The Suffolk University Chapter of the Intercollegiate Zionist Federation of America CIZFAD was founded in October 1949. Since then, it has assumed its place beside the other clubs in the university as an integral part of the extra curricula activities program. The chapter is a part of a national federation, embracing most of the major colleges and universities in the country. Within the short space of one year, Suffolk IZFA sponsored a dance on Armistice Day Eve, followed shortly thereafter by the joint sponsorship with the University administration by Dr. Abraham I. Feldman, noted lecturer and Rabbi, who delivered an address to the student body. In addition to the regular meetings within the university, the chapter has joined with the rest of the New England area in participating in weekend seminars and various other types of endeavor. It is hoped that the chapter will be able to send representatives to the national as well as to the regional conventions, both to be held very shortly. Since its foundation, the chapter has been one of the outstanding units in New England and it shall continue to represent Suffolk spirit in the future.

The German Club Reorganized in the fall of 1949, the German Club endeavors to aid the student in acquiring a rich background in the German language and the cultural atmosphere in which it is spoken. Open to all members of the university, the club meets twice monthly at the home of its director, Dr. Stanley M. Vogel. At these club meetings, parliamentary procedure is eliminated. A congenial atmosphere, featuring a blazing fireplace, the shimmering glow of soft candlelight and the mellowing taste of cool cider, serves to stimulate much interest among club members. Besides discussing German poetry and literature, club members plan to attend German films which appear in Boston. Iust recently, the club ac- quired a collection of European recordings of German folk-songs by Richard Tauber. The German Club climaxed the year with a discussion on two of Ger- many's greatest poets, the prolific Iohann Goethe and Heinrich Heine. Excerpts from Faust , Germany's national poem by Goethe, and many of Heine's lyrical poems were translated and interpreted by Dr. Vogel.

International Relations Club The International Relations Club CIBC? is an organization for students interested in the discussion and interpretation of world, social and political problems, such as: What Are The Harms Of Communism: Who Owns The Hydrogen Bomb, The U. S. or Russia: Is World Peace Possible? To stimulate interest in international events, the IRC invites prominent authorities to lecture in the auditorium. Panel discussions and forums are the outstanding features of this activity, in which guests as well as members are invited to question any issue presented. The IRC also selects and sends representatives to various conventions such as those held in Chicago, Springfield, Worcester and other areas. This club affords many students the opportunity to have direct contact with World problems, which as technology advances, are becoming more and more essential to be understood.
