STUDENT LIFE t 5 “I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” - Voltaire St. Andrews has many social opportunities on campus, but with everything else going on in the average stud^t’s life, keeping track of everything creates a lot of stress and some major headaches. Qub Watch is an article written to keep the campus community informed about the projects and progress of clubs. Normally, 1 would feature a couple clubs and their activities, but this past month the club fair took place in front of Belk. For those of you who missed the opportunity. I’ve gathered basic descriptions and information mi as many clubs as I could. The following descriptions include a rating of low, medium, or high concerning commitment levels. Low requires few meetings and not much activity on the part of students. These clubs typically meet monthly, or for short periods weekly. Medium status means the club has regular meetings with an increased amount of work for students, but nothing ttiat would burden or conflict with active social and academic schedules. High status suggests the students will be expected to do quite a bit of work, yet not necessarily over long time period. These clubs take up a lot of energy, how^^er, and it may take a bit of consideration td'fit them into a schedule. Model UN; The Model United Nations presents an opportunity for future leaders to work together. The representatives work to prepare for a conference in Atlanta, Georgia in November.
