speech and Theater Club worked hard, and they should be commend- ed for their success and the honor they have brought to Marcos. Organizations - 201

Adelman gives a friendly pat to Dave and Matt wil' Jewish Student Union, better know as JSU, is a socially-orient- ed club. It is dedicated to inform- ing students, whether Jewish or non-Jewish, of many subjects presented to today's youths. Though a new club of only two years, JSU is doing a tremendous job for its students. They did not meet often, but when they did, guest speakers were present to speak to the students and help them to understand more about themselves. JSU members did not devote all of their time to learning about themselves. They also held bake sales in order to raise money for the elderly. JSU is a group with a purpose, one with a devotion to others as well as themselves. ,.,..,t,.- .-., .-,-,,.... -t . ,. Af-- . ,. W. r, .-..
