The fall musical, The King and I, involved the majority of the club from leading roles to back stage workers. There were five student-directed productions during the spring including Impromptu, Dogs of War, Monkey's fllw, If Girls Asked Guys Out, and Battle ofthe Budget. A threeact play, Ghosts, was directed by the club sponsor, Dr. Morris Ellis, also. As the oldest organization at Harding, Campus Players backed all shows and performances and were in charge of the technical aspects of Spring Sing. The highlight of the year for the Campus Players involved White County Hospital as a service project. Roxie Troillett, head of personnel development at the hospital, asked the students to create several three-minute skits portraying areas the hospital wanted to improve concerning patient employee interaction. According to Leann Reas, a graduate student member of the club, "This project gave Campus Players a chance to use our talents to serve Searcy as well as to entertain them.' ' "Traditionally Harding has always fielded a strong Business Team and is hoping to continue the tradition by achieving national recognition for the University," said Mr. Mike Emerson, sponsor for the Business Team. The Business Team gave the four-member group of senior level business related majors a chance to simulate competition among other "businesses" and an added insight into management skills. The organization also showed them the types of problems they might face and gave them the opportunity to solve these problems without the pressure of actually owning the business. However, the team treated their competition with an attitude of seriousness as they began problem solving in February and delivered their final business decision in April. The competition was sponsored by the University of Nevada in Reno, where the team met with other college and university teams from all over the United States. Ben Smith , a senior team member from Inverness, Illinois, said, "I enjoy the competitiveness of the business world and the opportunity to work with others toward the common goal of finding the best solutions.'
