The Ka Honu Hoi (the Cheerful Turtles) Surfing Club has been formed by a group of ambitious students interested in beach activities. Still in the formative stage, the club plans to engage in such aquatic pastimes as surfboarding and skindiving. A beach volley-ball team has been organized to compete with various fraternity groups from San Diego State College, Junior College, and elsewhere. As this is being written, plans are underway for a beach party. During the summer the club will represent the University at various skindiving and other aquatic events in the San Diego area. Officers of the club are: Vince Maher, President; Jack Barreiro, Vice-President; Don McElhaney, Treasurer; Bob Gonzalez, Secretary; and Tony Piazza, Sergeant-at-Arms. Faculty moderator is Father William D. Spain.

John Desmond's first semester General Psychology course. Their object in so doing is to further their knowledge in the field of psychology through research, experimentation and other projects which they were unable to pursue in the classroom. A program of service has been offered to the University and other outside organizations by these young men. They are planning tours and field trips, lectures, and film presentations. While this is the school's smallest club, many big things will stem from its organization and it is hoped that someday soon it will develop into an honor society for psychology students. Mr. Irving Parker is graciously serving as faculty moderator in the absence of Fr. Desmond. Officers are Bill Tony, President; Dennis Schmidt, Vice-President; and Roger Ralston, Secretary-Treasurer. 90

Here at the College for Men the necessity of a good student government was realized from the beginning. With this in mind, the administration commissioned Ed Brown to draft a constitution and with the acceptance of this document by the students, the Associated Student Body was formed. As stated in the constitution, they were to be represented by a Student Council, whose function it was to maintain the moral character of student activities. and to represent the school officially whenever the need arose. To fulfill these duties, they were endowed with the necessary powers, but were directly answerable to the Associated Student Body. The administration show enough faith in the students to allow them to govern themselves, and the students showed themselves worthy of this trust by governing themselves well. Let us hope and pray that what we have started shall long endure. 92
