The I.R.C. is aftiliated with the Association of International Relations Clubs. It was repre- sented by Michael Badu a't the New Africa Seminar held in Cleveland in December. Roberta Mohr and Judy Heckel attended the meeting ofthe Northern Ohio Collegiate Council on World Affairs in Cleveland on October 22.
