Competition plays big role early, Harding sponsors an intramural College Bowl tournament from which five of the best players are selected for a varsity team. This varsity team practices one or two hours a week with sponsors Dr. Larry Long, Dr. Dennis Organ, and Dr. Fred Jewell using previous College Bowl questions and a simulation of actual competition. In February, the team travelled to a regional, doubleelimination tournament in Houston, Texas, where they competed against both big and small schools. According to Long, this year 's team has an advantage over those.in previous years because it is "more balanced." Dramatic activities are the main focus of the Campus Players. The oldest organization on campus, the Campus Players is an honor organization for those who have done meritorious work in all areas of drama -acting, directing, and tech work. Every semester , the Campus Players try to present one production in which cast and crew are comprised mostly of Campus Players. This spring, the organization sponsored "The Bear" by Anton Chekhov, which it not only presented live, but also shot for a television movie. The philosophy behind the Campus Players, said President Phil Thames , is to "Glorify God through our means of communication - our theater, our talents." Competing in both debate and individual speaking events,_the Forensics Team travelled extensively throughout the year. The team usually goes to six to eight intercollegiate tournaments a year, and this year competed in tournaments in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. In March the team travelled to the regional tournament in San Antonio , Texas. Aside from debate , forensics included interpretive readings and prepared and extemporaneous speeches. The team has done very well this year and, as it has recently gained many new members, promises to continue its success next year. 4 College Bowl.
