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: - .

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.

Club Presidents and sponsors get together at the first IOC sponsors luncheon held in the cafeteria 'fu- ., Ns -14' Miss Yacobellis presents a birthday cake to Owen Fraser, sponsor of the International Club, on the club's first anniversary. My il wr' All 70 of the campus club presidents and sponsors gathered at the semi-annual IOC banquet held last fall to help bring about a closer relationship between the sponsors and presidents. The banquet was held in the cafeteria and was ar- ranged by president Yacobellis and IOC vice president Dave Darvis, president of the Knights. The main objective of the banquet was to give Miss Yacobellis a chance to inform the presidents and spon- sors of the semester goals of IOC. The banquet afforded the first opportunity for the presidents and the sponsors to gather on a social basis. One highlight of the banquet was the presentation of a birthday cake to Owen Fraser, sponsor of the In- ternational Club, celebrating the club's first anniversary. IOC has sponsored many activities which give the clubs an opportunity to work together for the school. One event was the Freshman Welcome Barbecue, for which each club worked in some way to make the barbecue a success. Representatives worked as hostesses and hosts, others cooked and still other club members cleaned the bar- becue pits. The success of the barbecue is just one example of how IOC has brought the clubs on campus closer together-with the big winner being the campus itself.
