"You need a certain grade point average to join and they felt that it would divide the association," Assistant Professor of Psychology Dr. Harold Takooshian said. "The present administration was more receptive to the idea." He added that "the second reason we never had it before was that it costs the school about $150 to apply for a charter and that needed approval." Current membership includes 16 students and two faculty advisors, Takooshian and Assistant Profession of Psychology Dr. Margot Nadien. A membership drive is on to recruit more interested students with an application deadline on March 27 and new members will be inducted at an annual dinner on May 3. . According to Stravitz, who is also vice-president of the Psychology Association, membership in the society not only recognizes the scholarship of the individual members, but also the quality of their education. Criteria for the chapter's membership in the national organization include the school's ac- creditation, the training of the psychology faculty and the pscyhology curriculum. Membership in the CLC Chapter requires a 3.32 cumulative scholastic average, with a 3.5 average in psychology, and individuals must have com- pleted at least 12 credits in psychology, including an introductory course. "You don't have to be a psychology major, but at least have an interest in psychology," Stravitz said. The CLC requirements were raised over the na- tional level which is based on the upper 35 per- cent in class standing and requires only a 3.0 average and completion of only eight psychology courses. "But that didn't seem to be an indication of academic accomplishment," Stravitz said. "And that's what an honor society is supposed to be." However, in the meeting on January 29, a re- quirement of membership by invitation only was Looks Good!!! ruled out by unanimous vote. "We don't want this to be a snobby security organization," Stravitz said. "Basically if you have the interest and the cumulative, you can join."

Ah, yes, it's that time of year. Yet again I must weed through the platters of vinyl that I've collected over the year and decide what was worthwhile out of all the music that was produced that particular year.
