Student Government Alliance First Hull : M. Wolff, W. Stattcr, J. Barker. Second Row: D. Klein, A. Poklis, A. Riley. Overall, the 1967-68 .school year was a successful one for the Student Government Alliance. Begmning with a list of resolutions, (several of which were accepted) and ending with an amendment to the constitution, our achievements also included a successful Fall Frolic, Honors Convocation, and Spring Picnic. I feel, however, that our most significant accomplishment was the formation of an active Greek Letter Council. This marked a great step forward in inter-fratemity cooperation and understanding. As in the past, the Executive Council served as a central meeting place for students to air their complaints. It is significant, however, that more often than not these complaints were felt justified by the administration, and corrective measures were introduced. It has been a distinct honor for me this past year to have been President of the Student Government Alliance. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Executive Council for their help and support this year. Without them, nothing could have been accomplished. I would like also to extend my sincere wishes for many more successful years for the SGA. President, W. Statter 23

Rko Chi Society First Row: L. Howard, L. Block, H. Sohmer, J. Ricci, Dr. A. Liebmai Frank J. Slama, Dr. J. Leslie, Dr. F. Miller, Dr. N. Foss. Second Rote: Dr. C. Ic-hniowski, Dr. The Rho Chi Society was fonned in 1922, with Omicron Chapter at the University of Maryland having been founded and chartered in 1930. Since this time, it has functioned actively to promote the advancement of the pharmaceutical sciences through the encour- agement of recognition of intellectual scholar- ship, to promote scholarly fellowship, and to encourage pharmaceutical research. Admission into the Society is by election and is considered to be the highest distinct honor that can be bestowed upon a phannacy student. Essential qualities of the Rho Chi members include character, scholarship, lead- ership and service. The high standards main- tained for membership in Rho Chi have resulted in the general recognition of the Society, not only by phannacy but by aca- demic circles generally. The Society is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies. Rho Chi is an active Society providing immediate stimulus to undergraduate scholar- ship and also to interest students in graduate studies. Regular meetings and other activities empha- size the professional aspects of phannacy and point the way to instnictive study and research. It sei-ves to bring undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty members together in fraternal and helpful association. By such means, Rho Chi seeks to increase the awareness of the ethical and social respon- sibilities of the profession and to enhance its prestige. 25
