National Honor Society Inducts Students and Faculty
by Lisa Pavadore
Collegian Staff Writer
The induction of new
members to the Omicron Delta
Kappa Society was held on April
19, rewarding those
undergraduate junior and senior
students, graduate students,
faculty and alumni for their
achievements in the scholastic,
athletic, social and creative
aspects of college life.
Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK) is
a national honor society, which
was founded on Dec. 3, 1914 at
Washington and Lee University in
Virginia, by students and faculty.
For the first 60 years of ODK’s ex
istence, women were not in
ducted. This law was changed in
1974 in New Orleans, since
women contributed to the idea of
ODK.
The purpose of ODK is to
recognize those students and
faculty who have displayed
positive contributions in many
areas of college life including
scholarship, athletics, social, ser
vice and religious activities. Cam
pus government, as, well as the
media and performing arts are
other areas of endeavor in the in
duction to the society.

ODK not only recognizes
students and faculty, but also
creates a positive interrelation bet
ween the two. It displays mutual
interests and the ability of
students and faculty to share these
interests.
The ODK Society emphasizes
assuming responsibility and
cooperating with others. Being a
scholar is not the only require
ment for induction into ODK.
The induction of new members
from Penn State-Behrend to ODK
was held in the Reed Lecture Hall.
Among those-who participated in
the ceremony were Dr. Eldridge
Roark, Jr., ODK National vice
president, Dr. John M. Lilley,
provost of Penn State-Behrend,
and Chris Reber, an ODK alumni
member.
ODK inducted 36 members into
the society. They were: David
Allen, Christopher Anderson,
Kim Bodnar, John Burke, Duane
Crider, Marcia Crotty, Deborah
Duer, Jeffrey Eagley, Amy
Frisina, Douglas Gerow, Renee
Harrison, Dohn Harshbarger,
Robert Hostetler, John Kennedy,
Herbert Lauffer, Joseph Ledford,
Kathleen Luke and Gail
McGaughey.
Diana Hume George and Dr.
James Madison Davis have made
efforts to bring Tempus to na
tional recognition.
The 1985 issue of Tempus is
now on sale. According to
Michael Robert Kitchen ( Tempus
treasurer), “We feel the 1985 issue
of Tempus is in many respects bet
ter than last year’s edition. We’ve
expanded the format in several
significant areas.” He continued,
“Of course, the students of
Behrend will be the final arbiter of
the quality.”

“Members are elected by pre

‘great communicator’ on the
world stage.”
Jennings feels that Gorbachev
will continue with Andropov’s
policies of tackling domestic af
fairs first, specifically, problems
of declining education and
ieteriorating ideologies. “The
major concern of Soviet leader
ship is the declining attraction to
communism on the part of Soviet
youth. The fear that the Soviet
Empire may one day dissolve is
likely to have a more negative im
pact on the Soviet psyche than any
driving ambition for freedom in
the Western Democratic sense.”
Jennings went on to say, “The
Soviets have earned the reputation
“The major concern
of Soviet Leadership
is the declining at
traction to Com
munism on the part
of Soviet youth. 9 ’

defeated Hitler and Napoleon and
are a very proud people. They’ve
achieved superpower status in a
very short time. We’d do better to
remember this.”
To conclude his speech, Jenn

foreign policy at least not while
Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko is in charge. “The

opportunism, balancing where
they can, American strategic in

“Lambda Sigma is a sophomore
honor society, and in the spring of
1982, junior and senior students
decided to become involved in a
local honor society—Omicron
Beta Kappa (OBK). From this
society, members are given the op
tion to be inducted into ODK
which is a national leadership
honor society,” explained Har
shbarger. Harshbarger also
pointed out that, “It is important
for colleges to recognize those in
communist countries like
Hungary for domestic political
purposes those cherished links
between us might well be
shattered.”
Questions asked following the
speech ranged from domestic
policy to the Middle East and
Russia. The Peon State-Behrend
Collegia asked Jennings, “Do you
think that when Reagan leaves of
fice in three years that he will have
made a significant contribution to
our long-term arrangements with
the Soviets and might the two

dividuals who go beyond filling
the shoes of the average student,
and that students and faculty alike
are brought together to associate
in something positive.”
According to a new ODK
member Melinda Stasenko, “I
consider my induction an honor,
because not only do I represent
Behrend College, but in a way I
represent myself in my leadership
qualities, and I am proud to be
recognized for these contributions
I have made.”
Jennings replied, “Reagan is
the first President since WWII no
to have a summit meeting with the
Soviets. Reagan opposed it for a
while and is now' trying to initiate
it, but Gorbachev is dragging his
feet due in part to being so oppos
ed to the “Star Wars” policy. He
doesn’t want to appear to be
agreeing with Reagan on any
points. I feel that the President
has a tremendous opportunity to
manage the relaionship in terms
of arms control negotiation, but I
don’t suspect he’s going to alter it
