HNHM Sfvrcigu Kclativus gfllb Stresses Eitizcrz Jnvvlvemsut The Viet-Nam war, the anti-poverty pro- gram, civil rights, and world revolutions are typical topics discussed at the Foreign Relations Club meetings. In its second year of existence, the club, under the capable direction of Mr. Francis Garlicki, has already gained much public attention. This past year the PRC sent General Westmoreland a peti- tion stating that the school favored the U. S. government's position in Viet-Nam. A few weeks later the club received a reply from the general in which the school and the club were praised for their efforts by an article in the Detroit News. Although meetings are only once every three weeks, the members develop a better understanding of our nation's policies as well as those of other nations with the help of occasional talks given by guest lecturers from the diplomatic service and by readings, debates, and discussions. With such expe- rience, it is no wonder that the club is ready to send five delegations to represent foreign nations at the Model U.N. , a yearly three day session at the University of Detroit which helps acquaint students with the procedures of the United Nations. fl v'X Guest speaker, Mr. Wang, presents his opinion on the Asian situation at a special meeting of the F.R.

In keeping with this principle, the Vocation Club scheduled activities which coupled social and spiritual living. Among these were a Christmas party, a closed retreat, atrip to Walsh College, and a year-end picnic - each was heralded as an unprecedented success. Meetings were also conducted with this dual emphasis. The gatherings generally began with a short informal bull session, after which members said a decade of the rosary and held the meeting. Refreshments were served afterwards, and members enter- tained themselves with either a game of cards or bumper pool. This approach to vocations offers Cathedral students the opportunity to center their present and future about God.
