Chinese Club A new organization this year, the Chinese Student Association, sought to unite the Chinese students at SU and to introduce Chinese culture to the University community. Initially the CSA had problems obtaining a charter from the student senate because of what the senators termed discrimination. CSA members, however, felt the organization would only benefit the Chinese student if membership were reserved for Chinese or those students who could speak the language. In its first year of existence, the CSA published the first Chinese periodical on campus, WEN-YU. February 2,jhe group ushered in the Chinese New Year, Ab71, the year of the ox, with a dinner party in the Bellarmine Chez Moi. May 5, club members helped stage the International Night Get Together, a cultural exchange which included representatives from 12 foreign countries and six American subcultures. CSA officers were Laris Chan, president; Wai Ching Ling, vice president; and Edward Chin, secretary-treasurer. Advisers were Chu Chiu Chang and Fr. John Clifford, S|. Above: K.K.
