• > > Although classes are the most vital part of our college education, they do not educate the whole person. Therefore , over the years, many organi~ zations have been established at Harding to provide a basis for appl ication of the principles we have learned in ou r classes and as an outlet for the demonstration of our talents. Organizations set up an environment which is conducive to putting these principles into action and as a result , gain facets of education that one would rarely get in a classroom. A wide assortment of interests characterize the Harding student body; thus the variety of groups active during the year. The Student Association actively recruited interested students to become involved with one of their committees and those with an interest in music were offered the opportunity at the beginning of the fall semester to audition for one of the choruses, the marching band, or the Belles and Beaux. Bison and Petit Jean staffs got work underway dur ing the year, giving those interested in journalism practical training in publications. KHCA continued its quest to provide mass communication majors with hands-on experience and was aided in that quest by the formation of the Channel 12 cable television station. In addition to providing the Searcy area with local coverage, students participating in the new project were benefited as well. Departmental organizations kept their members abreast of new developments and advancements in their particular field of interest. The hono r societies opened membership onl y to those exhibiting academic excellence after completing a predetermined number of hours. Each of these organizations was guided by a faculty sponsor who had a relatea professional background and interest in the organization. Working with these groups yielded many desirable results, such as the development of leade rship, creativity , and the ability to serve others. The organizations also played an important role in helping us link together the "pieces" of our education. - Nallcy Thompsol1 Orgallizatiolls Editor Inside Organizations Petit Jean Staff 212 213 214 213 216 218 220 225 230 241 Bison Staff Channel 12 Staff KHCA Staff Student Association Campaigns Special Interest Groups Music Groups Academic Groups Honor Societies
