KOREAN STUDENT ASSOCIATION The Korean Student Association was registered as an active F.I.T. organization last Fall quarter. Our advisor, Professor is Dr. Junho Choi, he is a little giant. : We are composed of thirty-eight members at the present time. Of those Korean students who have graduated from F.I.T. some have returned to Korea and received high positions in companies and the government. Others continue to study advanced courses in many different universities across the U.S.A. We are very proud of them! We hope to organize an F.1.T. Alumni Association in Korea at the end of this year. Our purposes are to create strong relations and ‘friendships with F.I.T., and also to aid and create a bond among international students.

=e as The Medieval Eating and Drinking, or MEAD, Society is one of the newest organizations at F.I.T., having been founded during the last few weeks of the Spring, 1982 quarter. Wa are not a “Dungeons and Dragons” game club, but rather a society seeking to re-create the flavor of the Middle Ages through a variety of activities including feasts, fairs, and mock combat with padded weapons. Our member- ship is presently around thirty, and we hope to increase this to seventy or more so that we can organize reenactment of medieval battles. We have instituted an underlying medieval social structure that goes into effect at activities such as feasts and battles. Each member of the Society creates a “character” or personality which he assumes durin MEAD functions, and can run the gamut from knights and ladies-in- waiting to Viking and Samurai warriors and serving wenches. These characters are ruled by a king who is chosen from them through a series of trials of skill, intelligence, and bravery. Although all char- acters must play final homage to the king, they are free to struggle for power amongst themselves, setting the stage for single combat or pitched battles. There are few limitations on characters, as long as they can somehow fit into the social structure, and even females can become warriors and take part in combat if they wish. MEDIEVAL EATING AND.
