Campus News Briefs

Club News
Campus clubs wound up the semester’s activities last week, and, due to a school policy of no scheduled meetings during dead week, no clubs held any business activity this week. Various activities have been planned, however, for next semester, and others are in the making.

Phi Theta Kappa will send several members to its national convention in Philadelphia, Pa., next March. A new treasurer will also be elected to replace Diane McMillan, who is moving to England. A selected group of students will be initiated into the honorary scholastic organization later in the spring, and the club is planning to participate in the spring Flea Market.

Blue Jackets will have a membership drive during registration. All freshman girls having a C average and taking at least 12 hours of classes are eligible to join. Membership fee is $15. New members will be initiated at a formal banquet, and a new president will be elected to replace Teddi Hoback, who is leaving to attend Texas Tech in Lubbock.

Delta Psi Omega, a national honorary drama fraternity, will initiate several new dramatists who have played an important part in campus productions.

Chess Club, the newest organization on campus, is planning a tournament in February for area high schools and colleges. Business and strategy meetings are planned regularly for next spring. Games will continue to be played in the library at times convenient for participants.

French Clubbers have planned a party for January. Their main event, a banquet, will be held later in the spring; they also plan to participate in the spring Flea Market.

Circle K will have their dance-a-thon to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis campaign sometime this spring. New members can join during registration. They will also sell their 1975 calendars next semester.

Rodel Club will have its annual spring rodeo later in the year to raise money for scholarships. They will also have a spring dance and will attend several fairs and livestock exhibitions in this area.

Young Democrats will attend a number of seminars, workshops, and conventions held throughout the state. A number of other activities are on the drawing board.

Agricultural Science Club will go on several field trips to interesting places in the area and help with TC’s new farm.

All-staters
Six TC music students will be members of the All-State band, which will perform during the Texas Junior College Teachers’ Association meeting in February in Houston.

The students are Lee Ann Patterson, Bruce Power and Lariece Lynn, clarinet; Dennis Kensington, trumpet; Donna Barlow, flute; and Dick Wise, percussion.

Tee Cees
Tee Cees, an all-male service organization, is in the process of planning an extensive membership drive for the spring term, according to Bob Bell, faculty sponsor.

Beli said that the club was not active this semester because there were only a few members. He said that the group is planning to sign up several new prospects during registration in January.

Texas History
A new course to be added to the TC curriculum next semester is a Texas History Class, taught by Mrs. Levonne Davis. The class is scheduled for 12:30-2 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday so as not to conflict with the basics, according to Ms. Davis.
