ENGLISH CLUB Open to all students, English Club seeks to present facets of literature and drama which would otherwise be unavailable to the student body. This year Mr. Alan Schneider, Broadway director of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? spoke on The Theatre in Transition. Mr. Alan Dugan, winner of the 1962 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and Mr. Gary Snyder read from their own poetry. Dr. Mary Marshall, Professor of English at Syracuse University, spoke on Shakespeare's comedies. Feeling that students are often unaware of the achievements of their faculty and fellow students, English Club presented Dr. Helen Theimer, reading and interpreting her own stories, and the contributors of the spring is- sue of Pen and Brush, reading their own selections. During the spring semes- ter English Club sent its officers to the New York State English Council at Buffalo. clRcuLo ESPAANOL The newly formed Circulo Espanol provides students with an opportunity to become well ac- quainted with the Spanish language and civilization through presenta- tions by Spanish-speaking students, professors, and visitors. ln the fall semester the Spanish Club's programs centered around life in Latin America. The speakers were primarily students who have visited the countries on their own, through student exchange pro- grams andthe Peace Corps. A jet age field trip to Puerto Rico was planned for the spring semes- ter. The students were divided into small groups, each choosing a different aspect of Puerto Rico to do research on such topics as: pub- lic education, political attitudes of the Puerto Ricans towards the Unit- ed States, and the influence of reli- gion on the Puerto Rican. The re- search was augmented by personal experiences in Puerto Rico. Once back, the members planned a ser- ies of lectures to the college stu- dents and to local high schools. FIRST ROW: B. Ervvay, C. Quirk. SECOND ROW: A. Vergalito, M. Glassing, N. Furletti, E. Torres. THIRD ROW: S. Rubenstein, J. Pless, H. Tuttle, C. Cotelo, M. Adler.

The De- bate Club meets with New York State and other East- ern seaboard colleges in competition for awards.
