Gallimaufry 1993

T h e C o l o r o f M o n e y Political involvement was one of the biggest pieces of the Big Picture this year. Whether it was the IMSA community politics of Student Council and Class Club, or the global politics of the newly formed groups Youth for Democratic Action (YDA), the Young Republicans, or Model United Nations, this year afforded students the opportunity to get politically involved. With the Presidential election in November, many students chose to exercise that right to get involved. The addition of Wing Representatives to Student Council was a welcome change decided on by last year's referrendum. It expanded Council from 19 members, five from each class and four officers, to 38; one from each of the 28 wings, two from each class, and the four officers. Through commit– tees, Council managed to make changes to benefit the entire IMSA community. Forums were held to talk about problems at IMSA, and were attended by students, teachers, and faculty. Council also helped run the Consor– tium, and met with delegates to establish a system of communications between the Student Council: Top row: Andy Cox, Matt Pritchard, Stan Tsai, Gus lackson, Faisal Hadi, Eric Lee Second row: Anne Kinderman Lynn Sosa, Peter Ganeff ,Mike Liu, Ray Wee Third Row: Rich Lee, Shelley Minteer, Sally Harkleroad, Amy Wroblewski, JoAnn Sison, Roy Thitiipraserth Fourth row: Tina Almeida, Nora Chen, Karen Wu, Venk Nattarajan student political organizations to share ideas. The Class Clubs were busy as usual, trying to raise money for Prom and other activities through game shows, dances and T-shirt sales, among other things. The Junior Class put on Turn-A-Bout '93, wowwing the community with their tasteful decorations. Class of '93 Club was especially busy, running Prom and finalizing plans for Senior Week and the Graduation Ceremony. With the election this fall, the Young Republicans and YDA were formed and became very visible on campus. They held numerous forums, debates, and discussions, encouraging the student body to express their opinions on how the country should be run. Model UN also was affected by the election, encountering new issues, and having to examine the arena of world politics from a new president's perspective. From all sides of the fence, we were kept in touch by the political clubs with the world, the nation, and our own community, helping to show yet another demention of the Big ^ n i Senior Class Club: Kathleen Clarke, Amy Fletcher, Maggie Slocum Not pictured: Alan Hsu Junior Class Club: Raj Keswani, Josephine Aung Not pictured: Justin May, Naresh Kilaru Sophomore Class Club: Gina Song, Young Chang, Anna Harr Not pictured: Dev Kalyan C l u bs
