Ciceronians Speak Out Under the able guidance of Prof. Lee Good- man, Ciceronians represented Purdue Calumet at speech and debate tournaments throughout the Mid-West. At various times during the year Ciceronians was represented by: Susan Clark, Doug Fix, Marlene Gransinger, Warren Griggs, Mike Laramie, and Chuck Starks. Although rela- tively inexperienced at the college level in for- ensics, these individuals did well at the various tournaments, with Susan, Doug, Warren, and Mike winning awards. Serving as a meeting ground for PUCC clubs to discuss projects and problems, the Inter-Club Council sought to coordinate activities and ease problems of each club. Every club was represent- ed in ICC and in turn ICC was represented in the Student Congress. Such functions as calen- daring activities and admitting new organiza- tions related to Student Congress and served to relieve some of the work for that group. Led by first semester chairman Jerry Wilski and second semester chairman Bob Harper, the Inter- Club Council spurred interest in various clubs of PUCC through weekly meetings and discus- sions. THE INTER-CLUB COUNCIL is LEFT TO RIGHT—S. Clark, J. Wilski, W. Griggs, Mr. Goodman, M. Gransinger, M. Laramie, D. Fix. BOF SF Coordinates Clubs an asset to Purdue Calumet.
