Caplan, S.; Crooks, C; Jones, U.; VViatrak, E. A. Pk. A M.P.A. Student Branch Ihc Student Br.uuh of the A.Ph.A.-M.P.A. has as its prime interests this year the professional aspects of pharmacy and the pharmacist ' s role in his profession. The vear began with the chapter ' s participa tion in National Pharmacy Week. long with other activities, the chapter had Dr. Samuel Fox as a guest lecturer, speaking on the topic The Future of Pharmacy. Later the same month, during Community I lealth Week, the director of Eastawai Laboratories spoke on some of the problems of toxicology and the ability of the pharmacist to assist with the efforts in poison control. Other speakers during the year discussed topics ranging from mutagenic potential of com- mon drugs to the problems of drugs in dermatology. This year also presented an opportunity for the chapter to take part in a regional meeting, which was held at the College Park campus. In addition, a delegation represented the chapter at the national convention, held this year in Montreal. Since this con ention was concerned with possible restructuring of the student chap- ters, and since next year ' s national meeting is to be held in Washington, the con ention is especially important to the University of Mar ' land. 26
