The Internship for Com- munity Leadership group, sponsored by ICE, meets for lunch and a program each Wednesday in the ICE Conference Room. The International Students Club, with assistance from ICE staff, was revitalized and meets weekly in the Conference Room. Students visited the ICE Housef' to apply for the Community or Col- lege Ambassador program, to work on the Model United Nations Assembly program, to attend an elec- tion night party, to work on WAUP-FM discussion pro- grams, or to attend a Senior Seminar session.
