Football Cheerleaders 228 AMA, PBL, Football Cheerleaders G ood news was carried throughout the region by the A Cappella octet called Good News. They were composed of four men and four women under the guidance of Dr. Allan Isom, head of the Bible department. A majority of the music sung by the group was contemporary Christian and sacred hymns. Included in their performances were some of the newest Amy Grant songs along with music arranged by senior Paul Lockhart. Good News served as an active representative for Harding both at home and around the region. On campus they have sung for such occasions as Board of Directors banquets, Associated Women for Harding events, chapel programs, and the Collegiate Christian President's council . They also had the special honor fo performing in this past year's Spring Sing show. The group also sang around the region at youth rallies, Harding faculty member's speeches and other congregations as well. The octet planned two short tours for last year. In the fall they travelled to Bedford, Indiana and in the spring they aimed to make a trip to Pensacola, Florida. Although the performers found travelling somewhat time consuming it was also a profitable way to spend their time. David Gaskin, a sophomore Good News member found traveling important because "It gives us an opportunity to see what other churches are doing to promote Christian education." Cathy Spivey, the newest member, said travelling was "an excellent way to show the school off." Good News was a relatively new group. They began in the fall of 1985 and have already become a close knit group.

The overall goal the singing group was trying to achieve was to communicate emotions through their singing that could not have otherwise been conveyed even through speech. Reflecting on past performances, junior Good News member Jana Thompson said, "A lot of times some of the women, especially the older ones, will cry. That makes it really special to know that you have touched someone:' Steve Gaither, a senior performer felt that "our singing encourages the older poeple by giving them the opportunity to see youthful enthusiasm:' Perhaps the overall purpose of the group was best summarized by sophomore performer, Teanne Baker, who said, "Our purpose is to glorify God and in doing that, we uplift others which cannot help but to cause growth within ourselves:' The American Marketing Association (AMA) spent its time involved in a variety of activities this year. The club sponsored marketing seminars with various presentations by area marketing people and hosted programs conducted by people in different marketing specialties. Their main goal was to allow the members and other interested people a chance to explore the opportunities marketing offers in the business world . They were proud to become a part of the national AMA this year. The decision proved to be a wise one as the AMA was an integral factor in Harding student involvement in the business world. In the fall, the student members participated in Harding's safes seminar. They heard speakers on several oc-
