Harding Student Nursing Association (HSNA) is a subdivision of the national organization and a member of the state organization. Louie Bradford is the faculty sponsor, who works closely with the student elected sponsors, Susan Smith and Tawna Pounders. "We promote nursing and health awareness in the community and on campus," stated Pounders. "HSNA gives the students the only political experience on campus and for some even after they've started practicing." HSNA participated in fund raisers, mini-seminars, and "I LOVE HEALTH" week this spring. In the health week promotion, nursing students handed out pamphlets, took blood pressures, and checked blood sugar levels. Many of the students attended the national convention in Chicago, where they voted on bills concerning what the student association will support. The program consists primarily of junior and senior year students. Susan Silliman said, "I'm only a sophomore this year and couldn't do a whole lot, but hopefully when I'm a junior I can be more involved." The Student Arkansas Education Association was a new organization on the Harding campus. Formerly known as TECH, the group used this year to reorganize and find new activities. The group's membership was open to anyone certifying to teach, but the majority of its forty memebers were either elementary or special education majors. Sponsored by Jeanine Peck and Marilee Coker, the organization sought to help students become better prepared for teaching. This was accomplished by attending and hosting various workshops which dealt with keeping the students knowledgeable about the latest teaching techniques and by making them aware of the current issues facing educators. In the fall, the sponsors and officers attended a state SAEA convention in Hot Springs. Later in the semester, a film on Space Shuttle astronaut/teacher, Christy McAuliffe, was shown. Her statement, "I touch the future: I teach;' became the motto for the group. President Angela McDonough, a senior from Enterprise, Alabama, stated, 'by accepting the role of president, I was able to experience firsthand being among those who have been involved in education for many years. Having this experience, I feel prepared to reach the one main goal all teachers have: to make a difference in the lives of young children." Sponsored by Beth Wilson, the Dietetics Club was an organization with its membership open to any student majoring in dietetics or with an interest in dietetics. The club was led by president Mary Thomas, a senior dietetics major jor from Tulsa, Oklahma. The club held its meetings monthly and had an interesting facet of originality: many of the speakers were former Harding students who returned to share their vocational experiences. Other activities of interest included discussions of job openings for the senior members, and any new findings in the field of nutrition. The highlight of the year for the Dietetics Club was a tour of restaurants' and hospitals' facilities. This year, t_he group went to both Searcy hospitals and to Shoney's. Members also attended the state dietetics convention in Little Rock. Although small in number, the Sociology Club was definitely big on enthusiasm. The club was made up of students from variuos majors. Anyone interested in helping people solve their problems could join. The club's goal was to educate the community and student body on probems that exist in social services and the remedy of these problems. In accomplishing this goal, September saw the club hosting a departmental retreat
