By LISA HOPKINS Agriculture Honor Club Delta Tau Alpha is an honor society for people interested in agriculture. HAny stu- dent is eligible for membership as long as they meet the requirements, said Mr. Robert Wolfe, the advisor. Requirements include the completion of at least 45 hours with 12 hours of agriculture classes. Also, since it is an honor organization, there is a grade point requirement. There are two primary purposes of the club, Mr. Wolfe remarked. To recognize scholarship and leadership among agriculture students, and to promote the profession and industry of agriculture. Eligible students are invited to member- ship each semester. The group meets monthly and offers programs of special in- terest to its members. Local chapter ac- tivities include participation in the agriculture and Natural Resources depart- ments activities. Recently, the club sold MSU agriculture caps as a fundraiser. The highlight of the year for members is the national convention, held each spring at one of the member chapter schools. Last year a number of members from MSLI attended the convention held in Abilene, Texas. National officers are voted into the office at this convention and MSU usually has one member as a candidate for a na- tional office, Wolfe said. BY LISA HOPKINS

Teachers Kappa Delta Pi is Tan honorary organiza- tion for those intending to teach, accord- ing to Leila Sandlin. It's devoted to the development and enhancement of education. Activities for the group include guest speakers and picnics. The speakers often offer unusual insights and possibilities for those who intend to enter the teaching u; J profession. For instance, one speaker recently spoke about the job oppor- tunities teaching abroad. The club also has several charitable ac- tivities. They raise funds for charitable organizations and ttsponsor Indian students so they can go to school and be teachers, Sandlin said. Although membership is usually quite large, they don't appear very large on a campus because every semester many of the members are doing their student teaching.
