In the spring, the club worked as a group and helped host the annual High School Language Festival at Harding. Spanish students from area high schools came to Harding arid participated in Spanish games and other activities, and they were able to talk to the Univestity students about the Spanish program at Harding . March 3-10 was Modern Foreign Language Promotion Week and the Spanish club participated by having a Spanish dinner and various informal activities. One of the special traditions of the club is hosting a dinner for Spanish-speaking people in the area. The students helped prepare the food and facilities and it was a good time to reach out to citizens in the community that may not have otherwise been contacted. The purpose of the Student Speech and Hearing Association was to promote knowledge about the fields of speech pathology and audiology in themselves, the students and the community. Member Beth Scott said, "When we meet every other Thursday, we discuss speech problems we have encountered in our work and other subjects that will help us in our classes and our work with clients." The group stayed active throughout the year attending workshops and lectures and conducting activities. In the fall, they traveled to the Veterans Hospital in Little Rock and observed some of the speech therapy programs. The club conducted campus-wide hearing screenings to aid in detecting hearing problems of students and faculty and heard quest speakers including Ms. Dixie Branscum, a public school speech pathologist, Dr. Evelyn Albritton, an augmentative communication specialist, and Jill Burroughs, a local speech therapist and Harding graduate. In the spring, the group traveled to Little Rock to the Easter Seals Center for a tour of the facilit ies and attended the Mid-South conference on Communicative Disorders. On March 5, they heard a speaker from the University of Mississippi on speech pathology. The club proved to be an effective aid to the students to help them learn more about their major and problems they might encounter on the job. '@ 1.
