CLUB OFFICERS, M. Fiedler, C. problems. I. R. C. The International Relations Club was instrumental in keeping the college informed of current develop- ments in the world situation. Mr. Sabatine, club mod- erator and avid political scientist, and club odicers were the forces behind Mercyhurst's spirited interest in international politics. At weekly informal meetings a current controversial topic was announced and from that point, high-spirited discussion raged rampant. Monthly meetings were reserved for distinguished speakers. Dr. Diaz, former personal physician of Fidel Castro, gave insight into the nature of the dictator, his planning, and his regime. Carolyn Anderson, Mercy- hurst Junior who spent her summer in Peru, ac- quainted those present with the Latin American situa- tion and its peoples' problems. Judith Carlow, a Mer- cyhurst Alumna informed the club of an American movement to combat Communism. IRC MEMBERS find time to discuss current events over the lunch table. Siegel and D.

tiff? THE BEST discussion comes after the seminar as E. Filicky, E. Christy and R. Gazarik rehash the delin- quency problem. The Sociology Seminar has helped sociology students gain a more comprehensive knowledge and understand- ing of their field.

The recording, Who Killed Michael Farmer, with the comments of Sister Theresa of Gannondale, guest speaker, provoked lively discussion on juvenile delinquency.
