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.

T HE Newman Club consists of students who are actively interested in the Catholic religion, but this club is open to everyone who is interested in Catholicism. Father Rogers of the Carmelite order is spiritual director, and Mr. Moses Stivers is faculty advisor. The executive committee consists of Bob Kane, President; Deirdre Manning, Vice-President; Pat Darcy, Secretary; Karl Grimm, Treas¬ urer. During the meetings Father Rogers spoke on problems that occur in the life of a Catholic college student. Everyone is invited to these meetings as well as to the conventions which are held in New York City and New Paltz, New York. Bernadette McCormick attended the convention in New York City in January of this year. In March the members went to a con¬ vention in New Paltz. At these conventions the young people discuss their problems. The topic for this year was “Upstate Newman Clubs.’’ Our club has the problem of being located too far from the other Catholic Clubs in various colleges. The Newman Club numbers twenty members and meets twice every month in room 209 in Hudson Hall. As has been the custom in the past, the club sponsored a Com¬ munion Breakfast this past spring.
