Two honor
chapters
greet new
members in
initiation
ceremonies
recently
By Vaness Douglas
Reporter
Phi Theta Kappa (PTK),
national honor fraternity for two-year
colleges, recently initiated new
members on South and NE campuses.
Rho Chi, South Campus
chapter, initiated 103 members,
bringing total membership to more
than 250.
“Our overall program’s
significance was indicated by the
number of initiates. We wanted each
new member and all family members
to know we, as educators, believe this
organization to be a viable force on
our campus and in the community,”
Mitchell McEwing, South Campus
dean of student development, said.
Dean of Instruction Jim
Worden extended greetings from
faculty and administration,
expressing appreciation for students
who strive for excellence in education,
chapter advisors reported.
Each advisor welcomed Rho
Chi members, giving their personal
expressions for the privilege of being
part of an organization honoring
achievement as PTK does, Advisor
Glenda Nichols reported.
New officer elections for
1989-1990 will be held during the
last week of classes.
Rho Chi’s advisors include
Annie Dobbins, counselor; Dr. Hap
Lyda, professor of philosophy and
religion; Glenda Nichols, assistant
professor of psychology; and Sandra
Ross, assistant professor of reading
and English.
Phi Tau chapter on NE
Campus intiated 49 members in a
candlelight ceremony with greetings
from Advisor Bobby Langston, NE
Campus associate professor of natural
science and computer science.
Out-going officers presided
over the initiation and inducted the
1989-1990 officers. They are Jeri
Walton, president; James Mclroy,
vice president; Russell Crosier,
treasurer; Elaine Neuwirth, recording
secretary; Sara Mobley, public
relations secretary; and Vaness
Douglas, historian.
Starr Farnsworth and Richard
Fosh provided the evening’s
entertainment by performing music
that included original material.
Phi Tau chapter requires its
initiates to attend the semester’s
beginning orientation, attend two
general meetings, serve on one of the
many committees, give a minimum
of one hour of time for a service
project and two hours on a fund-
raising project.
Other requirements are to
provide a transcript attesting to GPA
requirements, have two faculty
recommendations, complete all
application forms and pay all dues
prior to taking part in the ceremony.
Advisors for Phi Tau chapter
are Bobby D. Langston, associate
professor of natural science and
computer science, and Deb
Armstrong, instructor of English.
South Campus president retires after 23 years
members had to be augmented with part-time faculty.
The primary courses of instruction were academic transfer
programs, nursing school, drafting, electronics and industrial
technology.
“My two greatest accomplishments at TCJC were to help
initiate the televised instructional (ITV) courses and initiate a
one-year basic-courses program for students who need special
attention to meet the educational criteria,” Dr. McKinney said.
In the past few years, however, remedial classes have
replaced the basic-courses program.
Dr. McKinney, was honored at a reception on South
Campus yesterday and presented with several gifts.
Dr. McKinney and his wife were delivered to the reception
in a horse-drawn cart chauffeured by Helen Hogan, associate
professor of English and applied communication on South
Campus, who gave the couple a final tour of the campus in the
cart.
Robert Griffin, coordinator and instructor of electronics
on South Campus, presented Dr. McKinney a hunting rifle with
the assistance of James Harris, public safety officer on south
Campus, and Ben Head, South Campus photographer for
learning resources. In accordance with school policy, the rifle
was handled by a person licensed to carry firearms.
Frances Schuessler, associate professor of music on South
Campus and faculty association president, presented a Texas-
shaped plaque on behalf of the faculty association.
Arthur Pritchard, associate professor of English on South
Campus, presented Dr. McKinney with the plans for the cacti
garden which will be planted in his honor with the cacti
decorating the reception.
Dr. Herman Crow, president of NE Campus, presented Dr.
McKinney with the Northeast Branding Iron Award at a reception
on NE Campus April 5.
The Northeast Branding Iron Award was established in
1982 to recognize outstanding contributions by a resident of
Tarrant County to improve education in Tarrant County.
“I was quite surprised and honored to receive this award.
Being a member of South Campus, it was a double honor to
receive an award on NE Campus,” he said.
In his speech, Dr. Crow described Dr. McKinney as a man
who never neglected the opportunities and duties of a working
college president.
“He is a man who has supreme confidence in his future as
he Ryder’s west with his bride to launch anew career,” Dr. Crow
said.
