1979-80 PTK
Predicts
Active Year
By HARRY PICKETT
Phi Theta Kappa’s primary objec
tive for the 1979-80 School year, is to
be as active as possible, says PTK
president Freddie Davis of Morgan-
ton, N.C.
Phi Theta Kappa is the national
junior college honorary scholarship
fraternity, which is opened to students
with a threeiwint average, who are
recommended by a faculty committee
and approved by the student members
of the organization. Chowan’s chapter
is Iota Delta.
This year’s club got started last
May with the installation of club of
ficers. Davis was elected president;
Lee D. Freeman III of Darlington,
S.C. was chosen vice-president; Ross
Newcombe of Ft. Ritchie, Md.,
treasurer; Tim Elliott, Gamer, N.C.,
secretary; and Harry Pickett of
Shallotte, N.C., reporter.
The club, which is sponsored by
faculty member Ed Wooten, will have
its first official meeting the second
week in September. The organization
will make plans to have a rummage
sale and a raffle” in downtown Mur
freesboro, according to Davis, to raise
funds for PTK.
“We plan to have a few doughnut
sales, and we’ve thought about having
a tournament of some kind, maybe
volleyball or cards to raise money,”
he added.
Other activities in which PTK will
be involve include the Phi Theta Kap
pa Leadership Conference in
Charlotte. All PTK officers are invited
to attend this special meeting which
will be held in September.
The PTK regional convention will be
held in Brevard, N.C. in February.
Last year, PTK members went to
Greenville, S.C. to the regional con
vention, and brought back the Travel
Award for travelling the longest
distance of any chapter.
In April, the national convention will
be held at the nation’s capitol,
Washington, D.C. Last year’s conven
tion was held in Kansas City,
Missouri, and Davis and Newcombe
were Chowan’s representives. “This
year we want to take 30 members to
the national convention,” Davis
stated.
“Last year we stayed at the conven
tion center attended a professional
ballet, went to see the Kansas City
Royals play Detroit, attended rallys
and went to a disco dance.”
Davis hopes that a member of Iota
Delta will run for a national office this
year. He noted that Kathi Barker of
Lees McCrae Junior College in Banner
Elk, N.C. was elected national vice*'
president last spring, representing the
Southern Region which includes
Chowan. The Southern Region is the
largest region representing PTK, ac
cording to Davis. “It stretches all the
way to Texas.”
Davis says that PTK will accept
about 40 new members this year.
Screening will take place next
semester, and says the new executive,
“We’ll be setting a screening to find
leadership.”
The screening will consist of a series
of interviews “to see how the new
students will work on Phi Thefta Kap
pa. Every person selected will be
responsible t» do something, and they
won’t be elected just because they have
a 3.0.”
The screening committee will be
headed by Bill English of New Bem,
N.C. Teresa Amold of Gamer, N.C. will
serve as the scrapbook chairperson,
and John Sullivan, an An-
nandale.Va.native, will bead the fund
raising committee.
“We urge all new students to build
their grades up, and join Phi Theta
Kappa, because its a worthwhile
cause,” Davis concluded.
