He served on the Finance and Taxation Committee and subsequently received a $3600 grant from the Arkansas Endowment for the Humanities to conduct informative seminars throughout the state. The ten seminars put the newly-written constitution before interested Arkansans and invited their suggestions before the convention resumes in the summer of 1980.

John Jordon, another former Harding student who was attending Vanderbilt Law School, addressed the Barristers twice. Other speakers included Dr. Raymond Muncy, chairman of the history department, and student members Mike Roden and Cindy Fearno telling about the Law School Aptitude Test. Speaking once again, Arkansas Supreme Court Justice Darryl Hickman made his annual appearance before the group. In October the Barristers traveled to the law school at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville and then visited the UA-Little Rock Law School in February. "Barr isters has helped me know what to expect about law school," said Fearno. "Also, it has helped me deal with the aspect of law itself and to get a handle on what it's really like instead of leaving it as just some abstract term." Continuing she stated, "It has also helped me in preparing for the LSAT." Partly attesting to the benefit of membership in the Barristers was the fact that five Harding graduates were admitted to law school in the fall of 1979.
