SOCIETY OF PHYSICS STUDENTS Muhlenberg’s Society of Physics Students is a campus or ganiza- tion dedicated to the advancement and appreciation of the science of physics. The Society has members who are students in the physics department, as well as in other majors. During the 1974-75 academic year, the Society has sponsored bi- weekly colloquiums. Topics for discussion have come from all branches of the physical sciences, presented by films and lectures, from student research, physics department faculty interests, and from outsiders in the field. Each year, the SPS schedule of events is culminated by a spring picnic at Cedar Park, attended by society members and the phy- sics faculty. A close rapport has developed in the physics department between faculty and students, largely due to the efforts of the SPS, and beneficial to all concerned. 26
