ASSEMBLAGE ART CLUB As well as providing an open workshop conducted informally to bet- ter acquaint its members with art media techniques, the Assemblage Art Club works to stimulate professional growth and keep abreast of new de- velopments in art education by means of lectures, field trips, discussions exhibitions, art fairs, and art conventions. In addition, the Assemblage Art Club provides opportunities for all persons interested in art education to meet professionally and socially.

They can be found at almost any type of school event from pep rallies to graduations. In addition, they can be heard twice a year during their own concerts. But by far, the most ex- citing happening within the band is their annual tour. This year it led them to Wisconsin and a whole series of schools and concerts.

'  « ' «■ BUGG HOUSE SQUARE SQUAPfc An open forum for the discussion of provocative ideas and programs, Bugg House Square meets each Wednesday for weekly sessions, in which student, faculty, and administration take an active part. Con- troversial subjects such as the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Cuban situation, controversial guest speakers such as Abby Hoffman, and controversial issues such as the Stern-Law- rence debates were among the areas cov- ered. Sponsored by Dean Pitts with Rico Rotta (Chairman) and Abby Rosen (Secre- tary), the Bugg House Square Committee worked over the past year in planning panel discussions, hootenannies, and dances. 91 The Chamber Orchestra consists of a rapidly expanding group of music lovers from every department at Northeastern.

I Designed not only for chemistry majors but all science-oriented stu- dents, the Chemistry Club seeks to provide motivation and activities in the field of chemistry. Sponsored by Dr. Poskozim, it has three main aims. First, it gives its members an opportunity to prepare for their futures by talking with work- ing scientists. Also, through guest lecturers, movies, seminars, and tours, the student remains up-to-date with the current scientific discoveries. Second, the club attempts to plan activities that will be of service to the school, to the community, and to the other institutions. Third, the Chem- istry Club promotes social activities for the enjoyment of club members.

During the winter trimester Forensics Union members have repre- sented NISC in debate tournaments at Illinois State University, Wisconsin State University, Loyola University, Wayne State University, Brooklyn College, and the University of Massachusetts. Any undergraduate student may participate in debate. Research fa- cilities and practice room for forensics is located in E-20. The debate squad is coached by Miss George Foster.

Programs such as the riot report, (Paris 1968: Riot or Revolution?), films, slides, singing, guest speakers, a skit contest, and the French Club banquet (le Casse-Croute), actively involve the student in the ways and ideas that make up French culture while encouraging him to express him- self in French. For the future French teacher, programs such as But Why French? present information concerning the professional organizations which are open to him. The French Club tutoring program serves the twofold purpose of helping the beginner in French and providing the future French teacher with opportunities to become acquainted with the methods and problems involved in language learning. The French Club also joins the other foreign language clubs on cam- pus for such activities as the Foreign Language Clubs ' Picnic and the For- eign Language Clubs ' Christmas Party. 98 GADFLY COMMITTEE The Gadfly Committee is an officially constituted committee of Northeastern Illinois State College.

GEOGRAPHY CLUB First formed on January 30, 1964, the Geography Club works to ac- quaint students interested in geography with events and problems occur- ring on the world scene in the realm of geography. Mainly concerned with arranging field trips to places of interest, the Geography Club has visited the Kettle Morraine in Wisconsin, the U. S. Steel Mill, a Milwaukee brewery and a cheese factory. Future outings in- clude plans for a weekend in the Ozarks, The Wisconsin Dells, or Porcu- pine Mountains. In addition to these tours, the members attend monthly dinners at restaurants specializing in foreign cuisine. Sponsored by Mr. Robert Easton, the Geography Club attempts to have at least one short trip per trimester, a weekend trip for the spring, as well as the monthly dinners. 100 While promoting educational, cultural, and social activities which make it possible for students to improve their efficiency in the German language, the German Club provides opportunities for personal contact between the students and people of German-speaking countries. Besides these activities, the organization also aides the future German teacher by providing programs and information of special interest to him. During the course of the year, the German Club, sponsored by Mrs. Frederike Wiedemann, holds an occasional ' singkreis ' (a German Hoote- nanny). In addition, the members attend various German plays and mov- ies. At the present time, the club is in the midst of plans for a trip to Germany.

Zierk, Linda McLaughlin (President), Janice Breitsameter (Vice-President), Originating in the Fall of 1968, the Women ' s Gymnastic Club pro- vides an opportunity for women to learn about and compete in gymnastic competitions. Having only completed the DGWS (Division of Girls ' and Womens ' Sports) Compulsory Routines, the members nonetheless have attended three meets this year. At the First meet at Wheaton College, the club took three first places, one secon d, and four third places. The second meet, the Northern Sectional Gymnastics Meet, held at Concordia Col- lege, resulted in a first place and a third for the team scores. The final and annual meet which was the State Compulsory Meet, took place at Il- linois State University in Normal. As these scores show, the Gymnastic Club, with the guidance of their sponsor, Miss Betty Meyers, has exhibited great skill. Plans for the next year include the formation of a Women ' s Gymnastics Team from members in the Gymnastics Club. This would enable the women to host their own events and compete in optional as well as compulsory routines.

HISTORY CLUB For those students who are interested in history, the History Club provides the opportunity to attend lectures and participate in discussions and debates with guest speakers on various historical issues. Dr. June Sochen and Mr. Charles Barber serve as consultants for the History Club. HUMAN CAUCUS The Human Caucus consists of people from all strata of college life at Northeastern who are interested in change whenever change is necessary. The group ' s approach to change is guided by reason and human dignity; they plan to work within the existing power structure — its offices, councils, com- mittees, and departments. In their dealings they, as human beings, attempt to confront others as human beings. They have been described and some- times laughingly so, as idealists. However, while the members admit to being idealists, they describe their work as idealism in ac- tion. Motto: There is nothing wrong with human nature that a little involvement will not cure.

INTERPRETER ' S THEATRE Row 1 (Seated): Elaine Sohn (Secretary), Edward Szydlik (Vice-President), Kathy Nobilio (President), Ellen James (Production Secretary), Marcy Mark (Activities Council Representative). Row 2 (Standing): Arlene Jarzab, Kenneth James, Patti Miceli, Richard Jonasson, Robert Piasecki (Production Co-ordinator). Reactivated in September of 1966, Interpreter ' s Theatre aims to give every member an opportunity to gain confidence in public speaking through interpretive programs for the college community. Membership is open to anyone on campus who is willing to work and contribute to Interpreter ' s Theatre. Those with an interest in acting, writing, or directing are especially urged to employ their talents and join this group. Comedy through tragedy is the range for shows, plays, and readings sponsored by the organization for all to enjoy. The following productions were presented by Interpreter ' s Theatre in 1969: Frank Galati Reading Hour, Hayfever, Style Workshop, and Faculty Recital N.I.S.C. 105 K.L.A.L. Having felt a need for a Jewish organization on campus, a group of students organized KLAL in September of 1968. KLAL, through social and cultural programs — such as social get-to- gethers and stimulating lectures and discussions, seeks to awaken and strengthen each member ' s personal awareness and identification with Jewish life. Throughout this past year, KLAL has sponsored weekly talk-ins where students as a group worked out their mutual Hang-ups on all as- pects of Judaism.

Feeling that many of the difficulties which are encountered during freshman year are due to lack of knowl- edge of college procedure, the Mentors hold weekly orientation sessions with small groups of first-trimester students. During these meetings the students discuss the problems they are facing and each of the Mentors, with his own individual group, tries to aid the new collegians. The first few months of college life can be bewildering and the Men- tors have succeeded in alleviating much of the strain and have left the freshmen better prepared to handle the various complications that may arise during their future trimesters at Northeastern.

The Northeastern Bull, run by Larry Spaeth, comes out weekly on Fridays, with the deadline for receipt of announcements having to be submitted no later than noon on the previous Monday.

PSI CHI HONOR SOCIETY Psi Chi, The National Honor Society in Psychology, is an affiliate of the American Psychological Association and is a member of the Associa- tion of College Honor Societies. The purpose of Psi Chi is to advance the science of psychology, and to encourage, stimulate, and maintain scholar- ship of the individual members. Founded in New Haven, Connecticut in September, 1929, Psi Chi serves two major goals — one immediate and visibly rewarding to the individual member; the other slower and more dif- ficult to accomplish, but offering greater rewards in the long run. The first of these is the Society ' s obligation to provide academic prestige to its ini- tiates by the mere fact of membership, the Psi Chi membership card and key are badges of merit attesting to the member ' s ability. The second is the obligation of each local chapter to nurture the spark of that ability by offering a climate congenial to its creative development.

Two of the main motives in organizing the group were a need for fel- lowship for the older student and an information channel geared to this student. At present, there are about sixty dues-paying members. The club, whose faculty sponsor is Miss Bernice Austreheim, has had many interesting speakers throughout the year. The group has also sponsored winter and spring luncheons for their members and guests and held a tea in February honoring their former members.

SWEETHEART DANCE 1969 The largest national fraternity with chapters in Can- ada and the United States, Tau Kappa Epsilon offers op- portunities that cannot be provided by local organizations. Lambda Pi, the campus chapter and the oldest Greek or- ganization at Northeastern, participates in such school activities as intramurals, homecoming, ushering, and ath- letic competitions with the other fraternities. TKE also sponsors the annual Sweetheart Dinner-Dance which is the only formal dance given each year. With members whose interests and activities cover a wide variety of areas, the fraternity has adopted and supports a Korean orphan, Kim, with whom the TKE broth - ers exchange monthly letters. In addition to their other activities, TKE also supports an athletic program for the Chicago Parental Home which is adjacent to the N.I.S.C. campus. To supplement the opportunities and experiences provided by the college it- self, Tau Kappa Epsilon hopes to give its members a well- rounded and active college career.

Homecoming excitement erupted Friday evening with a col- orful review of floats created by mahy of the clubs at North- eastern. Friendly rivalry had been mounting for weeks as each club strived to design a winning exhibit. Revolving around the theme of King Arthur ' s Court, papier mach ' e eagles, knights in foil armor, and court ladies paraded - past the judges and specta- Among the half-time activities was the announcement of the float competition winners. Lambda Sigma Alpha with their gay court ladies won first place while Newman Club Came in second. Gaily attired as court jesters, the Pom Pom Girls performed their sprightly dance across the Gym floor. Also during half-time, the Eagles presented each of the cheerlead- ers with corsages to show the team ' s appreciation of the girls ' enthusias- tic support throughout the year. Mr. Gerald Butler, the Golden Eagles ' popular coach, was honored as well. Taking a team that was inexperienced and building it up to the point where it proudly stands today, Coach Butler will be greatly missed by both the team and the school when he leaves Northeastern to con- tinue his education. Returning to the game, the Lakers ' plight worsened. Seemingly able to predict every move of their opponents, the Eagles thwarted every effort of the Lakers to close the widening gap in the score. Basket after basket the Eagles made as the Lakers finally surrendered any attempt to win the game and merely worked to prevent the Eagles from making too many points. In the end, to the joy of the spectators, the Eagles crushed the Lakers 1 13 to 73. After the game, the exuberant Northeasterners listened to the music of the rock group, The Fadeaways, who performed for the Homecoming dance held that night in the Gym.

A virtuoso performance to send shivers up and down audience spines. Anyone who attended the Byron Janis Concert here at Northeastern knows what Thomas Willis of the Chicago Tribune is talking about. Mr. Janis is always in complete command of his piano, his music and his audience. He plays music as if he owns it; as he performs, a spell is cast and Mr. Janis soon owns the audience, too. Born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, Byron Janis was discovered by his kindergarten teacher and started piano lessons soon after. When he was nine years old, he played his first public recital in Pittsburgh ' s Carnegie Hall. Young Byron came under the distinguished tutelage of Josef and Rosina Lhevinne, Adele Marcus and Vladimir Horowitz at the age of eight. He won scholarships at the Columbia Grammar School while in New York. He also studied at the Chatham Square Music School, then under the direction of NBC Music Director Samuel Chotzinoff. At fifteen, Byron appeared as a soloist with the NBC Symphony. At twenty, he started touring the Americas and in 1952 made his European debut in Amsterdam. In 1960 and again in 1962 Byron Janis was sent by the State Department to perform in the Soviet Union as part of the Cultural Exchange Program. In 1961 the Boston Symphony and Paris ' Orchestre de la Conservatoire chose Mr. Janis to highlight their celebrations of the 150th anniversary of Liszt ' s birth. In 1964 Mr. Janis won the Coveted French Grand Prix du Disque for his recordings made while on tour in the Soviet Union with the Moscow Philharmonic. In 1965 the French government made the pianist Cheva- lier dans I ' Ordre des Arts et des Lettres . Mr. Janis creates poetry at the keyboard, and Northeastern is proud to have hosted this brilliant pianist. 200 YOUNG UCK KIM Si I . ft I Young Uck Kim entertained the Evening Concert Series this past year with an outstanding performance. Though only twenty years of age, he possesses the ability to understand music and the power to communi- cate. As Sidney Fields of the New York Daily News wrote: He played with eloquence, maturity and such intensity that there seemed to be no world beyond his bow. Young Uck Kim began piano studies at the age of five. Two years later he switched to violin and was barely eight years old when he won his first prize in an important contest. Kim came to the United States in 1961 as a student of Ivan Gala- mian and is continuing his studies under him. Subsequent appearances with the National Symphony Orchestra brought him to the attention of Leonard Bernstein. Mr. Bernstein introduced him at the Young People ' s Concert as a GENIUS , adding And I do not use that word lightly. Since then, invitations for guest appearances have been extended by over forty recital centers and orchestras, including major engagements at Ravinia and the Hollywood Bowl. Young Uck Kim can be truly classified as a GENIUS after hearing his performance at Northeastern. 201 PETER NERO Concert Series The Peter Nero concert was one of the most popular concerts of the season. Mr. Nero, who is recognized as being the foremost pianist in his field, gave a splendid performance. His style is strictly his own, encompassing everything from pure jazz to an ingenious use of the classics. He is the possessor of a masterful technique which he uses to create a rainbow of emotion from warm pathos to delightful humor. In addition to his piano artistry, Peter is an excellent arranger and arranges all the music that he plays. He is also an accom- plished composer and his concerts and record albums include many of his own compositions. His artistry has earned him two Grammy awards as well as fame all over the world. 203 Mr. Speller and Odetta share a smile with our photographer after her brilliant performance.
