Kappa Sigma Iota: KSI Recognizes Outstanding Scholastic Ability Kappa Sigma Iota, General Bead1e's scholastic society, was organizad in 1923 by Dr. E. C. Higbie, former president at General Beadle. The purpose of KSI is to promote, secure, and maintain a high level of scholastic achievement in every phase of teacher preparation, to encourage and support out- standing service in the field of education, and to foster high ideals of professional fellowship. In keeping with tradition, the KSI has limited its on-campus membership to approximately twenty students. To be eligible for membership in KSI, a student must have a B 13.251 average or above. 65 This year ten students were selected for membership in the organization, thus making a total of 436 elected members over the years. The Kappa Sigma Iota annually awards scholar- ships to its members at the Initiation Banquet which is held in the spring. Sharon Lunt and Lee Ann Tj arks were this year's recipients. Dr. Ernest Teagarden, associate professor of history, serves as advisor to the honor society. Serving as KSI's officers were Joel Jorgensen, presi- dent, Joan Byllesby, vice-president, Martha Iken, secretary-treasurer: and Janice Pamperin, historian.
