WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE The Ways and Means Committee is the sounding board for students to show their views to the school. It was formed to answer the student needs which are outside of the present curriculum. I think it's a very good set-up for everyone in this school. Do you think that the Ways and Means Committee has been effective this year? I think it has. From my standpoint, it has helped me to understand the stu- dents' viewpoints. Yes, in the sense that now the students have a place where they can take their views to be publicized. No, I don't because of a great lack of student interest, and we are to re- spond to their interest. I think that the members are all very qualified, and they have proved to be very objective and open-minded, which includes the teachers on the commit- tee, too. I think that in the future this system should continue, but there should be better communication. Instead of having the minutes put on a bulletin board, there should be announcements about the activities of the committee once a week? 29

STUDENTS .ON POLLUTION What are the goals and purposes of SOP? I think the purpose is just to cut down on pollution and to make the citizens aware of the problem. The only goal I see in it is for people to do something crea- tive and helpful, while at the same time, have some fun. How successful do you feel SOP has been in attaining this goal? We have saved papers from being destroyed, and we have gotten the City of Glendale to organize their own paper drive. I do not think that collecting papers is going to solve the pollution problem. I think it's one big waste of time. Yes, I deeply believe that SOP has been a large success. Because of us, people save their papers and wait for us to collect them. We have also gotten help from many of the elementary schoolsf' ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB How was Environmental Club formed? It was formed as a result of Earth Day - April 22nd. Most of the members also belong to Zero Population Growth QZPGDY' What have you tried to accomplish in Environmental Club? We have tried to educate people on problems of overpopu- lation and environmental degradation. We are going to have a presentation for an ICS class on overpopulation because the basic purpose of ZPG in the high schools is to educatef, We had a coup d,etatg the secretary overthrew the president. Do you think that Environmental Club will exist in future years at Nicolet? We hope so. wi. Ron Marcus and Dave Pittlekow took paper off a truck so that they could loud it into the baler. Marc Marcus worked late into the night pack- aging papers at the Peter Stormonth School.

Jeff Smith, Chairman of the Young Republicans Club, passed out political literature to Vice Chairman Mike Reck, Linda Siebecker, Mary Wer- hane and Treasurer Tom Wendle for leaflets that the club was preparing. Nancy North, Susie Mottram, Walter Jenkins and Marc Marcus, along with Linda Flowers and Perry Granof, who were not pictured, organized Nicolet's chapter of the Young Democrats Club. nd, YOUNG REPUBLICANS CLUB Our most important objective is to educate kids in the principles of the Republican party and general political philosophies. We try to promote good government, instill a sense of ob- ligation to the state and the community. When there is an election, Young Republicans canvas and distribute leaflets working for the local Republican groups. Lately there has been a general feeling of apathyg this has cut down our attendance at meetings. YOUNG DEMGCRATS CLUB We are a youth organization trying to promote political education and awareness to the high school and college students. We are having a state convention in April where we will elect the executive board and will form our platform and ratify our constitution. At the last election, we worked for candidates - Prox- mire, Lucey and mostly Tabakf' We are expanding to Nicolet because we are trying to en- large the membership. You don't necessarily have to agree with the ideas of the Democratic party because we are involved in social activi- ties to improve the social conditions of the state. We have a project tutoring kids from community schools. 5 .VL ,. 'X J v Isa 30
