for Animals is the only club on any campus in the United States with the full- time devotion to the welfare of animals. Another inspiring group was Bruce Creager's Ski Lions and their stunning demonstration of skiing techniques on dry land, Creager said that alot of students are hesitant to join because they feel that they do not know enough about the sport. Actually, the majority of our people are beginners, said Creager. An exhibit that proved dangerous, but only to its operators, was the journalism club's dart-throwing booth. jim Wenck, member of the Beta Phi Gamma chapter, said that it was fun but added, at times it was dangerous. Some darts just missed me! In keeping with the theme of the day, targets of the darts were Communist symbols, reminiscent of the days of Sena- tor joe McCarthy. Some clubs, however, have no link with the '50's. One such is the Newman Club. Ronny Smith, club president, explained that the purpose of the club is service through unity. Our club is Catholic in orientation, but members of all faiths are welcome, Pat Herrick, club member ,L 1 r.

Ami Gordon, commissioner ol Jewish Ethnic Studies, munches heartily on his falalel in front of - -f the Hillel Council's booth.

The Newman Club, rather than capturing the past, stayed involved in the present and provided free refreshments to those interested in finding out about their various community projects. One of our most successful projects, Smith added, is the newspaper reclamation and re- cycling bin at the north end of the campus. A timely group now, but hardly 20 years ago, is The Women's Collective under the leadership of Helen Lemoine. Their link to the '50's was in the sale of such domestic items as potholders. We can show in this way that a woman's duties are no longer servitude, said chairperson Lemoine, adding, The domestic arts are truly an art and we are proud of our abilities. Also timely to the social awareness of this day was Emilio Franco's Latin Ameri- can Students Organization and their demonstration of the arts, crafts, and music of the various Latin American cul- tures. The ethnic group was responsible for a fund-raising drive to meet scholar- ship needs of Latin American students. And so it was that Club Day '74 took place this spring. An afternoon to remem- ber for nostalgia as well as the present. Some clubs are for recreation, some for community service, and others are for the development of the members' career goals. But all are for the thousands of students, who on that day may have found them- selves in the teamwork of their friends. 27

Peggy Frank, president of Valley's honor society, Tau Alpha Epsilon, offers the touch ot her lips tor four bits. TAE, needless to say finished Club Day much wealthier. fdlgwlf BSU displayed many types of cultural dances in front ot their booth at Club Day. By David Thatcher Noah's ark seemed to be unloading near the flagpole. Skiers moved about the lawn as if it were snow. Students gathered around a booth to look up their teachers' photos in ancient issues of Crown. Scenes such as these were not uncom- mon that spring afternoon called Club Day '74. The theme of the event was the '50's,f' inspired by the current wave of nostalgia, and the various campus organizations captured the spirit of the era admirably. Booths devoted to this period ranged from a malt shop to a spirited dart-throwing competition. Renee Stonehocker, president of Stu- dent California Teachers Association, out- fitted her members with straw hats, varsity sweaters, and other reminiscent items as they mixed a type of soda meant to remind us of Ozzie and Harriet. From this point the eye naturally stopped at the man approaching with the boa constrictor wrapped around his waist. None other than the 62-year-old naturalist Gypsy Boots, working with Larry Frazin's Students for Animals, proved to the crowd that a snake need not always be feared. Students for Animals sponsor Richard Zucker emphasizes the great deal of plan- ning that must go into one of their productions. Any group could put together the planning of most of these booths, ex- plained Zucker, but the number of peo- ple necessary to successfully and safely present our animal projects is seldom known. Zucker and Frazin were largely responsible for their unique club's award of the most unusual presentation two semesters ago. As they explain, Students
