bara has a full summer planned.
Sli6 is ^oing to Queens to suiximer
school and then hopes ^ to go to
California for a vacation. In com
menting on her new office, Barbara
says, “.Although I have never been
on the IRS Council, I hope to
quickly get in the swing of things
by attending meetings. If possible,
I would like to bring the student
body closer to the standards of
IRS with a more positive attitude
than a negative one presented by
the call-down system. This is not
to say that call downs will be
abolished, but I would like to create
more interest in the importance of
IRS.”

was elected to be next year’s NSA
Co-ordinator. Dean is a French
