Tlleatre & Otller Grou~~: Campus Players, Pied Pipers, Skotia and Theta Sigma encouraged involvement in special interest groups on campus A lthough interests were diverse, there were plenty of opportunities to express yourself at Harding. Campus Players, Pied Pipers, Skotia, and Theta Sigma represented the students involved in acting and special interests. Campus Players was "Harding's drama club," said member Marisa Thomas. The club supported all of Harding's theatrical productions. They had a mixer at the beginning of the year for anyone interested in acting. Then, by earning fifty points by acting in or working backstage on productions in two semesters, members were chosen and inducted. The club had induction ceremonies annually. They took road trips to see other universities' productions and to view Broadway plays in Memphis and Little Rock. Pied Pipers strove to "bring joy into the lives of children," said member Christy Myers. They were a children's theater troupe who performed stories, poems, nursery rhymes, and rhythm sections for children in various places. They performed at the North Little Rock PediCAPTURE.

They were featured on TV 19's show, "Word Windows" giving public service announcements and stories. They traveled to Memphis, Mountain Home, and to Florida in the spring. Christy Myers thought that the troupe was wonderful and said, "we enjoy it as much as the children." The purpose for Skotia was to share its black culture with others, as well as motivate black students to achieve their very best in all things. The club had approximately twenty members and met every Tuesday night. As a service project, they visited the nursing homes on a regular basis. Their central activity was the Gospel Explosion. It was held during February, which was Black History Month. Theta Sigma, Harding's own Dr. Who fan club, used this year to get more organized. The group got together each week to view some of the 699 episodes of Dr. Who that have been produced over the last twenty years. Theta Sigma's main goal was to use a common interest to build friendships and to try to convince the local PBS station to put the show back on the air. - Lilli Carlton Pied Pipers, Theta Sigma, l l l Campus Players, Skotia
