English Club balks at name change; spurs interest with field trip, play After several weeks of indecision, the English Club dropped the idea of giving its organization a literary name. Sym- posium and Purple Patch were the two names most considered. The English Club increased its member- ship to 40. The purpose of the Club was to interest non-majors by having activi- ties and meetings not necessarily asso- ciated with English, but which were of general interest. Club activities included a tour to the Gospel Publishing House and a Christ- mas party. Some members attended the dramatic production, Shepherd of the Him. The officers were Sharon Westberg, presi- dent; Naomi Dear, vice-president; and Melinda Boyies, secretary-treasurer. Sandra Vekasy, English instructor, was the club sponsor.

114 Foreign students promote cultural understanding EC Dem's grow; Thomas leads This year 40 students showed their in- terest in political activities of the Demo- cratic Party by joining the Young Demo- crats. In connection with the November elec- tions of state candidates, the Young Democrats debated important political issues with the Young Republicans. The executive and editorial committees of the Young Democrats published a monthly journal to promote the ideals of the Democratic Party and to stimulate an intellectual growth and an awareness of issues among students. It included re- ligious, philosophical, social, and cul- tural items, and miscellaneous news. This year's officers were Gordy Thomas, junior, president; Paul Wannenmacher, junior, vice-president; and Bonnie John- son, sophomore, secretary. Donald Baldwin, assistant professor of Biblical studies and philosophy, served as sponsor of the club. Fellowship and cultural discussions were enjoyed by the 20 members of the inter- national Students Organization. The club was formed in November to promote a better understanding of the people, culture, and history of the coun- tries represented in the club membership. Social meetings were held every month in faculty homes. Officers of the international Students Organization were: senior Douglas Cho, president; senior Steve Ramlal, vice- president; freshman Ruth Schoonmak- er, secretary-treasurer; freshman Eric Ng, public relations; and Emerald Wray, assistant professor of education and psy- chology, adviser.
