The group worked hard this year in order to make the homecoming musical go off well by performing for it, and by giving several other performances throughout the year. These other performances included a trip to Little Rock for an Associated Women for Harding meeting and several teas. The orchestra, which holds a Christmas concert and a spring concert each year, was also open to play for other various Harding-related functions upon request. Plans for this year included playing for the public schools in the area and accompaniment of the Suzuki Violin students, who range in age from three to 14. Cox has been a member of the orchestra ever since she moved to Searcy 13 years ago, but the 1987-1988 school year was only her second to serve as director. Channel 12, Harding's own student-run television station, once again offered another year of entertainment for the Searcy area. Channel 12 was directed by organizational sponsors Mr. Mike James and Mr. Lou Butterfield. The station offered hands-on experience to students majoring in communications. The students ran the television cameras, directed the programs, and served as the talent. Channel 12 began broadcasting every weeknight at 6:30 with a live news program that supplied students with information on national and campus news as well as sports and weather. There were also several different positions behind the camera that students could fill, including producer, director, sports and remote commentators, and editing, just to name a few. Other original programming by Channel 12 included a game show called "Trivia Buffs," a sports talk show, and remote sports events, such as football, basketball, baseball, and volleyball. This year, Channel 12 experienced a transitional period. The station became an affiliate of NCTV (National College Television), along with approximately 200 other colleges. Channel 12 was on the air from 6:30 until 10:00 each night for 12 weeks during each semester. This was a transitional one and a half to two hour increase over the last few years' programming, giving even more time to entertain the student body and allowing communications majors even more time to earn job experience. - Darin Martin Channe1 121 0 1 Chamber Orchestra
