5 and election - Chris Genry. Perhaps the last three SA subgroups - spiritual life, movie, and SAC - were the most visual. Their additions to the University's year, however, were essential. Steve Awtrey headed the first, Harding's spiritual life committee. Seminars such as those given on dating by Paul Faulkner and discipleship by Jim McGuiggan built a deeper faith in many. The "lily pool devotionals," generally held in the Recording StudiO, swept the campus and 3 gave students a conviction rarely seen in previous days. Attendance hovered around the 800 mark for much of the spring as student speakers shared a part of their hearts with their fellows_ Tim Petree led this special Thursday night assembly. Jonathon Cloud worked silently but effectively with a committed crew in his special effort, Stepping Out, a dream to take the major cities for Jesus soon. Awtrey and friends also collected an enormous amount of money for the hungry Christians of Poland as Harding students learned the valuable principle of giving. With such shows as "Superman I and II," "Victory" and "The Green Berets," the movie committee overseen by Mark Fonville provided enjoyable entertainment for weekends in Searcy. The SAC, student activities committee, was co-chaired by Terri Harmon and Steve Bible. A few of their many programs were the Freshman-Transfer Talent Show, the Randy Gill coffeehouse and concerts with stars like Juice Newton and the Wright Brothers. An experiment the Executive Committee found beneficial this year was the open student meetings. These were times when randomly selected people could enter the scheduled SA gatherings and give feedback or suggestions_ The SA's theme for the 1981-82 year was found in Hebrews 13:8. The message was short yet penetrating: "Jesus is the same," Each activity and plan was begun with this verse and this Savior in mind. To harness the potential of 3,000 people and form a plan of involvement for them was the vision and task of main ly four students. President York was assisted by Vice President Mark Clay, Secretary Karla Kell and Treasurer lac Muncy. Many hours of work were spent and numerous prayers whispered so th~t an exceptional year could be experienced by all. "Greg (York) has done a great job; no one can ignore that fact," said Muncy. "He has been really positive in attempting to get more people involved. I am pleased with what has been accomplished. This year has gone far beyond what I ever expected it could_" ~ 1.
