Campus Players and Alpha Psi Omega were honor clubs with Alpha Psi Omega being a national chapter and Campus Players a local organization. Robert Patton, director of Alpha Psi Omega, said, "The two clubs are the source for most of the productions. We direct, recruit support, and act in them." Campus players had the honor of being one of the ol - dest clubs on campus being established in the early 1940's by Mrs. Armstrong. Savannah Morley, president of Campus Players, said, "Both clubs are basically a drama club. We put on productions and help the theater group. " To be in both clubs you had to contribute to the plays and musicals accumulating a certain number of hours. Morris Ellis was the sponsor for both groups. Orie of the newest organizations on campus was Pied Pipers. Directed by graduate student Andy Kronenwetter, the club was designed "to entertain children in a unique way and to make each of them feel special." The groups know about 40 songs and many stories, but because of their impromptu style of acting their performance was different every time. The club performed for schools all over Arkansas and schools in Memphis. The crowds ranged from just a handful to over 200 students. Ann Loftis said, "I just love being in Pied Pipers. It's so rewarding to perform and see the happy looks on the children's faces. It's just great." -Sharon Bowles IMPROMPTU.
