Presently, there is a lot more em- phasis on Spanish classes than on French ones, said club member Rebecca Shen. We're hoping that by drawing attention and support to the club, that we will be able to obtain more materials for interested students. Members met once a month at lunch to watch various French movies and films, and they often wenton excursions to various theatres viewing the movies. - MELAME LAPADULA - MELANIE LAPAD OP: Krista Janasen, Jennifer Strand, Riebli, OTTOM: Russ Brue, Robert Pete Laura Pecoff, Marcelle Calvert, Grant Gar Christine Miller, Sonya Elkins, Jenny Vt OT PICTURFD: Joanna and David ter, Rachel Overton, and Melanie Lapa . le . fe., it tg X lx gi an f 2- ', .N x X Q ' or F l ...XXX L -new LL PM .-.F nz Mm 'A i?QMzv'sQ f ,iw .

VVI-IAT LEADEFQSI-lIF3 he A. S. B., or Associated Student Body, is probably the T only organized club in which every student is a partici- pant. This council is considered the head of the students because it arranges all major issues that are involving school. It also gives a tie with the administration and students. Each January, new student body officers are elected and at the end of each school year, new class officeres are elected. A requirement for all officers is to be enrolled in a fourth period Student Government class. The A.S.B. students' goal in this class is to promote activities that would be profitable and fun for all students. The A. S.

e ri I Me! lpha-0, the Junior and Senior Greek organization, as advised by Karin Alexander, functioned with the aspirations of helping college- bound juniors and seniors better prepare themselves for the fraternal experience . The club also helped to spread Greek culture throughout the school. This fraternal brotherhood thrived on social unity and set aside world injustice for a genuine cultural event' Alpha-0's historical roots began when Mike Rababy and Joe Alfrey were thinking of a way to bring a sort of college fraternity or sorority to the school. After learning about college fraternities, I wondered why there wasn't any Greek life at Torrey Pines, said Rababy iclub presidentj. l'We made a pretty complex constitution, but the ASB turned us down. l tried again with Tim Campen, and the club passed. The Greek club built a float for the Homecoming parade and won an award for the best club float. f'lt's too bad people don't take us seriously, said Rababy. The club had speakers from local fraternities such as Sigma Chi, Sigma Alpha Mu, and the famous S.D.S.U TKE's . Although everyone was encouraged to join the club, seniors were the only standing members, while juniors were pledges. The only requirements to joining were: knowing the Greek alphabet and attending the annual toga party igrape juice and gyro sandwiches were senledj. Alpha-O hoped to expand into a national organization one day, but remember, Even Rome wasn't built in a day. - Melanie Lapadula t's too bad people don'! take us seriously!
