HO OR RIES Phi Beta Kappa The most coveted honor a XVabash scholar can receive is election to Phi Beta Kappa. This national scholastic fraternity was estab- lished on the XVabash campus in 1898. Each year. not more than twelve per cent of the graduating class is selected for mem- bership in Phi Beta Kappa. Iunior Phi Betes are also chosen at this time. In 1956 Indiana Beta had the unusual privilege of initiating three juniors, rather than the usual two, into the chapter. They were Bob Stoothoil, Dar- rell Lance, and Art Kovacs. The offices of the WVabash chapter of Phi Beta Kappa are: Dr. Wfalter Fertig, president. Dr. XVk1I'1'G1l Shearer, vice president, and Dr. John Charles, secretary-treasurer. Tau Kappa Alpha TKA is a national honorary for VVabash men especially interested in speech. Require- ments ior acceptance into this group consist of either having participated in intercollegiate debate or membership on the Speakers, Bu- reau for at least two years. Excellence in the Baldwin Oratorical Contest is an optional prerequisite for eligibility. Besides his work in forensics, the candidate for TKA must be in the upper one-third of his class. Dr. Vic Powell is advisor to the group and Bob Hiu't was president this year. Blue Key Blue Key is an honorary organization for NVabash men who are campus leaders but have also maintained a respectable scholastic average. Juniors and seniors who have dem- onstrated their capabilities in activities, in athletics, and in scholarship are eligible for membership. Blue Key awarded its scholar- ship trophy to Sigma Chi this year. Clarence Mann was president of Blue Key for 1956-57.
