Steve Awtrey (Big Buddies) Before embarking on a career involving hard work and dedication to the field of law, one should first find out if being an attorney appeals to him. Assisting students in this effort to discover more about the legal profession is the purpose of the Barristers. Sponsored by Dr. Raymond Muncy, the orQanization is a service club. The program of activities for the club this year included a trip to the law school at the Memphis State Univeristy campus . Students attended a class , talked with law students, toured the facilities and spent over an hour questioning the dean . Two students presently in law school and formerly members of Barristers returned to speak to the group : Alan Tomme, a freshman law student at Pepperdine University Law School in Malibu, California, and Jeff Broadwater, a . third year law student at the University of Arkansas in Fayettevi11e . Darrell Hickman, Arkansas Supreme Court Judge, addressed the group, as well as a representative of the Southwest Pre-Law Advisors Association, who discussed the expectations of law school admissions personnel. The Big Buddies program, under the direction of the College church of Christ and overseen by the Youth Services Committee, is a service organization established to offer male leadership to Searcy boys with no living natural father. Beginning with a slide presentation informing Harding men of the program, Big Buddies met for a swim party to inaugurate the year. Thereafter, Big Buddies and Little Buddies met together weekly for bowling , skating or other activities enabling Harding men to demonstrate spiritual leadership. The program is sponsored by Ed Wilson and Steve White . Plans to expand the program include offering free swimming lessons at the new pool to Little Buddies who wish to improve their water safety skills . Sophomore Steve Awtrey commented, "I believe that the Big Buddy program does me more good than anyone could realize because hopefully the influence I have on my Little Buddy wi11 change his whole life. Every little boy needs a male example and that is where I come along ." 1. BARRISTERS. Front row: Smith, Sheridan , McClain, Jordan , Hinds , Bowland, Keathley, Leonard.
