The UNICEF drive col- lected more than 3500 at Halloween, while the Christmas party featured a stamp ex- change and entertainment by South's foreign students. The IRL sponsored the annual United Nations Day, the Foreign Student Dessert, and the American Field Service pro- gram and fund-raising dinner. Delegates studied the theme, The Sino-Soviet Rift,'i for several weeks before attending the state IRL conference held in March at the Univer- sity of Oregon where the club received two outstanding achievement awards. Two in- novations this year were after-school sem- inars featuring foreign students, political scientists, and Peace Corps workers as speak- ersg and a newsletter, the Expose, published to inform students of current activities. Mike Bray was presidentg Miss Grace Miller and James Freeman, advisers.
