NFCCS The inspiring ideas and contagious enthusiasm emanating from the XVII Na- tional Congress in Louisville, Kentucky, was the springboard from which the National Federation of Catholic College Students flourished during the '60-'61 school year on the lVlarycrest Campus. Active participation in the NF commissions, under guidance of competent chairmen and moderators, was at an all time high.'Through cooperation within these commissions our major project, HCatholic Responsibility in a Pluralistic Society was diligently undertaken and carried through. The Mardi Gras weekend in February, due to the unselfish support of the entire student body, was a tremendous success, the proceeds of which went toward NFCCS campus projects and the re-establishment of a Formosan Catholic University. Student interest in regional workshops and seminars was very much in evidence in the in- creased attendance at these meetings as the year progressed cliinaxed by the invig- orating Spring Congress at Loras College. These are only a few of the NF highlights which leave in our memories a feeling of deep satisfaction and accomplishment. Through discussion and activities resulting in genuine Catholic action, the Marycrest NF feels confident that it has taken great strides toward accomplishing its goal of developing competent Catholic laywomen.
