Q AMA The Student American Medical As- sociation is an autonomous organization oper- ated independently by its members. Member- ship is voluntary and includes medical students, interns, and residents. With more than 60,000 active and affiliated members in 80 medical schools throughout the United States, SAMA is the largest student medical association in the world. The purpose of the Association as defined in the Constitution . . . is to advance the profession of medi- cine, to contribute to the welfare and education of medi- cal students, interns, and residents, to familiarize its members with the purposes and ideals of organized medicine, and to prepare its members to meet the social, moral and ethical obligations of the profession of medi- cinef' Through annual Scientific Forums, Exhibits and Meetings, and the publication of the NEW PHYSICIAN, SAMA fulfills this plupose and serves as the voice of the nation for the young physician in training. In addition, SAMA provides strong liaison committees to officially represent its members among such groups as the Associa- tion of American Medical Colleges, the American Hospital Association, the American Medical Association, and the National Intern Matching Plan. Our local chapter was formed in 1957 at the Seton Hall College of Medicine, and in the past decade has grown to include about 802 of the student body as mem- bers. Throughout this period, we have attempted to unify the student body, to represent it at regional and national meetings, and to provide active association with state and local medical organizations. Local service programs in- clude the dissemination of educational material, micro- scrope and book exchanges, an active Woman's Auxil- iary, and publication of the student directory. To round out our local activities, SAMA sponsors a variety of social affairs. These include the annual Golden Apple Dinner, the annual Christmas Dance, and student- faculty picnics. This year we added the publication of THE CHART, our local newsletter, and the establish- ment of a SAMA Scholarship to our other activities. fvrff-ff OFFICERS Lt. to Rt., Frcmt-VVILLIAM MROCZEK, Editor-THE CHART, ARTHUR E.

rn vor. II Number 2 rut CHART Q y ll lji .- THE CHART, the oiiicial newsletter of the New Jer- sey College of Medicine chapter of the Student American Medical Association, since its inception in 1964 has served as the collective voice of the student body of the college. Springing from a desire to improve the lines of com- munication between the faculty-administration and the students, it has been well received by both faculty and students alike as a welcome substitution for the rumor system . Written and edited by an enthusiastic core of students with a Hair for journalism, it has candidly voiced comment upon a multitude of vital issues when it was felt that the best interests of both student and school were concerned. During the turbulence of transition from a private to a state institution, THE CHART chronicled situations and events and conveyed lucid analyses in an attempt to establish a well-informed stu- dent body. Initiated as a cornmunique of facts, it has expanded its efforts to student services, class and club news and announcements and biographical sketches of instructors- fx MISS M. NOWACKI, Typist.
