Adolfo Matamoros, Phi Kappa Phi secretary, said being involved in the society was beneficial to KU students.
The University of Kansas chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, a national academic honors society, is now accepting member nominations.
Students must be in the top five percent of the senior class or the top 10 percent of the graduate school to be eligible.
"They're being recognized as outstanding students from the academic point of view," he said. "It's something they can show for the quality of work they put in at KU."
Matamoros said membership benefits included numerous scholarship opportunities on local and national levels as well as a national newsletter published exclusively for members.
Membership nominations are due Sunday, Oct. 15 in 2060 Learned Hall. For further information, contact Matamoros at 864-3761.

Black Student Union sponsoring voter drive
The Black Student Union is beginning a voter registration drive from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.today at the Kansas Union lobby. The group will sponsor a
table at the drive.
The drive will continue throughout the week, with tables from noon to 2 p.m. at Wesco Beach tomorrow and outside Haworth Hall from noon to 2 p.m. Friday.
Cassandra Young, Black Student Union vice president, said the group wanted to get as many people from different backgrounds as possible registered to vote.
"A lot of minorities don't vote, and we thought that some minorities might feel more comfortable or be more receptive to other minorities saying it's important to vote." Young said.
Young said about 70 people registered to vote at the Black Student Union weekly meeting Monday night.
"We're just trying to get voter awareness out — why you should vote, how many minorities actually vote and how their vote could actually affect the voting process," she said.

Wichita woman files suit against Firestone
WICHIТА — A Wichita woman is the latest to file a lawsuit against troubled tire maker Firestone, claiming the company stalled refunds for its recalled tires.
Michel Barnes has asked the court to order Firestone to reimburse customers so they can replace the tires more quickly.
The Firestone recall was still two months away when the front tires of Barnes' 1995 Ford Explorer shredded in June, she said.
Barnes paid to have the two front tires replaced. But she began worrying about the new tires, as well as the two old ones, when Firestone issued a recall of about 6.5 million tires.
Then on Sept. 1, the National Highway Safety Administration issued a consumer advisory about an additional 1.4 million Firestone tires.
She said she learned it would take up to eight weeks to get new tires, or she could pay for them herself and wait for reimbursement.
Her suit contends such a practice discourages people from replacing defective tires.
Firestone faces more than 100 lawsuits across the nation. The lawsuits need court approval to become class actions, and lawyers say that ruling could be from six months to a year away.
In addition, Nazi flags and more than 10,000 bullets also were allegedly found at Richard E. Schaeffel's home.
Firefighters find skulls, weapons in house
SPOTSWOOD, N.J. — Firefighters extinguishing a blaze at the home of a retired radiologist discovered a cache of rocket launchers, grenades, assault rifles and two human skulls, authorities said.
Schaefle, 54, who earned a Bronze Star for his service in the Air Force in Vietnam in 1967 and 1968, was charged Monday with 10 counts of unlawful possession of illegal machine guns and jailed on $750,000 bail.
One of the skulls came from a hospital where Schaefle was a radiologist and another from an auction, assistant Middlesex County prosecutor Michael Weiss said.
Schaeff's attorney, A. Kenneth Weiner, said his client was just a gun collector and had fired only one — a registered Colt. 44 — at a range twice.
Saturday's fire was reported by a passing motorist and suppressed within 30 minutes. Schaeffle escaped through a second-floor window.
NEW YORK — American and North Korean officials wrapped up several days of talks with both sides saying they had made progress on negotiations aimed at ending a stalemate involving North Korea's development and export of missiles.
Officials make progress in Korea stalemate
Details of the meetings would be announced possibly later this week, said Charles Kartman, special U.S. envoy for North Korea.
Kartman said final arrangements were being worked out for a visit to Washington next week by Cho Myong Nok, the first vice chairman of North Korea's National Defense Commission
President Clinton will meet with Cho, considered second in command to the North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Il, from Monday to Thursday. Oct. 12. The State Department said it was an important step forward in promoting bilateral relations.
The talks come amid slowly improving U.S.-North Korean relations following attempts at reconciliation between North and South Korea.

Nebojas Pavkovic's unprecedented efforts to resolve the impasse at the Kolubara mine complex — a supply source to a key power plant — came as a second day of blockades, strikes and walkouts gripped Yugoslavia.
