EFFICIENCY A calendar is sent out each year from the Central Office giving a chart of the sorority's activities and the dates upon which reports and letters are due.

The collegiate chapter president is responsible for more points of her chapter's efficiency than any other member of the chapter. As explained in the Handbook, she sends to the Central Office 8 monthly letters, 3 reports, 2 budget sheets, 2 calendars and a set of officers' reports, a total of 16 items. If all are sent on time the president would earn 32 points for her chapter.

Last year five presidents had a perfect score: Theta, Ba,rbara Jameson ; Lambda, Patricia Shunk; Pi, Mary Grace Krieger ; Upsilon, Helen Stephenson ; Psi, Mary Gertrude Dreisbach.

The treasurer sends all pledge and initiation fees to the National Treasurer as well as semester dues and Life Membership payments. She sends contributions to the Loan Fund Chairman; monthly and semester reports to the National Treasurer. If all are sent promptly, and all members are in good standing in June, the treasurer receives 34 points.

Two treasurers had perfect scores last year: Lambda, Irene Wunderlick ; Omicron, Betty McArdle.

The editor sends contributions to three editions of THE ANCHOR. The National Editor gives points for contributions based on promptness and content.

The vice-president is responsible for sending scholastic grades to the .'\wards Chairman each year.

REPORT OF THE PROGRAM COMMITTEE MARY ALICE PETERSO

The topic fo r the year's study was Personality. Because the national program materials and outlines sent to the collegiate chapters fo r the past four years have not been widely used, no plans were sent for 1944-45. On her fall inspection trip M rs. Staehle stressed the national cultural program and found that the idea is growing and gradually taking root. Many of the chapters had programs this past year based on the national topic.

I attended the council meeting in Columbus in March . The prooram plans were discussed and definite deci sions were made, which will be put into effect this fall. I am now working on the plans for 1945-46 and shall send material and suggestions to the collegiate chapter thi fall.

The last of March I went to funcie , Indiana to as i t in pledoing the new chapter there. I also accompanied Ruth Maher to T rre Haut in the intere ts of organizing.
