A FINE ARTS CLUB Dove Kominiak (treasurer),“Miss Sigrid Stark (sponsor), Maria Maruschak (president), David Brown (secretary). 82 The Gables Fine Arts Club is one of the most interesting on cam- pus. Their main objective is the stimulation of students toward areas of culture, such as art, litera- ture, and music, by means of tours, lectures, concerts, etc. The mem- bers thoroughly enjoyed such pro- grams as Dr. Fischer’s piano con- cert, Mr. Tobin’s talk on the Ku- baki Theater, and Mr. Tinkham’s reading of his own poetry. 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!

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

Industrious Circle K member Kurt Herring works the night through to finish the club's Home- coming float. Kurt Herring, vice president, and Charles Walker, president, conduct a meeting at which one of the many dances sponsored by the organiza- tion are planned. Circle K, the campus activity for men sponsored by the Kiwanis, is one of Purdue’s finest examples of a service organization. Their main objective is to build character and leadership into their members to- day so that they will mature into good community leaders tomorrow. They aid both school and commu- nity by emphasizing the American way of life, by providing good fel- lowship, and by instilling worth- while ideas in their members. Among their many and varied ac- complishments for the year are winning second place for their float in the Hammond Christmas Parade (in conjunction with Purdue Calu- met’s first Homecoming), aiding the Hammond Kiwanis, sponsoring several dances including one with the Circle K from Indiana Uni- versity, and donating portable stag- ing to the school.
