Media Credit: Isabel Rodriguez Chronicle Reporter Kalyn Nelson speaks with President of the Politcal Science Club Cameron Reeves (left) and Vice President Jacob Homan about their new club. The club has yet to have any members. They will have a another meeting on Dec 8.

An informative meeting was held last Wednesday to describe the formation of a new club on campus, the Political Science Club.
The meeting was held in SUL 305. The two members responsible for initiating the PSC are Jacob Homan, a junior and president of the club, and Vice President Cameron Reeves, a senior.
The faculty sponsor is Associate Professor of Political Science E. Gene Defelice, who came up with the idea for the PSC after a year off from teaching.
Since this club is in the planning process, its main prerogative is to recruit people who want to learn and be more politically aware on and around the campus, according to Reeves.
The club is open to any student or faculty member who has an interest in politics.
Homan said with the formation of this club, he hopes to create a political atmosphere with debates and social forums and more of a traditional college impression, rather than the junior college feel many students believe PUC has.
According to Homan, the reason there is a lack of interest in the club is because of the conflicting work schedules of students and the difficulty in trying to find a good meeting time.
The PSC hopes they can hold social events, critiques and discussions of philosophies.
Reeves believes if PUC can gain an atmosphere of political awareness a controversial issue on campus would spur students involved could take a stand.
It is Reeves' hope to bring the political and socioeconomic society, as a whole, to the entire campus instead of a small group of students and to have student forums to discuss political activities and events.
