Alpha Psi was a club composed of Harding students who showed outstanding ability in dramatic productions, set and costume design. The " drama club," which is by invitation only, completed its ,' 25th year on campus, making: it one of the oldest departmental groups. A major objective of the club was to create an interest in and in· form students about acting and its many adjoining activities. Drama, which one member defined as "the art form where a person can become someone else," was discussed evny meeting along with plans for the club. Approximately 20 people were members of the organization. This helped each person lean on others in hard times in their field. Ward Bartlett , a senior from Pontiac, Mich., said, " Keeping people in· volved in drama after they get discouraged by some kind of failure was a key factor in Alpha Psi. Club members supported and encouraged one another which gave us all the drive to go on." One of the more active honor fraternities on campus was the Arkansas Zeta chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, the largest of the na· tiona I forensics fra·ternities. Members were selected based on their level of participation in inter· collegiate forensic tournaments. Under the leadership of its spon· sors, Dr. Evan Ulrey and Dr. Patrick Garner, Harding's chapter has competed well against other Pi Kappa Delta 'squads in both regional and national con· vention/tournaments. Last Spring, at the regional tournament of the Province of the Lower Mississippi, the Harding 'squad received an overall "superior" team rating in competition and Dr. Garner was elected secretary· treasurer for the Province for 1980·82. The biennial national convention/tournament was held April 1-4, in Gatlinburg, TN. In addition to the competition, Pi Kappa Delta strived to promote service and brotherhood among its members.
