One of the nerve centers of cam- pus activities is the Inter-Organiza- tion Council QIOCQ, which func- tions as if it were the brain in a body of muscles composed of clubs and organizations. The brain, QIOCQ, coordinates the muscles fclubs and organiza- tionsj, each of which does its part to benefit Club Day. Members of IOC consist of presidents or repre- sentatives of the various clubs, who may be likened to nerve impulses. These IOC members transmit the ideas of the brain QIOCJ to the muscles fthe member's respective club or organizationj. IOC, which is headed by the vice president of the Associated Student Body and advised by the assistant dean of student activities, promotes the cultural and recreational inte- gration of campus organizations. It also makes available to as many stu- dents as possible the advantage of organization or club membership. One of the top organizations on campus is the Valley Collegiate Players, an honorary society of theater arts. In order to be a mem- ber of this honor society, a student must have had roles in three or more college dramatic productions and have attained excellence in per- formance. Adviser for the Valley Collegiate Players is Patrick Riley. Jan Yacobellis, IOC chairman, converses with exhibit iudge Dr. Arnold Fletcher on Club Day.

Service for progress Enthusiastic leadership and plan- ning made Valley College's 27th semi-annual Club Day the great success it was. Careful planning by the Inter- Organization Council, IOC, led by Jan Yacobellis, was directly respon- sible for the biggest and best Club Day in Valley history. Attendance records were smashed as more than 3,000 students were on hand for the festivities. Many participating clubs were snowed with new pledges as competition for display honors among the clubs was at its peak. What is Club Day? Shortly after each semester has begun, Valley College students have a chance to see what the different clubs on campus have to offer. Those stu- dents who are eligible to join the club may do so if they desire. One day is set aside every semester for this purpose and Valley calls it Club Day. Club Day is a campaign. Booths are erected, and the clubs display their respective activities, hoping to induce onlookers to join. Some clubs can be found serving refresh- ments in an attempt to lure new memberships. The results of the clubs' efforts were gratifying this semester as most of the clubs participating were swamped with sign-ups. Traditionally, honors are be- stowed on the clubs with the best display. This semester the Sports Car Club, with its professional type racing car display, and the Valley Collegiate Players, who featured their rendition of the Roaring Twenties, tied for first place as both clubs tallied 65 points in the judging. The Valley Techs Club and the International Club made competi- tion even more interesting as each was awarded 64 points, resulting in a tie for second place. Other clubs which did well in the judging were the Coronets, which placed third, and the Art Club, which garnered fourth place honors. The German Club and the Young Republicans received honorary mention. On-campus clubs, which supply much of the social media for Val- ley, are also most always educa- tional. The 31 clubs and 8 honor societies provide a wide variety of interests and activities available to the students, giving nearly every student at Valley an opportunity to find a club which appeals to his needs or desires. 2 X
