A devotion to kindred fellowship and an enthusiasm in the many activities which brought them to a greater unity. The men of Alpha Omega were active in club sports, participating in a wide range of intramural athletic activities. They were especially successful in volleyball, taking the A-team championship in the small club division. They also participated in softball, bowling, basketball, football, and track. Some of the best times for Alpha Omega members were at parties which were organized and held throughout the year. In the fall they held a Christmas party at Pizza Inn. They had a Valentine's Day party in February and a year-end banquet in Little Rock. Alpha Omega was also service oriented. The men helped raise money for the J.0.Y. women's service group. They also helped a friend of the club move into his house an hour outside of town. With the resignation of Randy Lawson the year before, Alpha Omega faced the need to find a new sponsor, choosing Bill Lambert, a professor of Bible. The spiritual dedication of Alpha Omega was demonstrated in the many devotionals held throughout the year. From the outset of the year they made it a goal to hold devos every week. They also held two particularly memorable devos at B-rock. Member David Samples, a junior from Oakdale, La., summarized his feelings after his first year at Harding and as a member of Alpha Omega: ''From the start everyone became close. Members would spend a lot of time together, either jogging or lifting weights, and there was really a great deal of cohesion in the club. Small club fellowship is great!" <@> Alpha Omega 253
