ACCOUNTING ACADEMY The Accounting Academy has as its purpose the development of a professional attitude toward accounting as a career. It also attempts to instill in its members the high regard for business ethics so necessary to the successful accountant. On a more practical level, it attempts to help the members to acquire an understanding of the current problems in the field of accounting and in business in general. The program by which the academy hopes to achieve these goals includes group discussions among its members and lectures by prominent businessmen and practicing accountants. 256

From its inception the academy has promoted a fuller and deeper appreciation of the arts, customs, language, and history of Italy. It offers an abundance of varied ac- tivities such as movies, lectures, and student panels, folkloristic sing- alongs and dances, conce rts, plays, and field trips. Officers: President, Janet Quagenti; Vice-President, Lenore Sotera; Secretary, Mary Raim6; Treasurer, Joseph Ferolito. ITALIAN ACADEMY SPANISH ACADEMY The Spanish Academy, since its reorganization in 1948, has endeavored to develop in its members an understanding and appreciation of the Spanish language and the cultural heri- tage not only of Spain but also of Latin America. The music of these countries has been emphasized in weekly song fests. This year the academy added a service feature and col- lected clothing to send to the convent of San Francisco Betanzos, La Coruna, Spain. leers: President, Richard Picerno; Vice-President, Jorge Bermudez; Secretary, Sr. Carmen Vega; Treasurer, William Lallas 255

Now in its second year of publication, the newsletter has concentrated on dis- seminating the minutes of Student Sen- ate meetings and alerting all students to the progress and programs offered by various activities within the College of Business Administration. Occasionally announcement is made of special events pertinent to the school. The publication of a concise appraisal of upper division elective courses made by the Student Senate was a noteworthy and original effort.
