INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS T HE purpose of the International Relations Club is to foster an active interest and deeper understanding in the nations of the world. The club has joined the Collegiate Council for the United Nations, a college organization devoted to the United Nations. As a member of this organization, the club participates in diversified projects carried out on a national scale in support of the United Nations, such as the annual Collegiate Council for the United Nations Model General Assembly. Each participating college represents a United Nations member. The International Relations Club, representing Saudi Arabia, sent eight delegates to this year’s assembly at Wilkes College in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. In addition to their Collegiate Council for the United Nations work, the International Relations Club invites speakers to the college to discuss issues of international significance. Many of our students have travelled abroad, as Robert Dederick did while he was in the service. The club encourages them to show films and slides or tell of their experiences. The club also sponsors field trips and social activities. The officers are chosen for one year.
