Students volunteered to host rap sessions at the rally. Some topics for discussion were Psyhic Phenomena, Gourmet Food, Leadership and Getting a New Club to Click, Food and Population, and Puppetry for Little People. Television celebrity Fran Allison, from the television series "Kukla, Fran, and Ollie" was a special guest at lunch.
Officer elections for the sections were also held at this rally. Jayne Schulenberg '75 of Maine West was elected vice-president.
Outside activities were also offered. Some were hayrides, hiking, a campfire sing‑along, an animal farm, and many others. Volunteer students also acted as hosts and hostesses for the fun games and luncheon tables. In this way students were able to get acquainted with other members of the club.
