Newman Club One of the newest clubs at Pur- due Caiumet is the Catholic spon- sored Newman Club. It exists for the whole university community— students, faculty, administration and staff. It seeks to create a cli- mate for friendship and responsi- bility, for intellectual growth and maturity, for social action. These soals are sought because they are Christian and are desirable for the continued development of the uni- versity community. Club membership is ecumenical —Catholic, Protestant, Jew, every person of good will. Participation in Newman activities and use of the House, located at 7204 Ontario Street, 1s open to members and non-members alike. Cardinal John Henry Newman, the patron of the club, was an in- tellectual who was very much en- gaged in university development. Purdue Calumet’s Newman Club is trying to follow Cardinal Newman’s guidelines in promoting student- faculty relations, social affairs and conversation in a friendly atmo- sphere, and an increase in the in- tellectual excellence of the Univer- sity. Through these ideals, the club hopes to channel the students’ en- thusiasm to the real issues of the day—poverty, civil rights, and in- ternational affairs—which are so important to their future.
