Six years of maintaining high
itandards has paid off for the Cap
|nd Gown Society.
Ann Stehling, president of Cap
in d Gown, a senior honor society,
;a id the Texas A&M University
Wer has been accepted to
dortar Board, and will be officially
nstalled in April
Stehling, a marketing major from
Rio Hondo, said a minimum GPR of
i25 is required for membership in
lap and Gown. The 32 chapter
lembers also provide services such
s placement seminars for job
bing seniors.
Last year the Cap and Gown So
lely applied for affiliation with
dortar Board, Stehling said.
Toby Rives, sponsor of the local
hapter of Cap and Gown, said
lortar Board is a nationally recog-
ized organization made up of
enior honor societies like Cap and
Exxon chief
says oil crisis
not imminent
Gaining membership to Mortar
Board is a distinct honor for Texas
A&M s Cap and Gown Society, said
Rives. The Mortar Board is con
cerned with three principles: lead
ership, scholarship and service.”
I he acceptance into Mortar
Board is evidence that Texas A&M’s
scholastic standards arc recognized
nationally,” said Cap and Gown ad
visor David Benson.
To meet a Mortar Board require
ment, Cap and Gown had to be a
recognized campus organization for
five years. Rives said. The Texas
A&M chapter also had to maintain
certain scholastic standards and
provide service projects for other
students.
Last spring, the expansion coor
dinator for Mortar Board, Marylu
McEwen, toured the campus and
evaluated the performance of Cap
and Gown.
McEwen said she was impressed
with what she saw. ‘‘The Texas
A&M Cap and Gown Society re
flects the sort of campus organiza
tion which we want in Mortar
Board,” she said.
The Mortar Board sent a notice of
acceptance to Cap and Gown last
December, but Stehling said her
group will be officially installed
April 8, in a ceremony at Texas
A&M.
The Cap and Gown Society will
pay the Mortar Board $250 for an
installation fee. Individual members
will pay $20 to join Mortar Board.
Other Texas schools affiliated
with Mortar Board are: Baylor,
TCU, North Texas State, SMU,
Texas Tech, Trinity, TWU, the
University of Houston and the Uni
versity of Texas.
“It’s important to be affiliated
with the Mortar Board because our
chapter can exchange ideas with
other chapters, and that will help in
the development of new programs,”
Stehling said.

DETROIT — Dollar-a-gallon
aline pump prices are not immi
nt in the United States despite
in chaos in the Iranian oil fields,
foon Chairman C.C. Garvin said.
iGarvin said Tuesday the oil cutoff
jbm Iran, which accounts for about
Ipercent of total U.S. oil imports,
"uldbe offset through effective fuel
mservation measures and the de-
jopment of alternative energy
urces.
“This is not a crisis. It is not
nic situation,” Garvin told re-
rters before a luncheon appear-
ce at the Economic Club of De-
lit But it is a time for eonserva-
n.”
Garvin said, however, the ever-
anging developments in Iran’s
litical situation make the outlook
certain.
It’s too early to know what will
jppen in Iran,” he said. “We just
t know what the willingness of
new Iranian government will be
jrestore production. If oil workers
even willing to go back to the
l^s in Iran, it will be a couple of
tbs before production is up.
^fe said it is possible Iran will re-
Jce — or even cut off — oil alloca-
ns to the United States after pro-
ction resumes.
Garvin said talk of rationing,
nday gas station shutdowns and
1-a-gallon pump prices are prema-
Te.
11 don t look for this $l-a-gallun
?> he said, disputing a recent
Miction by Sen. Henry Jackson
■-Wash). “That’s down the road
lays,”
Noting that oil imports have dou-
jd s >nce the 1973 embargo, Gar-
Isaid the United States is its own
ffst enemy.
->arvin said Americans learned
|thing from the 1973 Arab Oil em-
1 and still “use gas products ir-
itionally.”
