American Institute of Physics FROM LEFT: Ed Murphy — Advisor; Levant Morton; Don Thayer; John Hogan; Angelo Stabile; Ron OIo- win — President; Bob Klemetsmo; Thomas Sundy. Properly corresponding to the modern American movement towards the develop- ment of the natural sciences, the Gannon College Student Section of the American Institute of Physics was organized chiefly for the advancement of Physics. This year, the members organized a Physics Sympo- sium for high school students in the sur- rounding area who were inclined towards the sciences, especially Physics. The object of the symposium was to introduce the high school student to the world of Physics, its needs, ideals, and enthusiasms. A second- ary objective of the meeting was to ac- quaint the student with the Physics pro- gram here at Gannon, with the aim being to interest him in our present curriculum and ultimately, the college itself. While in- troducing students to the modern world of Physics, with its Laser Devices and X-Ray Spectroscopy, it also served in summoning future physicists to the college, and hope- fully to the membership of the Institute itself. 28

American Chemical Society The Gannon College Chemistry Club is a chapter of student affiliates of the American Chemical Society. Through it, students in chemistry and related fields are given a sense of belonging to a professional society in which they will also participate after graduation. In its short history at Gannon, the Chemistry Club has become an active organization on and off campus. Under the very capable guidance of Dr. Gert Schlessinger, faculty advisor, the club has been cited once as one of the top 30 in the nation. From the beginning, Mercyhurst College has been in close cooperation with the club and plans are being made to explore cooperation with other area colleges. Members of this society in the future can hope to experi- ence a true spirit of being an active part of the migration into the frontiers of science. 1 J ■Vi k J -1 r 17 1 $ 1 m ■ 1:; f Ik JjJII f I' ■ r ' ■ — t • -,, , — V. - - FROM LEFT.

American Marketing Association The American Marketing Association is in its first year on the Gannon campus. The purpose of the Club is to promote and foster an interest and development in the field of marketing. Under the guidance of the Sale Executive Club of Erie, the A.M. A. hopes to establish firm and lasting contacts in the fields of industrial and retail marketing. The Marketing Association invited to Gannon some of the most successful and prominent businessmen in Erie to lecture. It also has coordinated plans with the Erie Chapter of the Sales Execu- tive Club to attend their monthly evening meetings at various places. The long-range plans of the American Marketing Association are to inaugurate events such as business day at Gannon. The goal of this day would be to acquaint underclassmen at the college with the various opportunities available to them in the world of business. Another entertained idea for the future is affiliation with a national marketing fraternity which is sponsored by the National Sales Executive Club. A bright and successful future is in store for the American Marketing Association at Gan- mister measen lectures non. 29
