Members enjoy tacos at Christmas fiesta Lots and lots of tacos could be the only words used to describe the Spanish Club Christmas party at the home of a club member, December 19. Spanish music and games en- hanced the atmosphere of the fiesta. Basketball homecoming provided an opportunity for the club to expand its treasury when members teamed to manage the concession stand. Under Indiana University ' s Honors Program, senior Spanish club mem- ber Marcia Rodich experienced two months of the “real thing” during the 1970 summer while living with a Mexican family in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Exclusive use of Spanish marked the main objective of the program. Senor Neff served his nineteenth year as sponsor of the club.
