ERVICE •Social Work Club, Sociology Club, Alpha Delta Mu, • The Social Work Action Team (SWAT) was a service organization on campus consisting of about thirty members typically for those with a major in social work. During the fall the group visited the Arkansas Pediatric and Childrens' home and state jail facilities. The club also participated extensively in the service work of the community. SWAT was a part of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) and EIP (Early Intervention Program) which was designed to educate children at an early age about the facts of drugs. The group also honored the resident of the month by featuring a resident of Leisure Lodge, Oakdale, and Byrd Haven Nursing homes during chapel. SWAT also took part in the Big Brother/Big Sister program in which students were paired up with children who needed special attention within the community. The organization was a valuable tool for the social work majors because it helped students discover what their jobs will entail in the future. The group was sponsored by Mary Shock and Louise Pace. Alpha Delta Mu was an opportunity for social work majors to get involved with an honor society. They were also sponsored by Shock and Pace. The Psychology Club's main goal this year was to educate majors in the field of Psychology and to better acquaint them with the growing number of job opportunities in their field. The club met bi-monthly under the direction of advisor Dr. Walter Porter and assistant advisor Jack Thomas. On January 25, the Psychology club attended the Fort Roots Mental Hospital in Little Rock. The club also was involved with the community with their participation in service projects. The club also attended various lectures in different areas of Psychology. The goal of the social oriented clubs was to gain knowledge in their respective fields. -Kyla Martin BUMP IT! Rae Anne Carr, senior, lunges to bump the volleyball.
