CHAPTERS IN ACTIONThe Philippine Alpha chapter at the University of the Philippines upgraded the support fund for its professorial chair to a million pesos, including P50,000 for immediate awarding to the chair holder. The donation was turned over to the University of the Philippines Foundation, Inc., in ceremonies at Quezon Hall. The donor was represented by the chapter president, Professor Luisa T. Camagay, and the UP Foundation by its chairman, President Emerlinda R. Roman. The signing of the donation agreement was witnessed by UP Chancellor Sergio Cao, UP Foundation executive director Gerardo Agulto, UP College of Social Sciences and Philosophy Dean Michael Tan, and Pi Gamma Mu officials Elena Pernia and Eliseo de Guzman. The Pi Gamma Mu Professorial Chair was established by the UP Board of Regents in 1985 and has been awarded over the years to social-sciences faculty members in recognition of their outstanding academic performance (teaching, research, and extension service). With the upgrade of this professorial chair's fund, the honor society raises the bar of contributing to university life by constituent and support organizations. The Pennsylvania Alpha Nu chapter at Holy Family University is thankful to State Senator Mike Stack for securing a $1.3 million capital-budget grant for its library-renovation project. Dr. Stephen Medvec, chapter sponsor, takes a group of students to the State Capitol in Harrisburg, Penn., each year for "Student Lobby Day" and meets with Senator Stack during this annual event.
