As a commission of S.C.A. its concern is to provide recreation that is wholesome and Christian. Among the year's activities were bowl- ing parties, swimming parties, a hayride and steak fry, 'Folk games, roller skating, theater parties, games nights in Founders Hall, a Hal- loween party, and a Valentine party. Traditional events of the social year-the Spring Banquet, Sadie Hawkins Day, the all- college picnic, Migration Day, and Leap Week- were also planned by the Recreation Club. The olticers and advisors of the club also serve with representatives from Student Council on the college recreation committee, which meets weekly to coordinate the total campus recreation program. One of the proiects was supervising Saturday afternoon recreation in Founders Hall. A special event of the year was the church recreation leader's workshop on February 13, led by Miss Shellenberger and two guests, Jerry Elliott and Bob Tully, from Indiana University. D. Bower, P.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The International Relations Club is not an organization to solve the world's problems, but to understand them. This is accomplished through discussions of current events, opportu- nities for pen-pals in other countries, participa- tion in conferences, and special talks by B.C.'s foreign students. 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. Some of the maior activities of the I.R.C. this year were a cookie sale, a collection of 373 pounds of books for Hue University in Vietnam, and a Halloween party, co-sponsored with the Recreation and Investment Clubs.

One group sought ways to help in the state campaign to abolish capital punishment, another one publicized current peace issues on the Concern bulletin board in the library. The race relations committee took surveys in Bluffton on racial discrimination and preiudice. A group wrote to possible presidential candidates for their views on peace questions. The remaining two groups planned for the peace conference and the peace play. Which Way the Wind?, a new play from the American Friends Service Committee, was co- sponsored by Peace Club and the college drama department as the spring traveling play. Through the Intercollegiate Peace Fellowship of Mennonite and Affiliated Colleges the club has valuable contact with other peace groups. The climax of the year was the 1960 l.P.E. Con- ference an B.C. campus on March 31-April 2. This brought to the campus such outstanding leaders as John Howard Yoder from Goshen, Lt. General Lewis B. Hershey, National Director of the Selec- tive Service system, Stewart Meacham of the American Friends Service Committee, and Dwight Wiebe of Mennonite Central Committee, as well as delegates from seven colleges. The conference centered on the topic The Christian Witness against Militarism and War. STANDING: R. Grotsky, N. Yoder, M. Rich, A. Kreider, M. Lee, R. Yoder, L. Geissinger, S. Brown, V. Hardesty, I.
