, BIOLOGICAL ~CIENCE New club implemented by department and Dr. Burks The Department of Biological Sciences made some changes as a Biology club was established and a Science and Nursing Advisory Council was formed. Dr. Mike Plummer served as acting chairman of the department. In conjunction with President David Burks, Plummer implemented a Biology club named Da Vita. Da Vita; latin for "about life," was developed in the spring and "evolved into a promising organization" said Shelly Dakall, president of the group. Dakall also explained the group's purpose as a device "to bring more cohesion among the Biology faculty and students. We worked on setting a sound foundation, which was our year's goal." The club's focus, however, was academics. Da Vita set up a Biology lab which offered tutoring to students in Biology courses. The club also offered taxonomic aid services, which removed unwanted snakes from the community as well as identifying unfamiliar plants in gardens. The club was geared to give experience to its members outside of the lab. The Science and Nursing Advisory Council was developed to give students the benefit of professional experience in their fields. The council set up a number of lectures throughout the year. The lectures were given mainly by former Harding students who work in the Biology profession. -Robin-Marie Roberts Ronald H. Doran, M.S.- .
