Eight Morehouse Students
Inducted Into Phi Beta Kappa
cont. from pg. 1
dollars per year, Morehouse is
still thought to be one of the
least expensive schools of its
kind.
While many students will
not be able to handle the in
crease, others say that they
don’t really mind but it is un
fair that you are not told these
things when they are decided.
Nevertheless, the tuition will
be $150 more and students are
urged to put enough aside this
summer to prepare for that.
On April 20, 1978, four
juniors and four seniors were
inducted into the Morehouse
College Chapter of Phi Beta
Kappa—Delta of Georgia—in
a ceremony presided over by
Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, the ■
Chapter president.
The cumulative averages for
the juniors ranged from 3.75 to
3.95 on a 4.0 rating scale and
the average for seniors ranged
from 3.57 to 3.71. Areas of
specialization represented by
the group are: Chemistry,
Biology, Mathematics,
Political Science, Sociology
and Economics, with some of
the students carrying double
majors.
In addition to the
undergraduates admitted to
the Chapter, there were three
Alumni inducted at this time.
They were Dr. James E.
Haines of the Morehouse
faculty, Dr. Donald R. Hopkins
of the Center for Disease Con
trol, and Dr. Hanes Walton,
Jr., of the Political Science
Department at Savannah
State University.
Because of their outstanding
undergraduate and graduate
records, as well as their
salutary contributions to the
academic arena, the society in
general, and their own
development and stature,
Delta of Georgia was happy to
welcome these three “Men of
Morehouse” to Phi Beta Kap
pa.
The names of the inductees
are as follows:
Undergraduates: William
E. Bell; Estrada Bernard;

Attorney Speaks
of Non
Immigrant Students
By Ronald Pettawav
Mark A. Eisenberg, a private
attorney in Atlanta, spoke at
Spelman College about the
status of non-immigrant
students and conditions under
which they may work in the
United States.
Eisenberg said that before
international students can
legally work in the United
States they must have been
granted permission by the Im
migration Naturalization
Services (INS). An F-l student
may work on campus if he or
she is not taking a job from
another student. The
maximum a full-time student
may work during the school
year is 20 hours per week. Dur
ing vacations and summer he
may'work full-time. :
Before an international
student can secure work off-
campus, he must have been
placed on an “unforseen finan
cial crisis” status by the INS.
Eisenberg felt that it was im
portant that an attorney be
engaged to legalize a student’s
work status. He warned
students that infringement of
any of the regulations could
cause deportation.
The Morehouse College Maroon Tiger is responsible for the
green newspaper boxes around campus.
