HONOR SOCIETY INDUCTS FOUR AT THE UNIVERSITY

Three Southeast

Missouri State University seniors and a faculty member recently

were inducted into the university's Sigma Pi

Sigma Physics Honor Society.

Inducted were Nancy M. Blechle of Perryville, Mark A. Wetzler

of Chaffee, Isaac A. Kunz of Marquand, and Craig

Joseph, assistant professor of astronomy.

The four were inducted during a ceremony April 2 in the

University Center. Joseph was inducted as an honorary member.

Sigma Pi Sigma operates within the framework of Southeast's

chapter of the Society of

Physics Students (SPS). Students inducted into Sigma Pi Sigma are

required to have above a 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale, and

be in the top 15 percent of

their class.

The local chapter

was founded in 1969. Since then, 55 Southeast

faculty and students have been inducted into Sigma Pi Sigma.

The society is national in scope with chapters based at colleges

and universities across the country. More than 370 of the 550 SPS

chapters now include an active Sigma Pi Sigma chapter. Total

membership is more than 58,000.
