According to the BJC catalogue. Newman Club is a Catholic Club that fosters the spiritual. intellectual, and social inter- ests of the Catholic students of Broward Junior College. As a short and general definition of Newman. the above will suffice. but many people want to know exactly what Newman Club is. It is not only a service and social club. but also a religious club open to students of all faiths. The club has a chaplain. Father Martin Devereaux. and two faculty advisors. Miss Margaret Dunne and Mr. Neil Crispo. Newman members participate with the service and social clubs on campus in various activities throughout the year. Last spring Newman sponsored a book drive for the foundation of the children's library at the South Florida State Hospital. A plaque was given to the fraternity or sorority bringing in the most books. Through Newman leadership. over 3,000 books changed empty shelves into a library for the hospital's new pediatric ward, The project is to be repeated again this Jaiiuary. At this year's Fall Festival, Newman sponsored two projects, a hayride and a clean-up crew. Socially Newman competes with the various fraternities on campus at Sunday afternoon football games. Community activities also include tutoring the underprivileged. sponsor- ing picnics for the VISTA children, playing Santa Claus for the children at South Florida State Hospital, and clearing a playground for children. The playground, in the Southwest section of Ft. Lauderdale, is located adjacent to St. Jerome's Catholic Church and school. The motto of the Newman Club is COR AD COR LOQUITUR fl-leart speaks to heartj. which may be in effect an elaborate euphemism for the fundamental yet often neglected con- cept of Love. Like many social groups, members are often distracted from the manifest goal or function of the organization: however. it is our hope and our faith that the religious renewal born in ecumenism will enable the Newman Club to serve in the revival of living this basic Christian message.

German IFLO ist keine Arbeitergewerks- chaft noch ist es eine Agentur der Vereinigten Nationen. Bis vor einigen Jahren waren BJC Studenten, die sich fur fremde Sitten, Kultur, Lebenstil und Sprac- hen interessierten, Mitglieder des franzosischen, deutschen oder span- ischen Klubs. Dann mit Hilfe der Fremdsprachen Fakultat und Stu- denten verbanden sich die drei verschiedenen Klubs und bildeten die IFLO. Fruhere Programme schlossen ein: Fremdsprachige Filme mit englischen Untertiteln, interessante Redner, die in fremden Liindern lebten und sehr viel reisten, Abendessen in typischen franzosis- Chen, deutschen und spanischen Restaurants in und nahe von Fort Lauderdale, und die jiihrliche We- ihnachtsfeier mit internationaler Unterhaltung. Auf unserem Programm fur das Jahr 69-70 steht der Besuch vom Direktor des Dania Jai-alai palace. Mit Hilfe eines Spielers wird er dieses schnelle Spiel von Kraft und Geschicklichkeit erklaren. Ebenso steht ein Besuch zur Queen Elizabeth in Aussicht. Ein anderes Projekt ist in unserer BJC Cafeteria mit franzosischen, deutschen und spanischen Mahlzeiten. Hatten Sie jemals Sauerbraten, paella oder arrez con polle? IFLO ist fur alle Studenten offen, ob sie eine, zwei oder zehn Sprachen sprechen. Die einzige Forderung fiir die Mitgliedschaft ist ein aufrichtiges Interesse fiir Men- schen in anderen Landern. I.F.L.O. IFLO is not a labor uniong nor is it an agency of the United Nations.

President Ka Tresca and secrelary Nancy Matheson of Phi Theta l Kappa. Phi Theta Kappa looks really great at 2:00 in the morning, or any other time of day for that matter. The Mu Mu Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa is a branch of the Junior College National Honor Society. Sound impressive? It is. In order to become a member a student must rank within the top IOW of the student body. His scholarship is rewarded by being formally recognized at grad- uation, by receiving a gold seal on his diploma, and by receiving an official recommendation to his upper level university. BJC grants Phi Theta Kappans many honors. The club. in turn, performs many services for the college. During the almost impossible days of registration, Phi Theta Kappa members act as direct aides to the counselors. They suffer the headaches of sequence numbers and closed classes many times over. Phi Theta Kappa hosted the annual leadership conference held at the college in September. Members lead various seminar discussions in the problems of leadership today. The Thanksgiving Day Food Drive is the society's major project. A competition among the social and service clubs on campus is held. The organization collecting the most food for a needy family receives a plaque. Club members share the benefits of their studying with other BJC stu- dents. The club maintains a special tutoring service for any student having a rough time in his classes. Tutoring for almost any subject can be arranged through the counseling office. Phi Theta Kappa is a working organization. lts members work for themselves and for the school. But the organization doesn't work all the time. At the recent state convention held in West Palm Beach. members from BJC had a chance to meet Phi Theta Kappans from many of Florida's Junior Colleges. The gathering was a good one. A dance and several fun parties came with the business meet- ings. The worth of Phi Theta Kappa is in its members. The membership stan- dards are high but so are the rewards of being a Phi Theta Kappan. Kay Tersca is president. assisted by Beverly Buchanan. vice-president. Nancy Matheson. secretary. and Jamie Shirer. treasurer.
