The Harding Student Nursing Association was the local chapter of the largest student association in the United States of America. It was completely run by students. Each chapter had an adviser from the American Nursing Association , however, this adviser only participated when called upon. More than 50 percent of Harding's nursing students belonged to the HSNA. This professional organization participated in conventions by sending one delegate. The fall Arkansas convention was held November 12-13 at the Camelot in Little Rock. The theme of the convention was, "Nursing: Stepping into the Future." In the spring, the national convention was held in Pittsburgh. Two of Harding's students held state level offices. Kevin Johnson, president of HSNA, was the state recording secretary. Cecelia Sanders was the state recruiter. Mrs. Louise Bradford, sponsor of HSNA, felt that students who were members of HSNA saw nursing as more of a career than just a job. In essence, the HSNA tried to change the image of nursing from the handmaiden of the past to that of a unique profession which can offer many different avenues. Six students lead the InterClub Council. In the fall, these executives established rules for pledging. They evaluated plans and acted as liasons between club members and the administration. Had a problem arisen, the executive council also performed the duties of a judicial board. In the spring, the council formed committees to work on different ICC objectives. Such committees prompted changes in this year's ICC functioning. Guided by senior Terry Hobbs, a new constitution was drafted. ICC sponsor Patty Barrett and junior Kelly Thomas designed a new club preference sheet. This new sheet made it more probable that students would receive a bid from one of their first six choices. Another change was one pertaining to ICC meetings. The council executives felt the office should be taken more seriously. A rule was put into effect which allowed no unexcused absences from meetings. If any one of the YI clubs went unrepresented at a meeting, that club was fined 15c per active club member. This year's executive council consisted of three returning members and three new members. Those returning included Hobbs, Thomas, and Cindy Isenberg. The new members were Steve Townsdin, Randy Boling, and Leslie Rose. - Rae Anne Carr IntcrClub Council 1 09 Harding Student Nurses A.;;sociation
