Black Student Union by Suzie Spaulding he Black Student Union is a campus club dedicated to spreading black awareness both on campus and throughout the community, BSU provided a social setting and support group for mem- bers and helped students, especially fresh- men, adjust to life at the University of Puget Sound. Each year BSU promotes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Black History Week, which falls during February. The group also sponsored such activities as speakers from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People CNAACPJ. One such speaker was Kwame Toure, formerly Stokely Carmichael fpre- sented by BSU and Lecturesl. Toure spoke on Pan-Africanism: l985, dealing with third world countries, the history of pan- africanism, and its future. Toure was a lead- er of the Black Power movement in the 1960' s, and is now active in the movement to liberate black South Africa. Through bring- ing speakers such as Toure to campus, BSU adds a vital voice to UPS and the surround- ing community. 119 HWH11 Staff ui-o-Hawaii is a campus group whose goal is to promote the Hawaiian culture and spirit of ' fAlo- ha. Much ofthe work of Hui-o-Hawaii cen- tered on staging the Luau -- the highlight of Parents' Weekend every year. Preparation for the dinner and two-hour show began in October, when committees started planning dances, decorations, and food. Dance prac- tices began shortly after, for it takes much practice to present the complex and beauti- has become time and members donated and time to the Luau the Luau not only covered ASUPS budget allocation, but were l enough to allow the establishment of a o-Hawaii scholarship. However, Hu Hawaii activities were not limited solel the Luau. Group members also took t roller and ice skating, hiking, skiing, , bowling.

X. l lar' ple to celebrate such important holidays as Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Chanakah, and Passover. All students were invited to attend these functions. The organization sponsored speakers and films concerning topics that dealt not only with Jewish issues, but with the whole student body. The group planned to work with Arab students to form a Middle East Week, with traditional food and programs held dealing with Mideast topics. The Jewish Students Organization is the UPS campus' link to such organizations as the UW B'nai B'rith Hillel, the local Jewish community, and the Anti-Defamation League. The group worked with Religious Life in unifying the different religion repre- sented on campus, and helped Jewish stu- dents feel less alienated on the Puget Sound campus. ta ' -'im i Inn II by Suzie Spaulding nn Il is a Christian fellowship group for Puget Sound students, both on campus and off, that encourages greater com- mitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The group provided a place where Chris- tians can grow in faith, realize their own worth, support each other, and build strong friendships with other Christians. The Inn II met each Tuesday in Kilworth Chapel for singing, prayer, and the sharing of inspira- tional messages. These meetings were not intended as a replacement for, but rather as a supplement to, church attendance. In fact, each participant was encouraged to find an area church of their choosing in order to experience all aspects of religion. The fel- lowship reached a large majority of the cam- pus through regular meeting and its involve- ment with the film series. The Inn II also affected the outside community through a sister fellowship with Pacific Lutheran Uni- versity. LEFT -- Jewish Students Organization.

eminist Student the FSU he Feminist Student Union was formed out of genuine concern for the needs of women at the University with the recognition that sexism and :ism negatively affect relationship among people. The group's purpose is to provide upport group and meeting place for peo- : who share both an awareness of socially- osed limitations, and a desire to cele- te the strengths and human dignity of women. I think the importance of a group like the Feminist Student Union goes above and beyond the equality issue, said co- coordinator Robin Clark in a Trail article. She believes that women share a common history Hjust as far as the experiences tand feelingsl they may have had. The Feminist Student Union welcomes any person who wishes to join its community.

Returning to school, combined with the additional re- sponsibilities of jobs and families, can be difficult. This is where SAGE can help. Members meet for Weekly lunches to dis- cuss ideas, plan activities, and just to have some fun. SAGE made being a 'Anon- traditionalw student a little easier and a lot more rewarding. lll
