Women In Communications Do not be deceived by the title of Women in Communications. Not only women communications majors were allowed. Men or women from any major were welcome at all club meet- ings and functions. The skills taught by this group were worthwhile to each and every member. The club focused on the practicality of resume writing, interview skills, business etiquette, and assertiveness. President, Felicia French explained, WICI is not just another student organization. We want the words ' practicality ' and ' efficiency ' associated with our group. The quarterly media night was the big event sponsored by WICI in which professionals from the media dis- cussed their careers. —Wendy Wessman Joanna Alvarez (Historian). Nancy Alvarez (Treasurer).

Besides promoting the empowerment of women in society, the two other major goals of the U of YWCA in 1990 were to eliminate racism and to help the home- less. Many programs were implemented to help the YWCA achieve their goals. Said Alex Limon, YWCA historian, . . . we had a speaker . . . come talk about interna- tional racism, and we also had a careeer clothing drive for the homeless. YWCA supplied food and clothes for many of the homeless and raised funds by partici- pating in Mardi Gras and by selling candy. In this way, the U of MA CA put a lot of effort into attaining their desired goals. -Lin Dah Lim Deanna Adamson, Carrie Bacon (Social Activity Chairperson), Rachael Bacon (Resident Assistant), Andrea Cardenas (President), Carol Chen, Helen Hsiao, Michaela Cho, Judy Chu, Peri Darweesh (Secretary), Monica Decker, Tami Fnedken, Felice Huang, Busaracam Indamra, Lara Jacques (Workjob Chairperson), Helen Joo (Publicity), Patty Kuo, Varese Layzer, Christina Lau, Sihwa Lee.
