The APS meeting began on Sunday, May 15 when the Executive Committee met, and ran through Thursday, May 19. The scientific sessions began in full force on Monday, May 16, and during the week there were 11 symposia sessions, six workshops and 16 sessions of contributed papers, with six of the latter presented in the well-received poster format. In addition, there were the usual business and luncheon meetings which brought the total program session count to 49 to complete the five conference days. Serving as delegates to the APhA House of Delegates were the following APS members: Gilbert S. Banker, Purdue University; James C. Boylan, Eli Lilly and Company; Patrick P. Deluca, University of Kentucky; James T. Doluisio, University of Texas; Lloyd Kennon, APhA-APS; Roy Kuramoto, Syntex Corporation; and George Zografi, University of Wisconsin.

Awards Presented
Four persons were honored for their outstanding work in the pharmaceutical field. The two APhA Foundation-APS Research Achievement Awards were conferred upon Jens T. Carstensen and louis S. Harris. Dr. Carstensen, the recipient of last year's Ebert Prize and a professor of pharmaceutics at the University of Wisconsin, received the Research Achievement Award in Pharmaceutics. Dr. Harris, a professor of pharmacology at the Medical College of Virginia, received the Research Achievement Award for Pharmacology. The awards, consisting of $1,000 and a certificate, are sponsored by Syntex Corporation (pharmaceutics) and Eli Lilly and Company (pharmacology). John J. Sciarra, Executive Dean of the Arnold and Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, received the Industrial Pharmaceutical "Technology Section's IPT Award, which is sponsored by the G.D. Searle Company. The award was given in recognition of Dr. Sciarra's contributions to pharmaceutical research, particularly in the area of aerosol technology, and in recognition of his leadership in industrial pharmaceutical education. The award was presented at the IPT luncheon meeting by John Griffin of The Upjohn Company and chairman of the IPT Award Committee.

Eli Lilly and Company, was named the Ebert Prize winner in recognition of his work on nitroglycerin tablets. His studies were published in a paper entitled "Vapor Pressure of Nitroglycei'in in Sublingual Molded Tablets: Implications for Stability," which appeared in the September 1976 issue of the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences. The award consists of an inscribed medal and certificate. Receiving Honorable Mention Certificates were Dr. Pikal's co-workers, Anita L. Lukes and Dr. lee Floyd Ellis. Joint Symposia
"The Use of Raw Materials of Natural Origin" was the title of a symposium held Monday morning, May 16, co-sponsored by "the Industrial Pharmaceutical Technology and Pharmacognosy and Natural Products Sections. The use of such materials-mostly as excipients-was considered by discussing those factors which have an effect on the natural products themselves and hence on the properties of the finished formulation. Use of natural products in solid, semisolid and liquid forms was explicitly considered, and overall quality control matters were not overlooked. "The Environment for Pharmaceutical
