The sacrifices student leaders make in their schedules generate

life in the campus clubs. Behind all the club-sponsored activi­

ties, there must be a dose of hard work and inspiration.

Alesha Terry swallowed the lump in her throat, picked up the telephone, and

dialed the number. She wasn't calling one of her friends to chit-chat. Instead,

she was dialing the number of a local business to talk about the drama club

and opportunities for contributions. Although some take only a passing inter­

est in the campus clubs, others, like Alesha, pour their time and energy into

these organizations, providing the momentum behind the groups. As she said,

“The time commitment is enormous! Much goes on behind the scenes to

make a show go smoothly." These students not only motivate others to get in­

volved in the clubs but also provide the “elbow grease" to pull the activities off

the ground.

Club sponsors appreciate the invaluable roles that students provide. For

example, the leaders in the drama club help run meetings, play active roles in

organizing fund-raisers like Improv, and in turn encourage their own sponsors.

“We never have a meeting or activity when I am not brought to laughter (and

many times to tears) and that is such a blessing in the stressful lives we lead,"

drama club leader Dr. Melissa Frame said.

Drama Club is only one among the many orga-

nizations in which students have stepped up to the re-

sponsibilities involved. The Spanish Club, the newest A t a meeting,

of the campus clubs, has since flourished as multi-cul­

tural. Students became excited about a time to talk to we normally will

others in their own native language. Marta Galdamez

explained that the club provides time to “enjoy fellow­ commence with

words of encouragement. ” With active student partici­

pation, the campus clubs can indeed be a source of small devotional.
