Clubs offer fun, culture, involvement
By Ian Schwartz
For the Mesa Legend
Two trips to the Grand Canyon, one to California, a science day, and
a Youth Out-Reach program are just some of the events planned for MCC's
Geology Club.
This and other information about clubs available at MCC were displayed
at the annual club fair on, Sept. 25.
Many clubs had the chance to show their stuff and encourage students to
get involved.
Clubs that participated were the Environmental Action Club, Geology Club
(both clubs feature out of city trips), the Muslim Student Association,
A.W.A.R.E. (Adult Women's Active Return to Education), PSi Beta (Pyschology
honor society), M.E.Ch.A. (Movimento Estudiantil Chicano De Azltan), L.D.S.S.A.
(Later Day Saints Student Association), PHi Theta Kappa (Honor Society),
and I.T.S.O. (Inter Tribal Student Organization).
If getting the skinny on a club of your interest wasn't enough, there
were plenty of other attractions such as the tight beats of "The
Sciannas."
The band who's cover of Weezer's El Scorcho had some students thinking,
possibly Weezer had made a stop in Mesa for a minor venue.
This was not the case but none the less students enjoyed the sounds while
sprinting to a class or relaxing under a tree while eating lunch.
MCC student government was on hand as well, disseminating information
and handing out large foam hands bearing the MCC logo and school colors.
Students also had a chance to cool off from the one hundred plus degree
weather with snow cones.
M.E.Ch.A and I.T.S.O were two of the clubs that were offering a taste
of their culture by providing the students with many different native
dishes.
Those who were on a tight budget had not look too far because many clubs
were offering chips, candy and drinks as a welcome gesture.
"It's a great way for students to get involved in the community and
campus," said Fred Yazzie, president of the I.T.S.O.
"This helps show what kind of cultures are out there and at the same
time promotes diversity."
Fliers were handed out with the schedule of many of the events taking
place with a particular club such as a camping trip to San Pedro River
with the E.A.C.
Sophomore Rose Clay of the E.A.C. said the club fair is great, "It
helps people to know what we are about; maybe students can give ideas
and also learn what they can do to help the environment."
Most of the clubs at MCC participate in community projects like volunteering
and out reach programs.
The E.A.C. has a Cray fish remove planned to help protect the endangered
Wetlands as well as a day to clean up and maintain MCC's low water use
Xeriscape which surrounds the campus.
The Geology club gives elementary school students around the Valley the
chance to learn about physical sciences and geology, by traveling to schools
and doing demonstrations.
These are just a sample of some of the many efforts being made by clubs
to help enrich and educate the community.
