Honor societies’ image pose)
problems, professor reports
By Todd Riemenschneider
Stati Writer
Because honor societies tend to
have an elitist image, the percentage
of people who are members at Texas
A&M — as well as nationwide — is
low when compared with the num
ber oj people who are eligible to be
come members, an A&M professor
said.
Only 25 percent to 30 percent of
people invited to join honor societies
become members, says Dr. Thomas
Kozik, a professor of mechanical en
gineering.
Kozik said he believes the societies
suffer from a reputation of being
groups reserved for only a few, se
lect people.
“The pity is that the scholastic
honor societies have an elitist back
ground due to students being cho
sen with certain grade-pomi ratios,
Kozik said.
He said he agrees that people are
being assembled into select groups
but believes they are not being
placed in elitist positions.
“They are being singled out but
they are not being pul on a pedes
tal,” he said.
Another area that Kozik sees as a
problem concerns visibility ol the
honor societies.
“Many studenis are unaware and
do not know honor societies exist,
he said.
Kozik said underclassmen should
be exposed to the idea of honor so
cieties early in their academic ca
reers.
“Most of the honor societies are
not advertised very much unul
students are juniors oi senwnl
then it is o! leu too late.” he said I
But Kozik says he thinks htitij
cieties still have a place on (tf
campuses.
"I don't think then tittletsf
he said. “ There is a relevances^
honoi soctetic-s — it is nice loj
others compliment yon foi
work."
Kozik believes any pf
stands out has a respor
help sovietv
“If you excel at anything,' 1 *
supposed to give something!
he said. “Because what you ar(|
what you have done are notj
product of you, but the prodiil
many others.”
About 1,200 bidders attend
Connally bankruptcy sale
HOUSTON (AP) — Tears
streaked the face of former Gov.
John Connally at the opening of a
bankruptcy auction where sales of
his belongings fetched $22,500 for a
fake painting and $500 for an ash
tray.
About 1,200 bidders gave a stand
ing ovation when the former I S.
treasury secretary and his wife, Nel
lie, arrived Friday.
Connally, 70, filed personal and
business bankruptcy petitions in
July. He listed liabilities of >93 mil
lion, although he says his debt now is
about half that. The auc tions are ex
pected to raise between $1 million
and S2 million.
Connally, who was governor of
Texas from 1963-69, shook several
hands as he walked into Houston’s
Hart Gallery and said he was pleased
with the turnout.
As the bidding started, tears
rolled down Connallv's face. But he
quickly recovered and kept an un
lighted cigar in Ins mouth as he
watched the auction.
Jetrv Moore, a Houston ch \ri
opei, said he paid $16,000 l<>r ( on
