Political Club Members David Brown, Alex Kaleta, Dave Kominiak (treasurer), and Maria J. Maruschak (secretary President Barry High and vice president Don Graegin are unpictured. The Purdue Calumet Political Club is not a particularly social one—it runs along more serious lines. These club members meet bi- monthly to exchange political ideas with other students and professors. The club’s main purpose has been to develop critical, objective think- ing and to discuss the political problems plaguing all phases of to- day’s government. Their meetings consist of a short talk given by a professor or some other guest speak- er on a topic relevent to today’s pol- itics, followed by an open discus- sion by members. Through the year they have great opportunity to learn, not only about politics and other people, but about themselves as well. roe EE 4 SS ABT $1

They also had, discussions, speakers, and a books and coffee session. The club even started the New Year off right—Chinese New Year, that is— with a: trip to Chinatown!
