Purdue Calumet’s Student Con- gress for 1968-69 was instrumental in developing closer relations with the other regional colleges in an ef- fort to increase and strengthen the ties which already exist between Purdue Cal and the other campuses. Congress gave its approval for the establishment of the Association of Regional Campuses. The fund drive for Tradewinds was jointly operat- ed by PUCC, St. Joseph's, and |.W. Northwest. Inter-campus meetings between the three schools were also started.

Student Student Congress started the year by holding Freshman Orienta- tion. After several weeks of grueling sessions at Kangaroo Court, Fresh- men got their revenge at the Tug- of-War where Congress held a wiener roast. Elections for Senators were held twice because of possible vote fraud in the first election. The new Con- gress re-established Gripe Sessions and proposed a Student Recreation Center in the room below the new Congress Office in the Inland Build- ing. Cheryl Echterling was their Homecoming Queen candidate. Guided by Senior Senator, Harry Tice, the Congress float placed third in the 1968-69 Homecoming Parade.

Building on the theme of the de- velopment and expansion of Purdue Calumet, ASTRON staff endea- vored to tell the story of this year at P.U.C.C. Working under the gui- dance of a professional yearbook company for the first time, the small staff spent vacations from schoolwork composing copy, crop- ping pictures, and fitting material into layouts provided by the pub- lisher. The ASTRON photographer was in evidence at school events throughout the school year in anti- cipation of meeting the printer's deadlines. Seniors and faculty looked their best for portraits taken by a professional photographer. Editors fitted the pieces together to complete the book. Prudi Elliott, Editor, discusses problem with staff members.
