The National Scene Historic Precedence: Peering Beyond the Horizon

by B. J. Alexander Grand President

A

s I survey the national scene this year, I am struck by the long and distinguished history of Phi Eta Sigma. Our organization has benefited from a series of dedicated men and women whose work has made Phi Eta Sigma what it is today.

These academic professionals exhibit credentials that are impeccable, integrity that is absolute, and a commitment to students that is unquestioned.

sity of Illinois on March 22, 1923. Dr. Clark was professor of English, rhetoric, and Latin and later dean of undergraduate students. By 1928 Phi Eta Sigma, consisting of seven chapters, held its first national convention and elected Dr. Clark Grand President. Serving with distinction until his death in 1932, President Clark was the driving force behind Phi Eta Sigma during its founding years.

Several events prompted my thinking along these lines at this time. First is the death of Dean Gaylord Hatch, Grand Historian Emeritus, from the University of Illinois. Jack and Marge Sagabiel share their personal remembrances of Gaylord in an article elsewhere in the Forum. I simply wish to acknowledge the major contribution to Phi Eta Sigma that Gaylord made during his tenure. I remember fondly his now legendary addresses to national conventions. His remarks were charming, witty, and intellectually provocative. He was my friend, and I will miss him.

Grand Historian Dr. Kyle Sessions, now retired from Illinois State University, in his history of the first seventy-five years of Phi Eta Sigma, said of Clark:

Second is the death of Dr. Karlem Riess, Grand President Emeritus, from Tulane University, where he had a distinguished career as a professor of physics. Jack Sagabiel recalls “Ducky” elsewhere in the Forum. Although Karlem lived a long and productive life, it was, I think, cut short as a result of the trauma associated with Hurricane Katrina, which struck New Orleans so savagely last year. I remember Karlem for his sense of history and his no-nonsense approach to life. He was my friend, and I will miss him.

I believe that Dr. Clark would have been pleased to see that his values remain the cornerstone of Phi Eta Sigma.

The third event is commemorated on the cover of this issue of the Forum: this pen and ink drawing depicts Dr. Thomas Arkle Clark, who was one of the founders of Phi Eta Sigma at the Univer-

2

“…he had established as his duty to instill in students’ minds the ideals, standards, and character necessary for achievement in college and after. He especially understood the difficulties encountered by college students during their first year and the importance of recognizing scholastic achievement early in the student’s academic career.”

The portrait of Dr. Clark is a gift from Dr. Alan Glos, associate dean for administrative advising at Colgate University and son of Dr. Ray Glos, who was a member of the first Executive Committee and who later served as Grand Treasurer from 1936 until his death in 1988. Dr. Alan Glos says that the portrait hung in his parents’ home as far back as he could remember.

Now, thanks to his generosity and thoughtfulness, the portrait of Dr. Clark hangs in our national office.

Receiving and displaying Dr. Clark’s portrait could not have come at a more appropriate time. This year FORUM of Phi Eta Sigma, Volume LXXVI, 2006

This 1926 photograph, taken in front of the University of Illinois administrative building, features (left to right) Fred Turner, Dr. Clark, J. G. Thomas, and Ray Glos. These fellows, as well as Herb Smith, were student employees in Dr. Clark’s office. Fred, Ray, and Herb would hold national office in Phi Eta Sigma for their entire professional careers.

Phi Eta Sigma initiates its annual $10,000 Thomas Arkle Clark Leader-Scholar award. This recognition will go to the member who, in the judgment of our Scholarship Committee, best exemplifies the ideals of Phi Eta Sigma. As a former member and chair of that committee, I am well aware of the large number of superior applications we receive each year, but the task of the Committee will be to identify that one person whose academic work, campus leadership, and service to Phi Eta Sigma are the most outstanding and who would therefore merit an award so prestigious that it carries the Clark name.

Plans for 2006-07 also include the awarding of five first-year graduate endowed scholarships at $5,000 each, thirty-one undergraduate endowed scholarships at $3,000 each, and seventy-two undergraduate awards of $1,000 each for a grand total of $200,000. A dozen years ago we awarded only $37,000. This dramatic increase is in no small way connected to the work of Dr. Jack Sagabiel, who has enthusiastically promoted Phi Eta Sigma and wisely managed our resources. Jack, thanks from all of us.

The final thought I wish to share with you regarding the history of Phi Eta Sigma is the continuity of

The National Scene ‘Ducky’–The Journey of John Karlem Reiss (1913-2005)

by John W. Sagabiel Grand Secretary-Treasurer leadership that Phi Eta Sigma has enjoyed from its inception. As an organization, we have benefited from the longevity of our original officers and Executive Committee. You might find of some interest the historic photo of Thomas Arkle Clark, Ray Glos, Fred Turner, and J. G. Thomas, standing in front of the Illinois Administration Building and included in this section. The list of our past leaders is too long to mention everyone, but I would like to note that Dr. James Foy, Secretary-Treasurer Emeritus, became part of the group in 1950, and Dr. Jack Sagabiel joined the ranks in 1974. Although only a small number of us now remember and worked with such distinguished men as Ray Glos, Jim Foy, and Karlem Riess, all of us are privileged to know Jack Sagabiel, who remains our link to the past. As we celebrate our history and benefit from our continuity of leadership, we are blessed to have already in place those who will succeed us and continue the tradition of excellence of Phi Eta Sigma. q

John Karlem Reiss (1913-2005)

A

number of years ago, a young seventh grade lad transferred to the Isidore Newman School on the campus of Tulane University. The young lad was John Karlem Riess. As he was walking to the Tulane University campus school one morning, a fellow classmate said, “You walk like a duck.

Quack, Quack.” From then on, the young lad was known as “Ducky.”

FORUM of Phi Eta Sigma, Volume LXXVI, 2006

“Ducky” earned his undergraduate degree at Tulane University in 1933 and his master’s in 1935.

He received his doctorate in physics from Brown University in 1943 and began his teaching career at Tulane.

Upon returning to the Tulane campus, “Ducky” devoted his professional career to sharing his campus-wide fellowship with Tulane students. His Phi Eta Sigma leadership began with the chartering of the Tulane University chapter in 1954. He continued to share his special leadership touch with the Tulane chapter until 1996.

He served thirty-eight years as faculty adviser to the Tulane Interfraternity Council and, after his retirement from the liberal arts and sciences faculty in 1983, he joined the staff of student affairs.

In addition to Phi Eta Sigma, “Ducky” remained actively involved with the honor societies of Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa and with his social fraternity Phi Kappa Sigma. He was twice national president of Omicron Delta Kappa and was a member of long standing of the Phi Beta Kappa senate.

Student delegates attending the Purdue University national convention in 1968 elected “Ducky” to the national Phi Eta Sigma Executive Committee. He continued to serve on the Executive Committee as a member, vice president, president, and president emeritus until his passing in 2005.

FORUM of Phi Eta Sigma, Volume LXXVI, 2006

Phi Eta Sigma is but one of several honor societies and organizations to benefit from and recognize “Ducky’s” local and national leadership. He was the recipient of the Phi Eta Sigma Distinguished Service Award in 1974, and in 1998 on the occasion of our 75th anniversary celebration, our Society dedicated and funded the Karlem Riess endowed national undergraduate scholarship.

In a tribute to “Ducky” on the Tulane University website, Dr. Martha Sullivan, former Tulane vice president for student affairs and “Ducky’s” longtime colleague and friend, shared the comment that he had an incredible ability to connect with students.

He had a remarkable memory, and he never forgot a name or a face or a detail about a person. He had this wonderful way of knowing about people and their families and the achievements of each student.

The Tulane website tribute reported that “Ducky” passed away during the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina at the age of 92. He and his sister were rescued from rising water from their Audubon Street home. He had been ill and was in a particularly fragile state. A makeshift hospital at the New Orleans airport could not meet his needs. He passed away in transit to a hospital in Shreveport.

“Ducky” touched lives. He generously shared the best he had to offer and did it freely.

Rest In Peace. q

The National Scene

In Remembrance Dean Gaylord F. Hatch 1923-2004

by John and Marge Sagabiel

W

e first met Gaylord and Miriam Hatch during the Phi Eta Sigma Golden Anniversary Convention hosted by our founding chapter on the campus of the University of Illinois March 25-27, 1973. Marge and Miriam were to become wonderful friends, working at future conventions and sightseeing during their free time. Miriam still lives in our memories.

Dean and Mrs. Gaylord Hatch Dean Hatch graduated from Champaign (Illinois) High School at a critical time for military service during World War II. He served with valor and distinction as a navy medic attached to the Marines during island invasions in the Pacific Area of Operations. He married his high school sweetheart Miriam Fletcher in 1944.

Dean Hatch earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Illinois prior to beginning his long tenure there. His administrative service at the university included a leadership role in the office of the dean of men and for a quarter century as assistant dean in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

His campus and national higher education contributions are legion. On campus Gaylord touched every life with whom he came in contact. He helped found the Volunteer Illini Project in 1963, and the project is still growing today.

The program was recognized in 1983 at a White House dinner attended by Dean Hatch. He also served for two decades as adviser to the Evans Scholar House on the Illinois campus.

Dean Hatch was a long-time supporter of Phi Eta Sigma prior to beginning his chapter adviser leadership in 1968. He was elected to

the Executive Committee by student delegates attending the Auburn University convention in 1974. With the passing of Fred Turner in 1975, Gaylord was elected Grand Historian. The 1982 Indiana University convention noted Gaylord’s reputation and, in high regard for his fellowship, awarded him the Society’s Distinguished Service Award. In 1998, student delegates attending the 75th Anniversary Convention funded the Gaylord F. Hatch Endowed Scholarship in recognition of his many years of Society leadership. Many feel his greatest joy was the funding of the Miriam Hatch Scholarship at the University of Illinois College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Gaylord continued to serve as University of Illinois chapter adviser until 1994.

That year student delegates attending the Texas Tech national convention elected him Grand Historian Emeritus.

Dean Gaylord F. Hatch passed away at his home in Champaign, Illinois, on December 18, 2004. He is survived by his sons and their wives: Terry and DiAnne Hatch of Mahomet, Illinois, and Gregory and Katherine Hatch of Champaign, Illinois; five grandchildren: Peter and Augustus Hatch of Mahomet; Nick Hatch of Chicago, Illinois; Erin Czajkowski of Oxford,

New Paltz, New York May 15, 2005

T

he State University of New York at New Paltz is an exciting blend of tradition and vision.

At its educational core is the ever-present belief in the importance of a liberal arts education. This served as the guiding principle at the time the university was founded in 1828 and continues to aid in the preparation of students for transition into the global community today. Equally important is the commitment to the growth of the student – intellectually, culturally, and socially. Throughout its

history, New Paltz has led the way in the development of significant innovations, not the least of which has been its dedication to providing an international focus to all areas of its curriculum.

Between the founding of the university and the establishment of the present 216-acre campus, many historic changes took place. In 1828 a school for the teaching of classics was founded.

In 1885 the school had evolved into the State

The initial inquiry requesting chapter chartering information was made by Heather Mangione.

From that point Dr. Jeff Miller, director of the Honors Programs, began to lay the administrative foundation required to charter the chapter.

In 1947 graduate courses leading to a master’s degree were introduced. The liberal arts program leading to the bachelor of arts degree was initiated in 1960. By 1994 the campus was renamed the State University of New York at New Paltz.

On May 15, 2005, Phi Eta Sigma joined Kappa Delta Pi (chartered in 1946 for education students), Pi Sigma Alpha (chartered in 1979 for political science students), and Phi Sigma Iota (chartered in 1987 for foreign language students) as an officially chartered campus honor society.

Today, the State University of New York at New Paltz has many more programs, facilities, and students than the founders of the classics school could have foreseen in 1828. What has not

ST. MARY’S UNIVERSITY

San Antonio, Texas October 18, 2005

S

t. Mary’s University of San Antonio, Texas—the institution’s corporate name—is an independent (private) co-educational school in the heart of the Southwest and represents the continuation of an educational enterprise dating back to 1852. Currently there are five university schools. Under this organization the university offers a wide selection of courses, ranging from art to theology. The university was founded over a century ago by the Catholic teaching congregation known as the Society of Mary (Marianists). However, throughout the years, college students and faculty members of other faiths have enrolled in university classes or have been appointed to the teaching faculty. For many years, student body and teaching staff have been co-educational. It is characteristic of Marianist education that students and faculty work together in what is termed “a congenial family spirit.” In this atmosphere qualified lay men and lay women, priests, Brothers and Sisters aim to mold students

into intellectually prepared men and women of moral sensibility with the competence to assume the responsibilities of adult life.

Many features of college life and activity combine to impart a distinctive character to St. Mary’s University: the school’s location is in a unique city; its tuition rates are reasonable; it provides various scholarships; and the Financial Aid Office assists qualifying students to meet educational expenses via state and federal programs. There are a variety of religious, cultural, and social clubs to join and activities to select: several instrumental and vocal music ensembles are available to non-music majors as well as majors; there is an ROTC program open to men and women, as well as extensive intramural athletic programs and intercollegiate sport participation in the Heart of Texas Conference. The University Placement Service for students and graduates is held in high regard by employment recruiters.

Charter chapter leaders were well prepared and dedicated to build upon St. Mary’s “congenial family spirit.”

The “Information Technology Project” (ITP) has transformed the campus and made Clayton State a national pioneer in “ubiquitous computing.” Starting in fall 2001, the University entered a new phase called “ITP-Choice,” which maintains the requirement for ubiquitous mobile computing, while giving students the opportunity to purchase notebook computers rather than having the institution supply them.

Although less visible to the eye, Clayton State’s new strategic planning process is an equally important accomplishment of Dr. Harden’s first four years in office. Seven strategic planning themes

have been established for the university—Expand Academic Programs, Financial Stability Aimed at Prosperity, Improve Quality of Instruction, Enrollment Management, Establish Image Marketing/Advertising, Continue Technology Enhanced Programs and Services and Improve Student Life.

Dr. Mark Hovind provided the leadership for the chartering of the Phi Eta Sigma chapter. The induction ceremony for the charter membership was conducted by Dr. Hovind, chapter vice president Elizabeth Vincent, secretary Nymol Ou, and treasurer Lisa Earts.

A

gain this year, local chapters of Phi Eta Sigma have reported their many excellent activities and projects. It is clear that Phi Eta Sigma, through its members, makes a valuable contribution to the recruitment and retention of good students on campuses nationwide. The emphasis on promoting scholarship, exercising strong organizational skills, participation in campus and community help projects, and innovative programs to fit each local campus never fail to impress Forum readers.

Many chapters send in newsletters directed to local members, and these, too, are remarkable for their concept and their execution. Phi Eta Sigma members are making a difference at their schools and among their fellow students, and that difference is for higher standards and citizenship values. Members will certainly continue to make differences in their homes, their communities, and their chosen careers after they leave the campus; and these differences will be to the benefit of families, friends, and fellow citizens. The following are all-too-brief summaries of the reports of chapter of champions’ leadership, activities, and projects sent to the national office by press time.

the imperative skills of interview etiquette. All participants interacted openly with the material covered by Baruch’s resident interview specialist, Heather Krasna. With the exception of induction, the chapter’s biggest even was its first semi-annual college-wide basketball tournament. Students and professors were provided with the opportunity to relieve some stress by way of a friendly post-midterm competition. Participants were encouraged to employ their teamwork skills on the basketball court. Ending the year with a bang, chapter members hosted a holiday bash open to the entire student body.

The Bernard Baruch College chapter of Phi Eta Sigma started off the year with a new administration, which introduced new goals for the academic year. With the hope of creating excitement and awareness of their extracurricular activities, chapter leaders created a calendar of events highlighting the balance between professional and social development. The Bernard Baruch chapter scheduled its first general meeting during the second week of school. Its goal was to train members about

The UCLA chapter officers began another great school year by gathering on September 27, 2005, at the Sunset Recreation Center for their annual officer retreat. The day began with officer introductions over breakfast. Individual positions and responsibilities were reviewed and revised. In addition, a proposal to restructure the executive positions and election process was discussed. Officers became better acquainted and enjoyed the warm California sunshine over a delicious catered lunch. Then, leaders jumped right back to business as they brainstormed activities for the upcoming fall quarter.

The academic event was determined to be Caught Studying, where students are rewarded with a bag of candy if they are found studying around Halloween. The social event will be an ice cream social, while the main service event will be Teamworks, a program to encourage youth to pursue a college education. Throughout the quarter, Phi Eta Sigma members will also help students relocated by Hurricane Katrina become better acquainted with the UCLA campus and lifestyle. Officers wrapped up the afternoon by planning out the annual induction ceremony, which will take place on Sunday, April 23rd. All in all, it was a fun and efficient retreat,

which kicked off the beginning of another promising year. This material was shared with the family of Phi Eta Sigma by Joanne Gwo, chapter historian.

The Catholic University of America chapter touched the lives of approximately seventy-five percent of the eligible first-year students last year.

The fall 2005 induction ceremony was among the highlights of the Family Weekend in late October.

The Florida Atlantic University chapter of Phi Eta Sigma began the school year on a high note by conducting an induction for new members on October 6, 2005. Chapter participation in the local American Heart Walk is a fall tradition for the chapter. The group also adopted a family affected by the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

The Duquesne University chapter celebrated a new member induction ceremony and banquet on April 10, 2005. A total of six hundred members, loved ones, and special guests attended the evening of celebration. Featured projects for the school year include sponsored walks, on-campus events, activities for small children, and activities for senior citizens.

The Gannon University chapter of Phi Eta Sigma has grown significantly in the past year. The chapter’s Executive Board is utilizing more ways to reach out to freshmen and increase their awareness of Phi Eta Sigma. Board members are present at many events and tell freshmen “who we are, what we do, and how they can get involved.” Members hand out the “Hints” study guides and Phi Eta Sigma pens. The awareness gives freshmen an incentive to strive for a high GPA and to join the chapter. Members are encouraged to take an active role in sharing ideas of what they would like to do and what the organization should do. The chapter is involved in many campus wide service events such as GIVE day (Gannon’s Invitation to Volunteer Everywhere), Day of Caring, Hunger and Homelessness Week, Golden Harvest (collecting non-perishable food items for the local food bank), blood drive, Activities Fair, Easter Party for children, and Get Rec’d (a non-alcoholic alternative celebration of St. Patrick Day). Chapter leaders are working with a local insurance company and the Pennsylvania DUI Association to bring a drunk driving simulation course to the Gannon campus to increase awareness of the dangers and consequences of drinking and driving. Chapter fundraisers include a t-shirt sale, a sweatshirt sale, Graduate Fair, candy sale, and Rock the Block. Social events include

a welcome back picnic, Halloween Corn Maze, snowball fight, snowman building, movie night, Late Night Gannon, Christmas card creation, and Mass on the Grass. The annual induction ceremony is well attended, and the parents enjoy seeing the special honor given to their college students.

Another shift of emphasis is that the Gannon University group is becoming more conscious of opportunities to serve the university community and of cooperating with other campus groups in providing service and social opportunities both on and off campus.

This fall’s GIVE day experience included thirty-one energized members providing three hours of cheerful service for the Erie community’s International Institute. The group was happy to be together and then went out afterward to eat lunch. They cleaned fleet automobiles, cleaned up the parking lots, trimmed shrubbery, mowed the lawn, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Phi Eta Sigma is considered one of the most involved and active groups on campus.

The Hofstra University chapter of Phi Eta Sigma enjoyed another great academic year in 2004-2005.

Among their regularly scheduled meetings throughout the fall and spring semesters, they were able to enjoy many events. In addition to a successful induction ceremony in October of 2004, their chapter sent one member to represent Hofstra University at the Phi Eta Sigma national convention in Savannah, Georgia. Shortly after, the chapter successfully participated in the American Heart Association Walk at Nassau Community College, helping to raise money for a great cause. Later that month, they ran a successful Thanksgiving food drive and donated all non-perishable food items to the Island Harvest Foundation, which works to end hunger on Long Island. With December came the Bi-Annual 20

Bowl-a-thon held at East Meadow Bowl in East Meadow, New York. The event raised $385 for the Kimberly D. Holland Hodgkin’s Disease Foundation. During the spring semester they were proud to learn that two members would be recognized with monetary awards from the national office of Phi Eta Sigma and featured in this issue of the Forum magazine. This is the eighth consecutive year that at least one student from Hofstra was selected.

The spring semester continued with the MS Walk, which took place at Jones Beach. Hofstra students, friends, and family successfully raised over $800 for the event. On April 30, they held their first ever Charity Band Showcase. The concert brought together local bands in an effort to raise money for the VH1 Save the Music Foundation. Another charity Bowl-a-thon on May 6 helped to raise a total of $273 for the Save the Music Foundation. On May 12, they held their Second Annual Semi-Formal Dinner. Organized to celebrate another great year, the dinner was held at Pompei Catering Hall and welcomed almost thirty members and guests. Lastly, the Hofstra chapter awarded approximately $2,000 in local scholarship awards after the end of the 2005 spring semester.

This year the Phi Eta Sigma chapter at the University of Illinois has formed two teams to participate in Relay for Life on April 8-9 at the campus soccer stadium. The event, which raises money for the American Cancer Society in partnership with the campus organization Colleges Against Cancer, aims to bring together a community of support in the fight against cancer while remembering victims and honoring survivors. Individuals and teams raise money through a series of fundraisers and events that culminates in the Relay for Life event, a fun-filled overnight that includes games, FORUM of Phi Eta Sigma, Volume LXXVI, 2006

speakers, music, and food to bring together a sense of solidarity that both celebrates and remembers those who have been affected by cancer and raises money for the cause. The purpose is to have at least one member of each team walking the track at all times. The Relay for Life website elaborates on the symbolic nature of the event in that it “represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day, cancer will be eliminated.”

The Phi Eta Sigma chapter at the University of Illinois is doing its part by involving two teams in the event, as well as encouraging all of its members to help with donations and support. The two team captains, Katie Beagle and Candace White, as well as vice president Victor Chan, have been working tirelessly to implement fun and creative ideas for fundraising for this great cause. Throughout the course of the year, Phi Eta Sigma has sponsored an Ultimate Frisbee Tournament, sold purple “HOPE” bracelets, participated in a fundraiser in collaboration with the Chicago Bulls by selling game tickets, and collected money on the quad and in areas of heavy student traffic. Team websites also allow family and friends to make personal donations to individuals online. The teams have set their goals high and accomplished them, already surpassing their goal of raising $2,000 for the American Cancer Society!

Phi Eta Sigma’s involvement in this event will cement its presence on campus and initiate the sense of community with various student organizations and groups for an inspiring and important cause. In total, over $21,000 has been donated thus far at the University of Illinois, and over one hundred teams are participating. Phi Eta Sigma members are looking forward to the culminating event in April and are excited about the opportunity to be a part of something so large and vital, both on the University of Illinois campus and in a larger sense in the struggle against cancer. –written by Carrie Murrow, chapter historian.

their first meeting, the victims of Hurricane Katrina were foremost on their minds, and they voted to make a donation to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. The chapter began the year by participating in the United Way Day of Caring to help spruce up various buildings and neighborhoods in Indianapolis.

Approximately twenty chapter members, as well as a few family members, participated by doing cleanup work and painting at a local YMCA, then everyone came back to campus for a barbecue with participants from all over campus. Chapter members also participated in two other events that have become October traditions, Coats for Kids and Chili for Charity. With Coats for Kids, collection boxes were placed around campus to collect coats for needy Indianapolis children. The coats were then taken to Tuchman Cleaners for cleaning and were distributed at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. For the Chili for Charity event, a few members displayed their culinary talents by cooking up their best chili, while others lacking in culinary skills just volunteered their time and worked in other aspects of the event. Guests from around campus paid to sample the various types of chili, with all proceeds going to United Way. Several IUPUI chapter members recently arose at dawn to man the phones at a local public television station to raise money for children’s programming.

The members took callers’ pledges totaling several thousand dollars during their early morning shift, an effort that will provide for continued and improved children’s programming on public television in that area. To increase chapter visibility on campus and raise money for chapter activities, members designed a t-shirt bearing the school mascot that will be sold campus wide this winter. They are also assembling a winning team to participate in the upcoming College Bowl competition. Finally, they have identified increasing their membership significantly as one of their priorities for the upcoming year and will spend time in future meetings devising a plan of action to make this happen.

The IUPUI chapter of Phi Eta Sigma has been busy this year with meetings and service projects. The group had great attendance at lunchtime meetings last semester, and members enjoyed pizza provided by the chapter while conducting their business. At

Jacksonville State University chapter’s annual induction was held March 30, 2005. Over two hundred members and friends attended and enjoyed the formal ceremony and reception that followed

the induction of sixty-three new members. Cristina Almanza, who received a national Phi Eta Sigma award last year, was recognized at the induction.

The chapter also awarded a campus scholarship in the amount of $200 to last year’s initiate Rebekah McManus, who has maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA during her college career. At the induction, chapter adviser Rufus Kinney of the English Department announced that he is stepping down after twenty years of serving Phi Eta Sigma. He expressed sincerest thanks to the university, the local chapter, and the national office for a most pleasant and rewarding tenure. Kinney introduced his successor, Ms. Rhonda Kilgo of the JSU Math Department, a Phi Eta Sigma member and chapter vice president during the 1995-1996 school year.

The JSU chapter was represented at the national convention in Savannah in October 2004, where it received awards for service, leadership, and overall excellence. A highlight of the Savannah convention was the presentation of a Distinguished Service Award to Professor Kinney in recognition of his campus and national Society leadership. The chapter’s table at Fall and Spring Preview Days was well received by prospective new students and their parents.

The “Hints” publication continues to enjoy wide distribution on campus, especially among freshmen.

Courtney was recognized as an outstanding senior woman who exemplifies Kettering’s highest ideals: a dynamic combination of excellent scholarship and active dedication to service, leadership, and mentorship at home, at school, and at work.

The Louisiana State University in Shreveport (LSUS) chapter was recognized for its outstanding community service. The LSUS Student Organization Council presented the Outstanding Community Service Award to Phi Eta Sigma during its annual award ceremony on April 26, 2005. Martha Durham, chapter president, accepted the award on behalf of the chapter. The LSUS chapter “adopted” The Gingerbread House in Shreveport for the 2004-2005 year. The Gingerbread House serves abused/neglected children in the area providing counseling and advocacy services. During the course of the year, the chapter sponsored six work days and also collected items for the children. For Easter, the chapter made Easter baskets to distribute to the children over a two-week period. Chapter members volunteered for the Shreveport Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and for the LSUS Girls and Women in Sports Day. They also donated Easter baskets to the children’s wing of the local charity hospital.

The Marshall University chapter continues to support Habitat for Humanity fundraisers and assists with the local animal shelter drives. The chapter hosts the Marshall University faculty dinner. This event is among the campus highlights of the year.

The University of Maryland, College Park chapter of Phi Eta Sigma started the year off in April 2005 by gaining more than eight hundred new members at its annual induction ceremony.

This past year, the chapter awarded more than $9,000 in local scholarships. Part of this money was used to award the local Helen E. Clarke Scholarship, an award for an exceptional junior, to Dan Janoff.

Dan, currently a senior at Maryland, is a finance major with a 4.00 GPA. Dan has become an essential member of the local Phi Eta Sigma chapter.

As a sophomore, he served as co-vice president of volunteerism. Last year, he served as vice president of academic affairs, which included the responsibility of coordinating the duties of webmaster, historian, and secretary. He worked closely with the chapter’s executive board and far exceeded his duties in the position. Dan is also actively involved in the Business Honors Program, as well as the College Park Scholars Program on campus.

Already this year, the Maryland chapter has sponsored two very successful community service efforts. In September, a Katrina relief effort raised over $1,100 for hurricane victims. Additionally, members made over three hundred Halloween cards for patients at a local children’s hospital. Other volunteer efforts include making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the less fortunate and a teddy bear drive for the holiday season. Service events like these are held monthly throughout the year.

Overseeing the Society’s operations at Maryland is a new-look executive board, featuring a president, five vice presidents and a committee under each vice president. This model improved the overall organization and communication of the executive board and made it easier for the executive board members to work closely with one another. The current president is Danny Jacobs, and the vice presidents are Shaun Salmon (volunteerism), Rachael Brown (scholarship), Christine Kuntzman (event planning), Craig Morgenstern (finance), and Emily Spiering (communications). With the new structure of the executive board and the many great ideas already in motion, this year is sure to be a successful one.

The members typify the campus spirit by their Adopt-a-Snowman/Angel project (donation of Christmas gifts and food to a needy family), Firefighter Christmas Donation Drive, Thanksgiving Sponsor a Family through the Salvation Army, Painting Dormitory Dumpsters, Annual Lafayette House (women’s and children’s shelter) donation drive, tutorial services in various academic disciplines, Children’s Ready Day, and finally the annual induction ceremony.

The Salisbury University chapter of Phi Eta Sigma asked for all members to help with a book drive sponsored by Kappa Delta Pi during the fall semester. The purpose of the book drive was to provide books for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The drop-off boxes for the books were located in the Student Activities Office and the Scarborough Student Leadership House. New or used books for children of all ages were accepted, and the project would help hurricane victims rebuild their library.

The Southeast Missouri State University chapter held its spring induction as a joint ceremony with The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi on April 3, 2005. Phi Kappa Phi recognizes academic distinction and outstanding academic achievement in all disciplines at the junior, senior, and graduate levels. Membership requires ranking in the top ten percent of the respective class.

The Missouri Southern State University chapter

The Syracuse University chapter has a reputation for touching lives on a year-round basis, beginning and ending each school year on a positive note.

Touching the surface activities for the Syracuse community includes sponsorship of a campus blood drive and a book drive; gathering and purchasing new toys, games, and sports equipment for underserved children and those impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita; funding study break snacks and the construction of a gingerbread house to be used as a non-profit agency gift; Comstock KidsFest; resumé seminar for the campus; Easter egg hunt for international children; and a late night activity at the gym .

undergraduate study during the 2005-06 academic year. Each recipient will receive a cash award of $2,000 for his or her senior year of engineering study. All Tau Beta Pi scholarships are awarded on the competitive criteria of high scholarship, campus leadership and service, and promise of future contributions to the engineering profession.

Phi Eta Sigma members receiving scholarships included Delores Turner (University of South Alabama), Megan Baldridge (Auburn University), Justin Kasemodel (South Dakota School of Mines and Technology), Alison A. Trachet (University of Florida), John M. Brosnahan (South Dakota School of Mines and Technology), Jasmine R. Galjour (University of Louisiana at Lafayette), Jared E. Maiman (New Jersey Institute of Technology), Kyle W. Schriefer (Virginia Military Institute), and Thomas S. Seacrist (Catholic University of America).

The Texas A&M University-Commerce induction ceremony featured speaker was Dr. Villanueva–Russell of the Sociology and Criminal Justice Department.

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point chapter of Phi Eta Sigma is in the process of becoming the first Phi Eta Sigma recognized student organization at UWSP. Throughout the past year, the motivated chapter officers have been getting their roots planted and were able to get the chapter involved in the community. Groups of student members helped build a Habitat for Humanity community house and helped out with College Days for Kids, a program for academically excelling sixth grad-

24

ers. In contrast to helping the local community, members also made donations to the American Cancer Society. In the upcoming year they plan to continue community services and increase member participation. The members extend congratulations on her retirement to Donna Saddison, the past program assistant and chapter co-adviser, and thanks for her many years of working with the Society.

The Worcester State College chapter of Phi Eta Sigma scheduled two induction ceremonies last year. This year the chapter’s executive committee is plugged into the campus student leadership circle and is planning a spring induction only. The chapter president designed Society t-shirts that were a big hit last year. The chapter has also taken on a fundraising project rooted in education and scholarship, as well as in the College’s goal of making the campus more global. Institutions of higher learning throughout the country are grappling with what is meant by the globalization of education. The Phi Eta Sigma chapter at WSC has decided to raise funds to send children from a village in Tanzania to high school. A campus faculty member did her dissertation research in that village and has returned twice with small groups of WSC students. Chapter members learned from her that $100 would send one child to high school for a year. The chapter is planning fundraisers to ensure that the six students who are now in their first year of high school thanks to WSC efforts can go for at least one more. The video that this faculty member made of her visit to the village with WSC students has inspired the Phi Eta Sigma members to help fund this effort.

by Senator John McCain

At the request of the Forum editor, Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) agreed to share with Forum readers remarks he presented on the occasion of the March 25, 2002, University of Southern California “Ides of March” dinner--

T

hank you for your warm reception. I appreciate this very much. As often as we are the targets of public abuse, politicians also find we are the beneficiaries of undeserved acclaim. After a while, one keeps both scorn and praise in perspective. They both come with the job. But I am truly grateful for your recognition and for the far more illustrious company of past honorees that USC has

invited me to join. It’s a great privilege, and I can’t thank you enough.

I’m also proud to lend my name to the very worthy cause that this dinner supports. My life has been blessed more than I deserve. I am the son and grandson of Navy admirals. I was born into America’s service. I am privileged to have held a public trust since I graduated from the Naval Academy fortyfour years ago. I have never lived a single day, in good times and bad, that I wasn’t grateful for the privilege. It is a blessing beyond exaggeration to serve this country and her causes.

It is not just the financial support and quality education you help provide to deserving young people, but the rich life of public service your generosity encourages them to begin that distinguishes your effort, and earns you the respect and gratitude of every American who believes that citizenship in this country is more than a lucky accident of birth.

America and her causes are a blessing to mankind, and they honor all who work to make her a better ABOUT THE AUTHOR: After graduating from the Naval Academy in 1958, John McCain began his career as a naval aviator.

Feature Articles University of Southern California Ides of March Dinner Address (Cont’d.) country and America’s example a greater influence on human history.

For all the terrible problems that still afflict humanity, the 21st Century would have dawned on a much less hopeful world absent America’s place in it. Until the end of time, will there ever be a nation such as ours?

I cannot imagine that another nation’s history will ever so profoundly affect the progress of the human race. That is not boastful chauvinism, my friends, but a profession of faith in the American creed, and in the men and women who understood what history expects of us, and who saw to it that we exceeded even the loftiest aspirations of our founders.

Twelve years ago, in the first days of the last days of the Soviet empire, a young Czech student stood before a million of his countrymen, while two hundred thousand Soviet troops still occupied his country, and, trembling with emotion, read a manifesto that declared a new day for the captive peoples of Eastern Europe. But he began that new day with borrowed words when he proclaimed: We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Theodore Roosevelt is one of my greatest political heroes. The “strenuous life” was T.R.’s definition of Americanism, a celebration of America’s pioneer ethos, the virtues that had won the West and inspired our belief in ourselves as the New Jerusalem, bound by sacred duty to suffer hardship and risk danger to protect the values of our civilization and impart them to humanity.

Nor was it limited to a sentimental attachment to our “amber waves of grain” or “purple mountains majesty.” Roosevelt’s Americanism exalted the political values of a nation where the people were sovereign, recognizing not only the inherent justice of self-determination, not only that freedom empowered individuals to decide their destiny for themselves, but that it empowered them to choose a common destiny. And for Roosevelt that common destiny surpassed material gain and self-interest.

Our freedom and our industry must aspire to more than acquisition and luxury. We must live out the true meaning of freedom, and accept “that we have duties to others and duties to ourselves; and we can shirk neither.”

Some critics, in his day and ours, saw in Roosevelt’s patriotism only flag-waving chauvinism, not all that dissimilar to Old World ancestral allegiances that incited one people to subjugate another and plunged whole continents into war. But they did not see the universality of the ideals that formed his creed.

A few years ago, I read an account of an Irishman’s attempt to make the first crossing of the Antarctic on foot. In August 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton placed an advertisement in a London newspaper: MEN WANTED FOR HAZARDOUS JOURNEY. SMALL WAGES, BITTER COLD, LONG MONTHS OF COMPLETE DARKNESS, CONSTANT DANGER, SAFE RETURN DOUBTFUL, HONOUR AND RECOGNITION IN CASE OF SUCCESS.

His Americanism was not fidelity to a tribal identity.

Twenty-eight men answered the ad and began a twenty-two month trial of wind, ice, snow, and endurance. Photographs of their expedition survive today produced from plate glass negatives that one of Shackleton’s men dove into freezing Antarctic waters to rescue from their sinking ship.

The deprivations these men suffered are almost unimaginable. They spent four months marooned on a desolate, ice-covered island before they were

“We cannot sit huddled within our borders,” he warned, “and avow ourselves merely an assemblage of well-to-do hucksters who care nothing for what happens beyond.”

rescued by Shackleton himself. They endured three months of polar darkness, and were forced to shoot their sled dogs for food. Their mission failed, but they recorded an epic of courage and honor that far surpassed the glory of the accomplishment that had exceeded their grasp. When they returned to England, most of them immediately enlisted to fight in World War One. Years later, Shackleton looked back on the character of his shipmates. He had had the sublime privilege of witnessing a thousand acts of unselfish courage, and he understood the greater glory that it achieved.

“In memories we were rich,” he wrote. “We had pierced the veneer of outside things.”

I thought when I read it that there, in that memorable turn of phrase, was the Roosevelt code. To pierce the veneer of outside things, to strive for something more ennobling than the luxuries that privilege and wealth have placed within easy reach. For the memories of such accomplishments are fleeting, attributable as there are to the fortuitous circumstances of our birth, and reflect little credit on our character or our nation’s.

Nationalism is not intrinsically good. For it to be so, a nation must transcend attachments to land and folk to champion universal rights of freedom and justice that reflect and animate the virtues of its citizenry. Racism and despotism have perverted many a citizen’s love of country into a noxious ideology, Nazism and Stalinism being two of the more malignant examples. National honor, no less than personal honor, has only the worth it derives from its defense of human dignity. Then, and only then, are they virtues in themselves. Many a patriotic German sought honor in doing one’s duty to the Furher and Fatherland. History and humanity, not to mention a just God, scorn them for it. Prosperity, military power, a well-educated society are the attainments of a great nation, but they are not its essence. If they are used only in pursuit of self-interest or to serve unjust ends, they degrade national greatness.

Nazi Germany was temporarily a powerful nation.

It was never a great one.

FORUM of Phi Eta Sigma, Volume LXXVI, 2006

We are not a perfect union. Prosperity and power might delude us into thinking we have achieved that distinction, but inequities and challenges unforeseen a mere generation ago command every good citizen’s concern and labor. But what we have achieved in our brief history is irrefutable proof that a nation conceived in an idea, in liberty, will prove stronger and more enduring than any nation ordered to exalt the few at the expense of the many or made from a common race or culture or to preserve traditions that have no greater attribute than longevity.

As blessed as we are, as empowered by liberty as we are, no nation complacent in its greatness can long sustain it. We are an unfinished nation. And we are not a people of half-measures. We must take our place in the enterprise of renewal, giving our counsel, our labor, and our passion in our time to the enduring task of national greatness. We must prove again, as those who came before us proved, that a people free to act in their own interests will perceive their interests in an enlightened way, will live as one nation, in a kinship of ideals, and make of our power and wealth a civilization for the ages, a civilization in which all people share in the promise of freedom.

All lives are a struggle against selfishness. All my life I’ve stood a little apart from institutions I willingly joined. It just felt natural to me. But in a life that shared no common purpose, my so-called maverick nature, if that is what it truly is, wouldn’t have amounted to much beyond eccentricity. There is no honor or happiness in just being strong enough to be left alone.

I’ve made plenty of mistakes in my life. And I have many regrets. But only when I have separated my interests from my country’s are those regrets profound. That is the honor and privilege of public service in a nation that isn’t just land and ethnicity, but an idea and a cause. Any benefit that ever accrued to me on occasions in my public life when I perceived my self-interest as unrelated to the nation I served, has been as fleeting as pleasure, and as meaningless as an empty gesture.

Feature Articles University of Southern California Ides of March Dinner Address (Cont’d.)

I’m fascinated by documentaries chronicling the heroics of Americans who fought in World War Two. I’m drawn to the faces of old veterans as they struggle on camera to describe their experiences.

They often become emotional, and are unable to continue. Some of them had gone on to live lives of distinction after the war. Some lived more obscure, but no less honorable lives. But as they reach the end of their days, the accomplishments or disappointments of their peacetime years don’t seem all that important to them. The memories of personal triumphs aren’t an adequate account of their long years. It is the memory of war they return to, the memory of war that gave their lives lasting meaning. They return to hard times, times of pain, suffering, loss, violence and fear. They return to the place where they risked everything, absolutely everything, for the country that sent them there. No later success ever outshone its glory, or later defeat taken it from them. It is still there and vivid at the moment of their last breath.

In America, our rights come before our duties. We are a free people, and among our freedoms is the liberty to not sacrifice for our birthright. Yet those who claim their liberty, but not the duty to the civilization that ensures it, live a half-life, having indulged their self-interest at the cost of their self-respect.

The richest man or woman, the most successful and celebrated Americans, possess nothing of importance if their lives have no greater object than themselves.

They may be masters of their own fate, but what a poor destiny it is that claims no higher cause than wealth or fame.

We are blessed to be Americans, not just in times of peace and prosperity, but at all times, even in the dangerous, uncertain times we live in now. Especially in these times. We are part of something providential: a great experiment to prove to the world that democracy is not only the most effective form of government, but the only moral government.

66

And through the years, generation after generation of Americans has held fast to the belief that we were meant to transform history. What greater cause than that could we ever find?

Should we claim our rights and leave to others our duty to the nation that protects them, whatever we gain for ourselves will be of little lasting value. It will build no monuments to virtue, claim no honored place in the memory of posterity, offer no worthy summons to other nations. Success, wealth, celebrity gained and kept for private interest is a small thing.

It makes us comfortable, eases the material hardships our children will bear, purchases a fleeting regard for our lives, yet not the self-respect that in the end matters most to us. But sacrifice for a cause greater than self-interest, and you invest your life with the eminence of that cause, your self-respect assured.

When I was a young man, I thought glory was the highest ambition, and that all glory was self-glory.

My parents tried to teach me otherwise, as did the Naval Academy. But I didn’t understand the lesson until later in life, when I confronted challenges I never expected to face.

In that confrontation, I discovered that I was dependent on others to a greater extent than I had ever realized, but that neither they nor the cause we served made any claims on my identity. On the contrary, they gave me a larger sense of myself than I had before. And I am a better man for it. I discovered that nothing in life is more liberating than to fight for a cause that encompasses you, but is not defined by your existence alone. And that has made all the difference, my friends, all the difference in the world.

Thank you for this honor, and thank you for helping others to pierce the veneer of outside things, and live out the authentic meaning of freedom. Nothing you do will have greater value.❏

The Florida State University Chapter Celebrates Its 50th Anniversary

O

n Monday, March 14, 2005, the Florida State University chapter of Phi Eta Sigma held its 50th anniversary induction ceremony. A grand total of 778 new members were inducted for the 2004-2005 year, which was a record number for the chapter.

The induction ceremony was broadcast on the Web, allowing the six new inductees from FSU’s campus in the Republic of Panama to participate.

After President Christina Taylor welcomed the audience of approximately nine hundred family members, friends, administrators, and inductees,

special guest Dr. Jack Sagabiel shared his opening remarks, warmly wishing the Florida State University chapter of Phi Eta Sigma a happy birthday.

Dr. Sagabiel presented our chapter with a beautiful Certificate of Distinction in commemoration of our 50th anniversary and in appreciation of our campus leadership, service, and diversity.

The ceremony continued as Vice President Erin Schultz introduced the keynote speaker, Sir Harold Kroto. Sir Harold, an FSU faculty member who won the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, enchanted

and challenged the audience with his presentation, “Doubt and Questioning as the Only Route to Understanding.”

Before the new student members were inducted, Dr. Sagabiel welcomed two honorary members into the FSU chapter of Phi Eta Sigma – Sir Harold Kroto and Dr. Karen Laughlin, the dean of undergraduate studies at FSU. Sir Harold and Dean Laughlin received a membership certificate, Phi Eta Sigma pin, and a Phi Eta Sigma medallion. New student members were then officially inducted into Phi Eta Sigma. Having already received their pins and certificates, they were called forward to receive their honor cords from our president and to shake hands with Dr. Sagabiel.

Awards Committee Chair Amanda Meter then recognized three “Excellence in Service” award winners: Mr. Ishkhan Grigorian, Dr. Pamela Robbins, and Dr. Kevin Witherspoon. At FSU, students who join Phi Eta Sigma are given the opportunity to nominate instructors, advisers, and administrators to receive this award. The winners were presented with a certificate and a small gift.

The president closed the ceremony and encouraged everyone to join us at the reception immediately following. New members and their guests enjoyed excellent food and drink as they celebrated their accomplishments. A highlight of the reception was the dessert table, which featured an enormous chocolate fountain! Members had a chance to speak to and get their picture taken with Sir Harold, Dr. Sagabiel, Dean Laughlin, and members of the executive board.

The induction ceremony was a grand finale for an amazing year for the FSU chapter of Phi Eta Sigma.

Over the course of the 2004-05 academic year the executive board and committee members organized a leadership workshop, participated for the first time ever in the FSU homecoming parade, and started a new service project that is sure to become an annual event: holiday card making. Members of Phi Eta Sigma made winter holiday and Valentine’s Day cards for the patients at a local hospital. The executive board brought lots of art supplies, music, and homemade cookies for members to enjoy while they made their cards. Everyone had a great time celebrating the holidays, making new friends, and helping the community. In addition, Phi Eta Sigma joined other campus-wide honor societies at Florida State to form the Council of Honor Societies. The group held regular meetings throughout the year

Finding a Balance: Providing Leadership for Our Chapters

by Tony Kemp

P

roviding administrative leadership to a Phi Eta Sigma chapter can quickly turn into an unappealing “other” responsibility for any faculty/ staff/graduate student adviser. Pressures from additional aspects of the full-time job cannot simply be put on hold for us to devote all of our daily time and energy to Phi Eta Sigma. As pulled as we all continue to be in so many directions, perhaps we can still afford to carve out effective niches of time to provide the ongoing leadership that our chapters need and deserve.

Working with the best and brightest students still requires establishing an encouraging and inviting personality and being willing to offer some amount of direction if we are to make any movement toward our chapters’ interdependence. Finding the balance between the challenging and the supporting that we do could make the difference in the productivity of our group.

• Know your officers. While you may not be able to sponsor a retreat to start your officers in the right direction, you will still find it useful to get to know things about them. How they operate, what they like, where their strengths are directed—all can be useful when trying to determine how effective they will be in motivating your chapter to success.

Tony Kemp touches lives.

• Hold planning meetings. Depending on your chapter-meeting schedule, meet with your executive officers at least once a month.

Feature Articles Finding a Balance: Providing Leadership for Our Chapters (Cont’d.)

• Contribute your ideas. Share your thoughts with your executive officers. Hopefully, you also have at least a small amount of time on the agenda during your chapter meetings where you verbally support the organization and, more importantly, let your chapter members experience you!

• Assist, even in small ways, with at least a few of your chapter’s projects. Despite it being an incredibly rewarding experience for our students who are serving as executive officers, physically show your support. Even small things like picking up drinks for an event or contributing an article for a chapter newsletter can mean a lot to your officers and other members.

• Stay current with the latest national information. While we are not overwhelmed with information from our national office, we should take advantage of the updates mailed every semester. Passing the information along to your executive officers and members shows your interest in the ongoing growth of the national society, as well as connects your members with others around the country.

72

• Maintain your support. Especially when membership and/or involvement from members are fluctuating, it is very easy to become frustrated with the group. Becoming too passive with your involvement could be very detrimental to the continued development of the group. (Things will usually be better after these periods of uncertainty.)

Enjoying your Phi Eta Sigma involvement is just as critical for you as for your students! Through your patience and persistence, you will continue to be instrumental in your chapter’s reaching its maximum potential. ❏

What Honors Students Are Like Now

by Dr. Rosalie C. Otero

I

recently received a letter from one of our honors alumnae. Zoë wrote:

“I’m doing it again! I’ve decided to run another marathon in support of the Leukemia Society of America in Anchorage, Alaska. Five years ago, I undertook a great challenge when I successfully completed the marathon in San Diego, running 26.2 miles in just over 4 1/2 hours. Although training in Alaska has proved challenging—getting up in the dark to confront freezing temperatures, snow and ice, while trying to avoid running into moose (which, believe it or not, happens often), the challenges that I’m encountering are nothing compared to the struggles faced by those who are racing for their lives against serious illnesses.”

I sat back and thought, “This is definitely an honors student.” Why is that? What is it about honors students that make them unique?

I looked at the 2005 graduating class for ideas. I’m listing just three students and a small sampling of the kinds of activities they were involved with during their undergraduate careers, but they are not unique in their engagement and accomplishments.

All of the graduates have similar portfolios.

Catherine is a foreign languages major (she is learning Russian, French, Italian, Spanish, and Chinese). She spent a semester at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University in Russia and plans to attend law school to specialize in international law. She is also a flamenco, ballet, and jazz dancer and instructor.

Dr. Rosalie C. Otero exudes leadership.

Liz is an English major with a political science minor. She has been published, studied in France and Spain, and will be living in Arusha, Tanzania,

after graduation working as an apprentice to a UN lawyer at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. She wants to become a journalist.

Mario is an education major with a communication arts endorsement. He is a non-traditional student.

Mario is co-founder of the Speech and Debate Society at UNM. He has been published and did original research on magical realism as a McNair Scholar. He will be teaching high school in Georgia or Arizona and working on a master’s degree.

I find that honors students ask probing questions that tend to differ from non-honors students’ in depth of understanding and frequency. They all have interests in many areas. Many honors students either can’t settle on a major until their sophomore or junior year or they come to the university already focused on their goal. I find the first kind easier because they are more open to possibilities and are interested in taking a variety of courses.

These students, however, do need additional guidance and advising in order to complete their undergraduate program in a timely manner. I find the second group more problematic because they are so focused in one area that their interests are limited to activities and classes that are associated with that field. Helping them think in different ways and about broader topics is challenging.

Honors students are opposed to “banal” academic coursework. As one student wrote, “Generally during the semester, the average student is reluctant to explore subjects and material not specifically

74

required by courses despite deep interest in doing so.” I have found that honors students do not enroll in courses merely because they are required.

Most of the honors students enroll in courses that will challenge them, make them think, teach them something. Sometimes they have to take courses that are boring or too large, but even in those courses the honors students find ways to discover new information. They also engage in learning beyond the classroom. They are involved in clubs, student government, volunteer activities, campus and community events, and jobs.

Through the years, I have encountered some differences in each entering class. Their communication styles and expectations are different. They often have different attitudes about their studies and life, and their comfort level with technology is surprising. Even their views regarding such things as loyalty and authority are different.

In my early years in honors (late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s), I found honors students to be superachievers. Many of them grew up in single-parent families and took on adult responsibilities early in life. They were often dedicated to people, projects, ideas and tasks rather than longevity and lifetime employment. They were parallel thinkers, independent and resourceful. They accepted change. They looked for flexibility. When I gave an assignment, they wanted to know if they could do something else instead. They wanted to be engaged and were happy to be affiliated with honors. Students in my classes wanted frequent feedback—“How am I doing?” “How can I do better?” What they wrote most frequently in their exit evaluations was how

FORUM of Phi Eta Sigma, Volume LXXVI, 2006

much they hated the bureaucracy of the financial office or the advisors or the administration. During exit interviews they frequently lamented: “Bureaucracy has made my learning experience difficult and frustrating.�

Honors students in more recent years seem to be more cheerful and deal with things with humor.

They are less influenced by hype and status.

They are more optimistic and inclusive in their approach to life. They really enjoy collaborative learning and working in groups. Most of them are selfless and volunteer for numerous projects both on campus and in the community. These students have been using computers since prekindergarten. They are e-learners and are used to instant communication. Many of the students are into extreme sports and want to do everything quickly. They value speed.

Honors teachers have to be in touch with the changing perspectives and values of each new generation of students. Those who see themselves as facilitators of learning can find a great deal to offer the students. This role requires honors faculty to have skills in both their subject areas and in the management of learning. In addition, honors faculty are flexible. They are always looking for new and challenging strategies to teach their students and make provisions for original research, independent studies or investigations, internships, mentorships, and collaborative projects.

They want to understand, and, for the most part, they want to make a difference. They are willing to test themselves, go beyond expectations, and run real or metaphorical marathons that will benefit others as well as themselves. â??

EPA Honors Penn State Student as a Rising ‘Star’ in Environmental Science

by Karen Zitomer Tuesday August 30, 2005 University Park, Pa. -- Offering financial support to young scientists to meet the nation’s mounting environmental challenges has been an ongoing mission of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Recently, the government agency found a rising star at Penn State. Recognized for excellence in her young but burgeoning career, Tiffany L. Bogich, a fifth-year student completing a B.S. in mathematics and an M.S. in ecology, has been awarded the EPA Science to Achieve Results (STAR) fellowship in support of her research on “Optimization of the Monitoring and Management of the North American Gypsy Moth.”

The purpose of the EPA STAR fellowship is to encourage promising and committed students to obtain advanced degrees and pursue careers in environmentally related fields. The Moon Township, Pennsylvania, native was one of 130 students selected from among 2,100 applicants to receive the STAR fellowship for 2005-2006 due, in part, to her work on a unique project that has allowed her to combine her love of mathematics and ecology.

Since fall 2003, Ms. Bogich has examined the costs and benefits of two types of activities that are used to control gypsy moth invasions -- detection (survey) and eradication (control) -- through mathematical modeling. This research has been conducted under the direction of Katriona Shea, assistant professor of biology at Penn State, and Andrew Liebhold, research entomologist for the USDA Forest Service Northeast Research Station in Morgantown, West Virginia.

FORUM of Phi Eta Sigma, Volume LXXVI, 2006

Ms. Bogich said she was awarded the STAR Fellowship to look at the management side of the gypsy moth research question – a project consistent with the EPA’s mission to support the nation’s environmental science, research, education, assessment, restoration and preservation efforts.

The STAR Fellowship includes full tuition and fees, in addition to a living stipend and expense account.

Ms. Bogich plans to use the funds to complete her master’s thesis and prepare the gypsy moth optimization work for publication in a scientific journal.

The funds also will support her travel to the 2006 Ecological Society of America meeting and the EPA STAR Scholars Meeting to present her research.

Interested in environmental science from her chil dhood days backpacking and sailing at summer camp, Ms. Bogich sees her work as a way to proactively address current environmental concerns.

“Invasive species threatening native biodiversity and resource use are a continuous problem in the United States and all over the world,” Ms. Bogich explained.

“Although it is just one of many species, my work with the invasive gypsy moth is really exciting because it’s a very familiar system: the gypsy moth has been invading forests, mainly of the northeastern and now midwestern United States since 1869 and is still steadily continuing its spread.”

Ms. Bogich said that millions of dollars go into trying to slow or stop the spread of the gypsy moth each year, so she is trying to determine if there might be a better way to allocate resources in order to detect new colonies when they are smaller and cost less to eradicate and apply management strategies in a way that best reduces the population size.

This is where her mathematical studies come in handy in this interdisciplinary project. “I am hoping to be able to apply the mathematical methods used in answering questions of gypsy moth management to other systems of invasive species.”

FORUM of Phi Eta Sigma, Volume LXXVI, 2006

Ms. Bogich currently is the senior adviser of the Penn State Chapter of Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, for which she previously served as regional chairperson, secretary, and president. In addition, she is a student representative on the national executive board of Phi Eta Sigma. She also is a member and past treasurer and vice commodore of the Penn State Sailing Club, as well as Web master of the Ecology Graduate Student Organization.

Ms. Bogich has garnered a number of scholarly honors, including national awards such as the Morris K. Udall Scholarship and the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship; Penn State’s Kermit Anderson Memorial Scholarship, William W. Asbury Scholarship and the Distinguished Alumni Scholarship; and both local and national Phi Eta Sigma scholarships.

Ms. Bogich hopes to earn a Ph.D. in the area of quantitative ecology and currently is investigating programs and graduate schools. In the future, she would like to be involved in developing new mathematical models to answer questions of optimization and decision making in conservation and natural resource management. Ms. Bogich plans to work in the academic realm as a professor of ecology and mathematics, while also consulting to ensure that the research she conducts has practical use in informing actual environmental policies.

For now, the EPA fellowship will help her navigate the next stage of her journey.

“Receiving this fellowship allows me to fully engage in my research without the worry of having to take time away for another job or teaching assistantship,” she said. “This opportunity to focus solely on my current work will be particularly helpful this winter and spring as I take on the challenging but rewarding task of capturing my research on paper for publication. And for that I am extremely grateful.”

icture yourself in Austin, Texas! Discover a city surrounded by rolling hills, limestone cliffs, and cool lakes and rivers. You’ll see why the founders carefully designed the city to preserve and reflect the natural beauty of the environment. Our convention Saturday afternoon and evening entertainment will explore every nook and cranny our time will allow because we are special visitors, and Austin loves sharing Texas treasures with special guests.

Our magnificent host hotel nestles into a spectacular downtown setting on the shores of beautiful Town Lake and is surrounded by the scenic Hill Country of Central Texas. The Hyatt is seven miles from Austin Bergstrom International Airport. The Hyatt will host all convention workshops, meetings, and most meals, in addition to providing special leisure areas for free-time fellowship and conversation to complement new friendships, which will develop rapidly.

The Thirty-eighth National Convention and Leadership Workshops are scheduled for October 27-29, 2006, in Austin, Texas. Our hosts will be The University of Texas-Austin chapter of Phi Eta Sigma and the Hyatt Regency Austin.

Among the items on the Executive Committee summer meeting agenda in San Antonio was to lay the foundation for a productive Austin, Texas, national convention. Phi Eta Sigma is in the administrative

and financial condition we enjoy today, thanks to the careful management required by the Executive Committee.

You will long remember our evening at The Salt Lick.

Convention buses will meet those traveling to the convention by air at the Austin airport for the short trip to the Hyatt. Those traveling to the convention by auto can come directly to the hotel. Registration and chapter displays at the convention hospitality center will be the next stop, where all can enjoy a snack while meeting new friends and viewing displays and memorabilia from several chapters, as well as the national office. A personalized convention portfolio will contain numerous items, including a custom-prepared leadership certificate for everyone in attendance.

We will begin our Friday evening activities with a dinner buffet, which will include items to satisfy the adventurous as well as the traditionalists; however, vegetarian meals will be available at all times for those who request them in advance. The first official convention business session will follow dinner, after which committee meetings will be organized.

Convention delegates and alternate delegates will have the opportunity to serve on, or chair, important society administrative committees, including the Finance, Constitution, and Scholarship Committee; the Nominations Committee; the Future Directions Committee; and the Publications and Promotional Committee.

Convention greeters will be University of Texas chapter members, along with Christina and David representing the Executive Committee.

The Friday evening activities will be concluded with a convention highlight and ever-popular ice cream social. This social provides the opportunity for chapter advisers, student delegates, and student alternate delegates to exchange specialty gift items from their respective campuses and chapters, such FORUM of Phi Eta Sigma, Volume LXXVI, 2006

as T-shirts, pens, pencils, stickers, etc.

Saturday’s convention agenda will begin with a breakfast snack at the convention hospitality center. The second business session will follow; then our Executive Committee student members and representatives will present workshops on a variety of topics. Committee meetings will complete our morning’s agenda. The convention luncheon will feature the introduction of a number of individual and chapter honorees.

In keeping with our national convention tradition, following lunch we will board our tour buses for a narrated journey with stops to showcase Austin as a unique destination. Then we will be off to Driftwood, Texas, and The Salt Lick, where we will take a deep breath and inhale the aroma of some of the best BBQ the Hill Country has to offer. The Salt Lick is so named because the area in olden days was the location of a salt lick where animals congregated

to ingest the salt that their bodies required. There is something good, something essential about it.

We plan to contract a Texas band, a mechanical bull, and a few surprises to make your evening complete. Bring your camera to record your convention experiences.

Sunday morning will begin with a hearty breakfast buffet to be followed by the final business session, during which the election of the Grand President, Grand Historian, one chapter adviser member of the Executive Committee, and three student members of the Executive Committee will be held.

Convention committee reports will be presented by each committee’s chairperson and secretary, and any needed housekeeping matters will be resolved by convention delegates. For any honor society to thrive and grow, everyone attending the convention must work hard at finding tomorrow’s successes today. This is the democratic history of Phi Eta Sigma and the justification for the national office to reimburse airfare and provide the convention registration fee, hotel housing, convention meals, and regional entertainment for those chapter advisers and student delegates in attendance.

The tough part of every Phi Eta Sigma national convention is the goodbyes. Many new friendships will develop during our time together. Before we start thinking about the goodbyes, let’s take first options first.

Austin, here we come! ❑

PHI ETA SIGMA NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2005 NOTE A - NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Activities Phi Eta Sigma is a national honor society which was founded on March 22, 1923, to encourage and reward high scholastic achievement among firstyear students in institutions of higher learning. Phi Eta Sigma is a nonprofit organization and was incorporated on July 1, 1996.

Basis of Accounting The financial statements of Phi Eta Sigma have been prepared on the accrual basis. Revenue is recognized when earned.

Financial Statement Presentation Financial statement presentation follows the recommendations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board in its Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117, Financial Statements for Not-for-Profit Organizations. Under SFAS No. 117, the Organization is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets. In addition, the Organization is required to present a statement of cash flows.

FORUM of Phi Eta Sigma, Volume LXXVI, 2006

NOTE A - NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined by using the weighted-average cost method. The inventories consisted of the following at June 30, 2005, and 2004:

Keys and tie tacs Program covers Certificates Induction ceremony videotapes Crests Recognition pins Honor Cords Medallions

2005 2004 30,881 $ 26,235 5,123 1,873 9,227 10,901 23 23 1,314 1,377 329 330 10,785 4 4,988 641 ________________________________ $ 62,670 $ 41,384 ________________________________ ________________________________ $

Accounts Receivable No allowance for doubtful accounts is provided as all receivables are considered collectible.

Income Taxes Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The organization is not a private foundation under Section 509 (a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Deferred Convention Expense Conventions are held every other year and therefore convention expenses are allocated over the two year period following the convention. Deferred convention expense reflects costs incurred in the year of the convention which will not be charged to expense until the following year.

Nature of Prior-Year Summarized Information The financial statements include certain prior-year summarized comparative information in total but not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the organization’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2004, from which the summarized information was derived.

Functional Expenses The cost of providing the organization’s programs and supporting services have been reported on a functional basis in the statement of activities.

Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services based on estimates made by management.

Fixed Assets Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents / Cash Flow Information For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, Phi Eta Sigma considers all unrestricted highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. However, temporary cash and money market fund investments which are part of the organization’s investment pool, which is further described in Note D, are not included in cash for purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows since these funds have been set aside by either the organization’s board of trustees or by agreements with donors for long-term investment purposes.

Interest and income taxes paid for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows: June 30, 2005 June 30, 2004 ________________________________ Interest

$ ________________________________ 0 $ 0

Income Taxes

$ ________________________________ 0 $ 0

Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Audit Report for 2004-2005 NOTE B - VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, Inc. adopted SFAS No. 124, “Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations” in 1997. Under SFAS No. 124, investments in marketable secuirities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are reported at their fair values in the statement of financial position. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the change in net assets.

NOTE C - RESTRICTIONS ON NET ASSETS Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, Inc. classifies net assets as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted based on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions. A portion of each initation fee collected by Phi Eta Sigma is designated by initiates as a donation to permanently restricted net assets. In accordance with donor restrictions, interest and dividend earnings from permanently restricted assets are classified as temporarily restricted until used to fund the scholarship program. For the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, $2.50 of each individual initiation fee was designated by initiates as donations to permanently restricted assets.

In addition to these funds which have been temporarily or permanently restricted by donors, the Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, Inc.’s Board of Trustees has set aside the following unrestricted net assets for the purposes described below:

NOTE D - INVESTMENTS The Organization’s investments are recorded at the quoted market value in accordance with SFAS No. 124, “Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organziations.”. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the change in net assets in the accompanying statements of activities. Gains and losses and investment income derived from investments, receivables, and the like are accounted for as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted based on restrictions, if any, imposed by donors. Most of the Organization’s agreements with donors (including initiates) who have created permanently restricted funds require that realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments be added or subtracted to the funds’ principal balances rather than being considered income available for use by the organization. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on the Organization’s unrestricted long-term investments are reflected as increases or decreases in unrestricted net assets.

The cost, quoted market value, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Orgnaization’s investments at June 30, 2005, is summarized below:
