CCS grows even after liberation



In its nineteen years of shedding light on the situation in the South of Lebanon, the Cultural Club of the South has opened its doors once again to welcome students interested in joining it, even though the liberation of the South of Lebanon took place on May 25, 2000. Last week a busy and sometimes packed stand, located outside Ada Dodge Hall, allowed easy access to flyers and brochures that summed up the clubÕs goals and achievements. It also gave students the chance to get in contact with the various club members present to answer questions about the club and talk about the current situation in the South. The purpose of the stand is to Òintroduce and publicize the club to new students as well as bring awareness to the South and the problems it is facing, through student involvement and activities,Ó said Sameer Sabbah, a second year mechanical engineer and member at large of the club. The number of potential students who have shown interest in joining is definitely a sign of its successful publicity acknowledgement among the AUB community. ÒIn the first two days alone, 75 potential students have signed up to join the club,Ó declared the clubÕs secretary, Mohammad Yasseen, a third year computer science major. With its many activities and colorful agenda, such as the various receptions held, sports tournaments, picture galleries and trips to the South, the club shows promise for yet again another year of bringing consciousness, support and assistance to the South and its people.
