How can a student best prepare to meet these requirements? What problems confront a young person entering this field today? These and many other important questions are discussed when the business minds of the student body get together at the meetings of Chi Beta Epsilon. This is Coker’s business fraternity, comprised of Business Education majors interested in new developments in the busi- ness world. Businessmen and teachers pf business education meet with the group to discuss these problems and to foster an interest and an | understanding of the business world. The club also makes tours of various industries related to their future careers. At the end of the year the members enjoy a farewell banquet at the Beacon. | Frances Whittle, President |

Want to be brought up to date on the world situation? Do you sometimes wonder just how much of a threat Com- munism is to the United States? Should certain books by ques- tionable authors be banned from our public libraries? For the answers to these and other questions related to world problems just ask an I. R. C. member. And what is I. R. C2 Why, that’s easy! “Realizing the seriousness of war and the necessity for that co-operation among nations which alone can make peace pos- sible, I do solemnly promise to study the relations among na- tions and to promote in myself and among others attitudes of sympathy and good will towards all the peoples of the world to the end that understanding may produce peace.” Round-table discussions, movies, and guest speakers on cur- rent international affairs are some of the ways in which I. R. C. seeks to further its aims. This winter Dr. Davidson, Lib Plow- den, Joyce Johnson, and Barbara Ward attended a general con- ference in Atlanta concerning foreign trade, problems in the | Middle East, and England’s changing role in world affairs. : I R.C. members have their fun, too, at those memorable steak picnic suppers at the college club! | The largest club at Coker, I. R. C. this year has the largest | membership in its campus history. This in itself shows the grow- ing student concern for this restless world. From this interest can develop our nation’s best citizens. :| Joyce Johnston, President RE a tanal lations Club FIRST ROW: Stogner, F. Rogers, L.
