- Stall Photo _ Darrell L. Truitt _ John J. Raddille Tuesday Meetings Become Special Times Beta Phi geared up for the fall semester long before it began. Getting down to the Egyptian "nitty-gritty," the club teamed up with Beta Tau to present their award-w inning production of " Kickin' Up a little Sand" in the 1982 Spring Sing festivities. Gaining refreshing new popularity, Beta Phi grew in number and in confidence in the fall. " I feel that Spring Sing helped us build our confidence and made us proud to be Beta Phi," sa id junior Neil Thompson, president, of Marion, III. Thompson added that the largeness of the club was new to the group and took some adjusting. To aid members in getting acquainted, the men set aside a special time every Tuesday night when they could all get together and pray, fellowship, and generally "Social clubs sometime fall into two categories: allsports and ali-spiritual emphasis. The unique aspect of Beta Phi is that it provides.a refreshing mixture of both." - Tim Johnson have fun. The Tuesday night meetings became an important time for the club. Other activities included a hayride on the farm of one of the club members, a Christmas party at the Wyldewood Retreat Center, and devotionals with Theta Psi and Shantih. Beta Phi participated in all club sports, including softball, football, track, basketball, swimming, and volleyball, with at least three teams in every sport. Several Beta Phi members participated in the February Jog-A-Thon, and the club as a group volunteered to work for the Special Olympics held in the spring at Harding. When asked about the future of the rapidly-growing Beta Phi, Thompson expressed eager anticipation of time to come: "We are a growing club. We're all young and looking forward to bigger and better times." ~. 1. Beta Phi. 1. /. Smith 2. Oei 3. Duffy 4. Hutchinson 5. Law-athletic director 6. Montgomery-queen 7. West-v. president 8.
