The Chemistry Club consisted ofmany students from the science department. They had regular In– formal meetings and activities. They participated In National Chemistry Week and promoted ac– tivities for secondary and middle schools. Many of the members participated In a tutoring service that was open for all chemistry students. Science majors. This was a good organization for science majors to join because it helped these stu– dents broaden their horizons in their specltic field of study and It let them expand their knowledge and interest in science In general. The club allowed the students to grow and prepare themselves for the years ofscience ahead of them following graduation. Aside from learning new aspects about biology, the club planned trips outside of school to help them learn about biology in an in– teresting and fun sort of way. "It's a good club.

front ofa computer until their eyes start displaying computer sym– bols? Actually, It was much more than that. They met together In or– der to share experiences, chal– lenges and Interesting findings that they learned. In their second semester on campus the Math and Computer Science Club had fifteen members on their roster and they were still growing. It was really more of a club for social activities for people who shared similar Interests. Lots ofactivities filled the calen– dar for the club. Trips were planned to go to Balboa Park and the Reuben H. fleet Space Theater and Science Center. ''ft was a small group but we had a good time, " said Christal Phung. Psychology Club QI aterlng to those students who were Interested In the field of social sciences, was the Psychology Club.
