PTK Candy Cane Sale Finances Kansas Trip Omicron Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa was officially in- stalled at RCC in 1926. Its purpose is to promote high scho- lastic standards and provide activities for those within the organization. To be eligible for membership, students must be en- rolled in a transfer program, have a class load of at least 15 credits and maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.00. The chapter this year had about 25 members and met once or twice a month. This year was a busy one for the chapter's members. Dur- ing the year several students went with counselors to area high schools to answer questions about RCC. During Christ- mas they sold candy canes as a money making effort to spon- sor a convention trip to Kansas which some members at- tended in April. A weekend get-together with members of the Austin chapter was held injanuary. Ioanne Cordes was the president this year. Dr. Donald Ol- sen was the adviser. 4 f7ll5Tl!-EES 5- FIDE. 4 Buffmeup 7 Husefwo 3. wire Ln 5' Nm IO I-rg jane Henselin and Randy Van Alstinc sell candy canes to finance a con- vention trip to Kansas.
