From Germany, With Love! The German Club has been busy with their annual OKTOBERFEST and Sylvester’s Party. To fund each activity, they sold calendars and baked ‘LEBKUCHEN HERZ,’ or heart cookies, for Valentine’s Day, which contained “sweet nothings’’ written in German. As there were no officers this year, they organized committees to plan new events — one being a trip to Frankenmuth, Mich, in the spring. The club also sponsored the annual German Exchange Student Program in the spring. r ,

I Que comeis de Espana? The Spanish Club was very successful with their Taco Dinner this year. The money raised from the annual event was enough to fund their yearly trip to a Mexican restaurant, this year’s being “Famous Taco”. Those students that attended were able to use their Spanish, as well as experience a ‘taste’ of the culture. Another activity to raise money included a Spanish candy sale — “Chupa-chups” that came from Barcelona. Due to the political crisis in Spain, the exchange program was delayed until the summer, and involved students from Madrid, rather than Barcelona.
