TIKE "These new clubs, with a strong leadership of a few older students, have made people happy that may not have been otherwise." - Patty Barrett I n a year during which several new social clubs were formed, it seemed inevitable for new brother/sister clubs to emerge as well. Men's club Pi Kappa Epsilon and women's club Chi Omega Pi were those emergent clubs - and emerge they did, in full force, with a combined membership of almost 120. When two large men's clubs, TNT and Titans, received almost 70 first choices more than they could accept, TNT member Stan Bennett and others came up with the idea of beginning a new men's club to accommodate this overflow. Members from TNT and Titans immediately began bringing this idea into reality and gave t hose 70 guys the choice of eit her joining the clubs they got bids from or joining Pikes. Pikes was born Monday, Oct. 30 during pledge week with 57 members. Actually, the club was reborn, as it took its name from a club once on the Harding campus that had disbanned in 1986. Original Pikes alumni agreed to aid the reformed club financially. Organizer Bennett said the guys bonded immediately and have been very excited about the club. Members from Titans and TNT served as temporary officers for the club until they could elect their own in the spring. Neville Adams serves as sponsor. Bennett said, "Pikes wants to become a constant in the club scene and to develop club pride and respect through their example as a club for Christ." Chi Omega Pi was formed under very similar circumstances. Ju Go Ju, Ko Jo Kai and Zeta Rho got many more first choices than they could accommodate, so several leaders from those clubs decided to start Chi-O's. "They're all very enthusiastic about getting started," "temporary president Penny Irwin said. "These girls have really pulled together as a club." By the time pledge week was over, Chi Omega Pi had 61 charter members and three sponsors Mary Lou Dunn, Lora Fleener and Sally Paine. This year also marked the club's first banquets and participation in Spring Sing, which the two clubs performed together. - Phillip Tucker Front row: David Bell, Dale Hearn, Gray Dillard, John Boles, Todd Gilliam, Mary Pat Miller, James McClung, Bryan Vanwinkle, Tom Ed Simmons, Lee Bell; Second row: Stan Bennett, Chad Massie, David Limburg, Kevin Yoon, Scott Busby, Jason Jones, Tim Yates, Jason Emerson, Craig Cla rk; Third row: Randy Williams, Eric Morgan, Jason Howell, David Kirkbride, Ken Webb, Dave Dales, James Moricca, Charles Blake, Clinton Blair; Fourth row: Matthew Day, Tim Ballard, David Smith, Jeff olivert, Frank Merritt, Chris Nuthak, Ronnie Hart, John Sibert, Jim Gassiott; Back row: Stacy Kymes, Mark Burt, Chris Carper, Eric Hollis , Rob Kernodle, Jay Adamson, Rich Ross. - Photo by Sharon Bowles.
