Academic potpouri The campus shook as the Physics Club tested its latest discovery in the bowels of Roger Bacon. The administration withdrew as the Poli-Sci Society staged its final takeover attempt. Finally, the swamp behind RB raged as the Bio Club released its latest mutant creature. Did these events happen this year? Maybe not but other more fascinating ones highlighted a successful year of extra and co-curricular activities on the Siena campus. Many more significant events occured as students participated in the various activities sponsored by these student formed, student governed organizations The only requirements to become involved in these activities, were the desire to participate and perhaps a nominal membership fee. Interested students were invited to participate through numerous advertisements hung conspicuously on almost every standing object on the campus, and were given every Chance to respond. Such students were given the opportunity to develop their various interests in a non-graded, voluntary, and open atmosphere. In addition to thisl each of the clubs sponsored speakers, movies, discussions, and trips that were in most cases open to all of the Siena community, The History Club, Sociology and Social Work Club, and the Political Science Society are all committed to furthering an understanding of their fields both on and off campus, The highlights of the History Club's year were trips to Sturbridge Village and the New York Historical Society The Sociology and Social Work Club took trips to the Coxsackie Correctional Facility and held their annual Marriage Panel this past spring The Political Science Societyts activities included several noted speakers and round table discussions. Clubs from Roger Bacon include the Math, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics Clubs Leaders from all these groups stated that their purpose and goals were to stimulate interest in their respective areas, help members with career opportunities, and create better interaction between students and faculty. The Greyfriars once again sponsored a Classics in Films series and presented three poets, lames Purdy, Muriel Rukeyser and Donald Hale. Unfortunately, Muriel Rukeyser was forced to cancel her appearance due to illness The Creyfriars also planned several trips to New York City to see Broadway Plays. 20 Computer Science Club Row 1: K.

A creative touch Creative expression is a Vital aspect of the community here at Sienai Our creative groups concern themselves with such varied endeavors as journalism, literature, the theatre and music. Despite these differences in focus they have one thing in common; over the past year all of these groups have experienced new growth and improvements For the first time in its history, Sienals theatre group had a full-time directort From the time Mark Heckler was hired, in the Spring of 1979, he has worked to improve every aspect of theatre at Siena. He spent the entire summer rewiring a new lighting system and making several other technical improvements. He worked closely with the members of the theatre board and, togetheri they decided to change the group's name from The Little Theatre to a more professional Stage III, Stage III was much larger this year than it has been in the past and Mr. Heckler made a great effort to involve all students, especially freshman in its activities. The Coffee House, Sienals alternative to the rowdy party routine, enjoyed increased popularity this year due to a combination of factors, including the improved quality of the performers and an active Coffee House staff. Coffee House had its greatest success with the Open House performances, in which talented student performers had the Chance to become stars for an evening. From its beginnings last year, the Jazz Ensemble has grown in size and musical ability. Under a new director, loseph Benville, a graduate of the College of St; Rose, the Ensemble practiced weekly. Several successful concerts were presented both on campus and in local high schools, The Schola Cantorum participated in many activities this year. W. ludson Rand, the Choirls director, led the group in the MiniePop Concert and Iiturgies held on campus The highlight of Schola's year was the annual Nativity Pageanti in which the Christmas story was reenacted while songs of the season were sung. tcontinued on page 24l 22 'ENA THEATRI COME HERE TONIGHT AND SEE WHY 7100 Stage Three Board of Directors Chris loele, Chair; Marie Connors, sec. treas.
