United in IOC, the inter-organization of clubs at Valley, is a forum of the 54 approved campus organizations, bound together for one purpose-service to the school. Helping assist the clubs in promoting campus and social activities is Jan Yacobellis, IOC president and vice president of the Executive Council. Dr. Margaret Crawford, assistant dean of student activities, is faculty consultant for the IOC. For the first time in its 14-year history, IOC has made it mandatory for clubs to be represented at the meetings by their presidents. Formerly, clubs could be represented by any member. In explaining this point, Miss Yacobellis stated, Under our new system club presidents, who are best equipped to explain the problems and functions of their clubs, attend our meetings, and as a result, communica- tion between the IOC and club members has been improved considerably. The clubs work throughout the semester, trying to gain activity points which are credited towards the most Active Club on Campus trophy. The award is given on a point basis, with points being awarded for activities such as voting, Club Day and club attendance at school functions.

A semester studded with student activities was the result of the ef- forts of Commissioner Colleen Fer- guson. Dances, rallies, sports nights and assemblies were more numerous than ever, and a record number of students turned out for them, thanks to the careful planning of Miss Ferguson. Jan Yacobellis, student body vice president and IOC president, was responsible for the increased activity of clubs on campus during the fall semester. As vice president she suc- ceeded Jack Easton, who had started the renaissance of the inter-organi- zation forum. Capping an evening filled with iesting, President Easton presents Valley Star editor Marty Simons what appeared in all your columns -a stick of bologna.

purpose International Club president Mitch Robinson looks toward another member who has opened discussion. 57 IOC was set up mainly to bring about a closer relationship between campus clubs. Under the leadership of the presidents jack Easton and jan Yocabellis, IOC membership rose from six to 34 clubs. Presently under the guidance of Miss Yocabellis and her adviser, Dr. Margaret Crawford, the clubs are able to hash out problems in a discussion period conducted at 7 a.m. every Tuesday. Member clubs profit from the experiences of the other organizations. Discussion on the Hoor centers around club service to the school, where stiff competition is waged, with the Most Active Club on Campusv trophy as a prize. Before a club becomes a legal campus organization, it must submit a charter to IOC council, which must be voted upon in a Tuesday meeting. When the constitution is approved, the group is officially a Valley College club, and earns a seat on the IOC council. Dr. Margaret Crawford, assistant dean of student activities and a new addition to the administrative staff this year, is the IOC faculty consultant. ss. Q, , ' Qld J: - .
