Learning traditions bonds Indian Club members Indian Club members are bonded by their desire to learn the Ways of their traditions and cultures. Members represent many tribes from all over the United States. They bring to Bacone customs and ideas from the four winds. Members care and respect enough to preserve and restore their cultures, which have been passed down from generation to generation. The club has participated in many pow wows hosted by other college's Indian clubs and by local Indian organizations. The Indian club's dance troupe performed at the Muskogee Indian Summer Festival, and at area schools. Fund-raising projects, which included a bean luncheon and a one-day benefit pow wow, were held to finance the annual Spring Pow Wow.

Publications Club: Staffs burn Midnight Oil Campus security learned early this year not to worry if there were lights burning after mid- night in the north end of Barnett Hall, because it was due to Publications Club members strug- gling with another deadline. There was always a deadline if not on the yearbook, then on The Baconian, or a sports program. The mastheads of both the campus paper and the yearbook were filled with new names, and the first semester was one long on the job train- ing session for rookie reporters and editors. The Publications Club also functioned as a social group sponsoring dances, the Warrior Princess contest, and other activities. Fund- raisers were held to help pay off a budget deficit in the yearbook fund. The 1981-82 year was a learning time for the Publications staffs, but the lessons learned should pay off next year.
