Patrick McCarthy With No Set Major Pre-Law Club Goes It Alone re-Law Club is an organization whose objectives are to provide information for prelaw students and the opportunity for pre law students to socialize with others This is important to the campus since Purdue lacks a prelaw major that students can declare. People interested in pre law do not have a chance to meet each other; many different majors are considered to be pre law For example, the polyscience majors and some engineer majors may be looking towards law school. Projects that bring these students together are their fund raising events at the Feast of the Hunter's Moon. The group has their own booth, a saukeraut with other meat delacacies. Another project is a trip to Chicago to the Law School Forum where 50 different law schools begin recruiting; they each display information about their law school and what they specialize in. Applications for each school are also available. The Law School Forum may help a pre law student make the right decision concerning which school to attend according to their interests. In addition to the Feast of the Hunter's Moon and the trip to Chicago, the Pre law Club holds regular meetings with guest speakers, attorneys, prosecutors, and justices, a law school application workshop. and they sponsor a coarse for the LSAT Some new projects that the Club is working on for the future are that they are trying to develop scholarships for students entering law school, and they are developing an advice booklet stating how to apply to law school With its members and officiers. Pre law Club is a new and growing club that seems to be developing for the needs of pre law students The president of the Club. Rosie Orne- las. is very optimistic in view of what Pre law Club has accomplished since its existance. Truly, it has made more information available to pre law students.and it's a good way to meet the students in prelaw. since there is no pre law major. In view of her experience with the club, she adds. I've met many people who are interested in the same career only different aspects. by Stephanie Brust

Reaching the Top SWE Stays Close to Members The Society of Women Engineers at Purdue University used the many talents of its 587 members during 1986-87 to have a successful year. This Society is an organization that presents two challenges to its members: to involve members in leadership and participation roles of their choice and to retain the benefits of small group interaction. SWE does not only focus on its activities as a college group, but also reaches out to high school students through slide show presentations and Fall and Spring Career Days at Purdue. Activities for engineering students include softball tournament and study breaks. Members of SWE can also partake in a fall picnic and Christmas carolling at a local healthcare center Engineering students can gain knowledge about various companies and career opportunities through industry forums that are sponsored by SWE; resume brochures are also published and sold to the industry. Purdue SWE is a society that is concerned for the wellbeing of its members throughout their college experience. Many forums of aid are offered to its members that enable them to reach their greatest potential while in school and after graduation. by Ann Romeo FRONT ROW Andrea Braun. Ann Rowe.

Cinnamon Lane Informing Activities SAC Promotes Campus and Alumni Involvement With all the organizations on campus numbering in the hundreds, many feel isolated or would like to know more about other activities. It sounds like a difficult job. but one organization tries its best to unite or at least inform other activities. The Student Alumni Coalition strives to promote the relationship between the students and all the other organizations. This is achieved through the annual Call-Out Calendar and through a newsletter distributed to the presidents of all the organizations; both sponsored by the Stu- dent Alumni Coalition. Another function of this organization is the Extern Program which is where students get work experience over Spring Break through the help of alumni This past year, the program was awarded the Case Gold Medal Award sponsored by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education. It was an honor appreciated by the members of the Student Alumni Coalition because it signifies the hard work and time they volunteered to keep a strong relationship between students, organizations, and alumni, by Ann Romeo FIRST RON Tracey Byron.

Susan Uty Someone Special PFSB Liason With Alumni The Purdue Foundation Student Board is a multi-faceted organization. Much of what the organization does involves fund raising and supportive public relations activities There are four major program areas that PFSB is involved with: Parents Weekend, Phone-a-thon. President Council, and John Purdue Club. Through these activities, the PFSB creates a greater student awareness and participation. Parents Weekend is sponsored by the PFSB in conjunc- tion with the University Development Office. The Phone-a-thon is an annual event. Money was raised for the President's Unrestricted Fund so that he may better serve the students. The PFSB President s Council hosting area is a particularly rewarding facet of the Board's activities. They greet alums at President's Council pre-game luncheons, events at Westwood, the residence of President and Mrs. Beering, and larger President Council events. The highlight of the year was welcoming President Ronald Reagan to our campus in April. The John Purdue Club hosting area is responsible for hosting in the Buchanan Club area at all home football games, as well as hosting in the VIP room during the home basketball games. PFSB members have the opportunity to meet alumni and other distinguished members of the Purdue family. by Kathy Koon 350 Purdue Foundation Student Board
