The St. Thomas More Law Society ' s function is to provide information to pre-law students concerning law practice as well as law schools. The society therefore invites members of the legal community, particularly representatives from law schools to ad- dress the membership. These speakers usually provide information on getting into law school. In recent years, the current year being no exception, the number of students desiring to attend law school has been phenomenal. In light of this fact, law schools are finding it unnecessary to recruit outstanding applicants. Despite this, the society has been able to attract several speakers. Among these have been Dr. J. Goldner from St. Louis University; a student representative from Harvard University; an alumnus of Notre Dame University; and a La Salle graduate, William Deiss who is a first year student at Cornell. Also, in cooperation with the University of Pennsylvania, La Salle students were invited to hear the dean of Santa Clara Law School at Penn. The La Salle collegiate branch of the American Marketing Association is an organization aimed at bringing together students with a common interest, a career in marketing. Its various activi- ties this year included: guest lecturers, one of which was Mr. Robert Ehlinger, former general manager of the Philadelphia Atoms, a marketing film series and professionally sponsored Mar- keting Forums. Ytl The Society for Advancement of Management, the recognized national professional organization of man- agers was established in 1912 and has over 200 members in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Iraq. The objectives of S.A.M. are to provide a link between the theoretical training of the college and the practical world of business and management by bringing together business executives and business students, to provide the students with the opportunity to plan the activities of the Society, and to serve as an effective medium for the exchange of information on management and in- dustry. Features of the Society ' s diversified programs are seminars, plant tours, films, senior placement, and ca- reer conferences. Joshua Buch Prafulla [oglekar Bernard Goldner Edward Domineske

Business The Accounting Association is a professional business organization of accounting students attempting to bridge the gap existent between accounting theory, as learned in the classroom, and accounting application, as performed in the business world. The way the Association does this is by presenting to the accounting students of La Salle College speakers from three main fields of accounting: public, industrial, and governmental. In presenting these speakers, it is the hope of the Association that the student of accounting begins to see its practicality. Besides being a business organization, the Association is also a social one. Annual social events are sponsored by the Association, such as Beef n ' Beer Night and a spring banquet. It is the feeling of the Accounting Association that one grows in knowledge, maturity, and stature not only in the classroom but also outside the classroom among friends. The Accounting Association affords the accounting students of La Salle College this opportunity. John Reardon George Swayer David Fleming
