It was exclusively for students majoring in pre-medicine, and was one of the two preprofessional clubs on campus. The club meetings usually centered around speakers who spoke on topics related to the whole experience of med school. The purpose of the club was to get physicians in town so that the pre-med students could meet them and discuss important topics related to their entrance into medical school and also what will be expected of them on their journey to being a doctor. Speakers also helped the students learn how to deal with the struggle of juggling a career, a family and their christianity while in medical school. Eric Bowen, a senior, said "The Pre-Med Club was a good source of strength. As well as our sponsor, Ed Wilson, whom I have gotten to know during classes associated with my major. The speakers who have come to talk to us, have given me a lot of insight into what my job will be like - not only what my job is going to be like but what it will also be like during my years in medical school." The College Republicans started the year off with a strong emphasis on political campaigns. The club worked very hard to promote their candidates here on campus. One of their biggest projects was a voter's registration drive. "We wanted to increase the student body's interest in politics and encourage everyone to exercise their right to vote," said Foy Campbelf, a senior from New York, New York. "Even though it appeared that the Democrats won all the elections, the lower level positions went to the Republicans, which will lay a good foundation for future elections." Last year, the College Republicans initiated a statewide retition drive in support o Reagan's "Star Wars" defense plan. Some of the activities planned for this year included a visit to the governor and the reorganizing of next year's campaigns. The College Republicans hope to put a big emphasis on the upcoming presidential primaries in the fall of 1987. Wanda Van Houten said, "The organization is definitely a factor in local elections in Searcy. More people need to get involved in politics and the shaping of American policy. When no one speaks up for what's right no one can complain when things get out of sync." The Campus Players were heavily involved in Harding dramatics. The organization was designed to give student actors a guild for interaction with fellow student actors and an outlet for their theatrical skills. Campus Players was the oldest organization on campus. The group was formed at Harding College at Morrilton, serving basically the same function as it would serve over 50 years later. "The main benefit from Campus Players is not only for people to get involved in theatre but there are social benefits as well;' said sponsor
