Office helps employers
locate honors students
By Amy Young
Reporter
Employers who only want to hire
students with high grade-point ra
tios can consult Texas A&M’s Hon
ors Program office to locate these
students, Dr. Dale T. 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.
