CURRENT EVENTS Philosophy Club The Philosophy Club offers an excellent opportunity to students of all majors to discuss current controversial issues. Professors and graduate students are often invited to the meetings to discuss their specialties in philosophy. The atmosphere is informal and offers the chance to interact with students from all areas. Discussions often center around vital issues such as abortion, nuclear arms and world hunger, but less familiar topics are discussed as well. ■ PHILOSOPHY CLUB - row 1: Cirigliano Gerard, John French, Judy Harford, Patrick Hogan, Stephen Wu.

The Resident Student Association is an organization which plans activities and takes actions to improve life in the residence halls. Many fun and exciting activities took place this year. Students spent a fun-filled evening at the Meadows, roller skated the quad, and had a good scare in the RSA haunted house. Besides sponsoring entertaining activities, RSA provided many services to the student body. Refrigerator rentals and blood drives were included on the long list of RSA responsibilities. The RSA acts on behalf of all resident students in any matter which might affect the quality of residence life. R.S.A.
