mm aus Boom CLUBS fcontinuedj Die Froliche Runde- the merry circle The Behavioral Science Club also helps students with a scholar- ship offered to majors with a 3.5 overall grade average. This schol- arship is awarded students intend- ing to pursue upper division work in one of the behavioral sciences. To help aspiring writers, the Writers Club opens its member- ship to all students interested in writing for publication, whether fiction or non-fiction. Material may be submitted to the club for evaluation and group criticism. For members there is also the opportunity to hear from successful writers, editors and critics who lecture at the monthly meetings. The Writers Club provides help in the form of inspiration and en- couragement for aspiring writers. Said Mrs. Dorothy Portugal, club member, Coming into contact with people who do write makes the meetings stimulating and en- joyablef' Further help is given in the form of scholarships. Three S75 awards are made at the end of each school year to the authors of the three best short stories submitted. The recipients of the awards are free to use the money for addi- tional study wherever they choose. Another group, the Valley As- sociated Business Students, known as VABS, serves the student of business with an insight into busi- ness trends, opportunities and needs. The business world that the student will face upon graduation is outlined and profiled for the stu- dent through lectures. The German Club gives students an insight into German culture One of the most notable services of this group is that of providing speakers for the Occupation EX- ploration series, a service to the entire student body. We deal in the area of leader- ship as far as business is con- cerned, said Mark Mathews, as- sistant professor and one of the VABS advisers. Opportunities for leadership are afforded VABS club members, and field trips are part of the program set up to acquaint VABS with the careers toward which they are working. There are many clubs on Val- ley's campus from which a student may choose. Each club is active in a specific area of interest. And in each group the student is given the opportunity to help and to be helped.

CLUBS K continued j being used to assist out-of-country students who may need homework help because of a language problem or who need help in finding a place to live. The money is used also to provide sightseeing trips to show Southern California to the students from other lands. The Kozo Ura award is present- ed regularly by the International Club to the student who shows the most on-campus accomplish- ment. This award is set up to help a student defray college expenses. The Behavioral Science Club is another group offering service. De- voted to anthropology, psychology, philosophy and sociology, the club conducts a program of speakers, panels and round-table discussions as well as field trips for members. There are social events, too, and the opportunity for members to do volunteer work in local mental hospitals and child guidance cen- ters carries the influence of the club out into the community. Many students are active in the volunteer programs, said James Preston, club president. Most of our work is done at the Veterans' Hospital where students do many different things. Some may work with statistics and still others may work directly with the patients. l NOW ,S ffyflmrf sf35Z2 Mf 7 104141 5 ,f- rr-. pznies de-bo . -'0Oqm Bvgfis Jackie Nable, Joan Elmlinger, Tonya Gable, Dr. Aura-Lee Ageton, lclub sponsorl lfront rowl and David Kurtz, Rosalie Hughes, Charles Kinzek lsponsorl Don Ashbrook plan tutoring to build Les Savants-Tau Alpha Epsilon scholarship fund.

Looking for second title After coach Mark Mat- thews' Monarch tennis team posted a 17-1-1 record to fin- ish third in the state in 1961, possibilities for an encore seemed too much to be hoped for. Santa Monica, perenni- ally solid contenders for Metro Conference honors, couldn't let the Valley squad top them two years in a row. Early season results showed that Matthew's men have the potential to repeat as cham- pions of the conference, even though they lost spectacular Chuck Rombeau, state singles champion. Four returning lettermen, three fine fresh- men and the return of Al- phonse Suastegui from the ranks of the ineligible gave Valley fans high hopes for the '62 net season. 4 ,af rf. . , gzip 1, V ' YH ,. ,,.
