CLUBS Going into tiieir second year of publica- tion, Brad Hess, editor, and the rest of the MSA Literary Journal staff decided to im- prove the quality of their writing, illustra- tions, layouts, editing, and printing. To achieve this goal, the publication was re- duced to one journal which came out in the spring. Johnny Selvin, adviser, felt that a creative outlet would help to bring MSA students together and help to unify the sub- school as a whole. As a result of the strike, the Rally Com mittee ' s mone making activities were hin- dered. In spite of this, they manege- to gain momentum, recruit 30 members, and sell re- freshments at home football and basketball games. In addition to other activities, they made booster signs for opposing teams as well asBHS. This year, the Keys and Keyettes, service clubs sponsored by the Kiwannis Club of Ber- keley, merged to form one group. Their active year included taking blind children trick-or- treating, Christmas caroling at convalescent homes, and donating money to the Guatemal- en Relief Fund. The Keyettes also sponsored a child in the Foster Parents Plan. Social activities included basketball games with rival Key teams. The Keyettes made re- freshments and all had fun, in keeping with the Key tradition. ' iTfr-irr

aET SCIEN CE An ecology conscious Science Fiction cIuIj look camping trips to the desert and Sierras besides joining the U.C. Ecology class for field trips. At the Western Science Fiction conference held at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, the club showed up dressed as Alex Panasenko, adviser, and his droogs from the Clockwork Orange. MESA attracted some 50 minority students who are interested in pursuing careers in engineer- ing or science. The program, sponsored jomtly by Berkeley High and the University of California-Ber- keley Engineering, was financed through grants from industries and foundations. Students must carry at least one math, english, and science class. Murphy Taylor, counselor, worked with the University of California repre- sentative. Professor Wilbur Somerton, to provide special tutors to help the students maintain a 3.0 grade point average and receive a well earned S200 per semester. Last year the Science Botany Club worked hard to get money for their project. They gathered enough money to buy a glodesic dome greenhouse and chain- link fencing which now encloses the club ' s experimen- tal garden. This year the club members put up the greenhouse themselves and started the experimental garden. It is hoped that by fall of ' 76, Ms. Simpao will be able to offer a new course in the science department called Horticulture. Members met ot Tuesdays at 3:00. To date, members of the club are doing experiments with factors affecting plant growth, such as light and temperature differences. s (0 Activities - 2S
