The purpose of the International Re- lations club is to promote interest and understanding of World affairs. Our or- ganization is completely voluntary and the only requirement for membership is interest in international relations. During the year We have outside speakers, movies, and discussion groups. We also sponsored a luncheon and dis- cussion for Robert St. John. Our topics change with the world situation. We receive an endless stream of valuable material from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which we use in the classroom and at our club meetings. International Relations Our meetings are held at the college cafeteria, where we can relax over a cup of coffee. We have lots of fun, yet at the same time, learn to discuss problems of an international scope which We can use in classroom and in everyday life. A special reading shelf has been estab- lished in the library for the use of the club. The club is sponsored by Dr. Zober and is now in its second year of operation. Earl Thompson is the current president, lim Barron is vice-president, and Don WVertjes is secretary. ,fy fa ,A E' First Row-Don Wertjes, Earl Thompson, VVilliam Ilillcr, Margaret llullingcr.
