First off, and most important, you needed a computer. Second, you needed to be willing to go to the meetings of the Basic Group, held every Thursday in D-8. When you got there another decision faced you. Which group do you belong to? Are you one of the Beginner Users Group, or could you make it as an Advanced Computer Expert? If neither group was your style and you owned a Commodore comput- er, you could be a member of Commodore Users Group. Whichever way you chose to go, the experience you received would give you an edge over the competition.

Unfortunately, the majority of students involved in the club had to work hard to maintain their grade point averages. In order to earn the right to be in this club, students had to have three ' A ' s in academic courses. One of our goals is to let students know about the different scholarships they can win, concluded Alice Drury, advisor. ro o CO [«• .! a T« Jtm deration Fr eve Downs ?
