Chi Alpha Mu is the national mathematics club for junior high and upper-middle-school students. The Greek letters stand for Creative Adventures in Mathematics-the goal of the organization. Chi Alpha Mu is the brainchild of Sarah M. Burkhart, who initiated the program in three schools in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1967. By 1978 there were sixty-five clubs in about a dozen states and nearly sixty-three hundred members. The group affiliated with NCTM about that time. Sarah Burkhart's death last April left a void, but Jack Skelton, Instructional Assistant for Secondary Mathematics, Tulsa Public Schools, P.O. Box 45208, Tulsa, OK 74145, has agreed to coordinate the administrative affairs of the national office. Inquiries to Jack Skelton will be answered with a public-relations kit providing information on goals, rules, dues, and benefits.
