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.
