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 first meeting was to get acquainted with freshman soci majors and to introduce them to possible social work experiences through senior reports on their summer social work positions. The recording, Who Killed Michael Farmer, with the comments of Sister Theresa of Gannondale, guest speaker, provoked lively discussion on juvenile delinquency. To acquaint every Mercyhurst student with the latest papal en- cyclical, Mater et Magistra, the seminar presented two symposiums on the principles and scope of the encyc- lical. FIRST ROW: B.

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.

.nw , 'ti 0 Pff Art Club The aim of the Art Club is to promote a more active and professional interest in art. In order to develop a keener appreciation of great art, the club's activities have included held trips to art exhibits in the surrounding area. Visits to the International Exhibit in Pittsburgh and the sight of Van Gogh originals in the Cleveland Art Museum enkindled deep admiration in the aspir- ing artists. Club members demonstrated some of their art- istic techniques at the Erie Art Teachers, Confer- ence. They also served as hostesses to the art teachers and their pupils at the Art Department's Open House. The Club's activities were climaxed in April with its annual art show at the Erie Art Museum.
