PHI KAPPA PHI INDUCTS NEW MEMBERS
     HAMMOND -- Southeastern Louisiana University's chapter of the Honor Society of Phi
Kappa Phi has inducted 65 new student and faculty members.
     Following the traditional induction ceremony at the Music Recital Hall April 25, new
members were honored at Phi Kappa Phi's annual spring banquet at Twelve Oak.  Dr. John
Warren, executive director of the national office of Phi Kappa Phi, was the guest speaker. 
     Southeastern's chapter president, Sarah Spence, announced that in honor of Phi Kappa
Phi's national centennial, the chapter plans to sponsor an art history lecture during the October
1997 Fanfare arts festival.
     To be considered for membership in the national honor society, a student must be in the
top ten percent of the senior or graduate class and hold a minimum 3.4 grade point average.
Sound character is a supporting criterion. Faculty and alumni are chosen for outstanding
contributions to their fields.
     Faculty members chosen for Phi Kappa Phi were Emily Bond and Ann Carruth, School of
Nursing; Judith Sai-Podlipnik and Andrew Traver, Department of History and Government. New
graduate student members are Sandy Kay Kelly, Dallas, Texas, College of Arts and Sciences,
and Joel Thomas Watkins, Livingston, College of Business.
     Students elected for Spring 1997 were:
