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.

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

By Elaine Nevelow Illustrated by Robert Lachman Amid the vast expanse of silvery whiteness, the determined man stood alone, poised at the top of the world. As a result of last night's violent snow storm, a thick carpet of new dry powder snow lay gently on the ground, still untouched by man or ski. It was early, the ancient sun had not yet stretched out to span the horizon. There would never be a better time than now to make the jump. The only sounds he heard as he started down the run were the whistling of the wind, and the faint sh-sh-sh of the skiis as they glided swiftly over the velvet plushness of the frosty white snow. It was almost as if he were flying. The man and skiis were bonded together as one, and like a speeding bullet he rushed toward the target-The Cornus. The skiis longingly, desperately reached out to grasp their goal, the next instant and it would be theirs. Coming off the jump he soared upward with skiis and body in perfect parallel alignment, winging his way to another world. A sensitive, and at the same instant, exciting world, vibrant and alive. The world from which he had come was deadened by its harsh gray coldness and the tastlessness of its life. But he had escaped that world, if only momentarily, and ventured into this one-an exhilarating, beautiful, and highly sensitive place. He leaned forward, allowing the skiis to flyback, and stretched out his arms like a bird spreading its wings. The tips of the skiis were pointed toward the stars, and he toward earth. Neither was bound for heaven nor earth, both were in limbo, a place where time stands still. Below him the sun was just coming up over the rugged snow- capped mountains. lt peeked through the trees and bent down to gently caress the silky white virgin snow, which glistened like spun sugar under its adornment. Nothing but the brilliant blue sky surrounded him, and the little puffy white clouds floating in it. The crisp early morning air interwoven into the tantalizing scent of the pine trees and the fresh snow drifted up to him, filling his nostrils with tingling excitement. A sudden surge of exhilaration shot through his body, he could hear his heart pounding and the bloodicoursing through his veins. He was free . . . freer than he could ever have hoped to be. And he was alive . . f really alive . . . for the first time in his entire existence. He was coming out of his somersault now, and back into parallel alignment with his skiis. What had seemed like an eternity was merely seconds, for he was now descending rapidly toward earth. Some stout-hearty skiers wre willing to weather a snow blizzard in order to enjoy the benefits of Alta's excellent slopes. ..,-..
