Knobel, direc tor of the Honors Program, said. “We have the Placement Center,” Knobel said, “but many employers, particularly desirable employers, are not interested in looking at students who have below a 3.25 or 3.5 GPR.” Knobel said when employers go through the Texas A&M Career Planning and Placement Center they often have to wade through hun dreds of people before finding any they would be interested in hiring. To help conserve the time and en ergy of both the employer and the students, two corporations in partic ular have opted to use the Honors Program in their search, Knobel said. These corporations, Exxon and Arco, asked the Honors Program of fice this fall to help them identify students who have participated in honors courses, Knobel said. “They come to us and say, ‘We want students who have at the very least a 3.0 GPR, preferably a 3.5, and we’d like to look atjuniors and se niors with the following ma jors. . ” he said. “This is something we are able to do for them no other agency on “We have the Placement Center but many employ ers, particularly desirable employers, are not inter ested in looking at stu dents who have below a 3.25 or 3.5 GPR.” — Dale T. Knobel, director of A&M Honors Program. campus really can,” Knobel said. “We don’t have to reveal somebody’s exact GPR; we can’t do that. How ever, we’re not breeching any confi dence when we say, ‘Here are stu dents who are in chemical engineering taking honors courses and who therefore have at least a 3.0 GPR.’ ” The Honors Program office can give out only what Knobel referred to as “directory information.” This includes such things as names, local addresses and whether they are in volved in the Honors Program — es sentially schedule information. “The result of this is that word has gotten around both these corpora tions that when they send hiring teams out in the future, they’re going to make contact with us (at the Honors Program Office),” Knobel said. “This produces another advan tage to taking honors courses when ever possible.” Knobel said the Honors Program now is looking for ways in which it can let employers know this service is available to them. Several employers have requested a resume book of students involved in the Honors Program. But Knobel said the Honors Program is not al lowed to do put out such a book and, therefore, the employers will have to continue receiving the honors pro gram information directly through the office. However, the Honors Student Council — a volunteer organization composed of honor students — is putting a resume book together, he said. This book will consist of re sumes of honor students who wish to have theirs included. “This is at the student’s choice,” Knobel said. “Now we’ll have some thing to show employers which will provide more information about stu dents involved in the Honors Pro gram.” Knobel said this process is not well established, but is just getting star ted.“We’re not trying to take over any functions of the Placement Cen ter,” he said. “We see this as second ary to what they do — a service to both students and employers with rigid GPR standards.” INS indicts three on charges of immigration conspiracy EL PASO (AP) — A farm labor contractor, his secretary and a no tary public have been indicted on charges of conspiring to provide false immigration papers to INS agents posing as farmworkers who wanted amnesty. Tomas Reyes Esparza Sr., 54; his secretary, Carmen Palacios, 21; and notary public Martha Cruz, 24, all of El Paso, were named in a federal grand jury indictment unsealed Monday. Reyes and Palacios were ar rested Friday and appeared Monday before a U.S. magistrate. Cruz was arrested Tuesday morning and was waiting to appear before a magis trate. The indictment charges Reyes with agreeing to provide fraudulent immigration documents for two Im migration and Naturalization Serv ice agents for $2,290. It accuses the two women of fraudulently helping the agents through various steps of the amnesty application process, in cluding getting medical exams, pro viding records and preparing for questions INS officials might ask. Under the Immigration Control Act of 1986, farmworkers who en tered the United States illegally are eligible for amnesty from deporta tion if they worked in the United States at least 90 days between May 1, 1985, and May 1, 1986. Those who are granted amnesty are given temporary residence permits, and they eventually may apply for U.S. citizenship. A1 Giugni, INS district director, declined comment on the charges. Last month, he said the agency was investigating several farm labor con tractors who were suspected of sell ing fraudulent documents to illegal aliens. U.S. Magistrate Phillip Cole or dered Reyes held without bond pen ding a hearing Thursday. Palacios E osted $10,000 bail and was re used. The three are charged with one count each of conspiring to obtain documents for temporary residency status by making false statements and one count each of conspiring to obtain false INS documents while under oath. Palacios is charged with a count of making a false statement to federal authorities. Cruz is charged with two counts of making false statements.
