~Honors organizations q(for unique learning el1l:>ironment KAPPA OMICRON NU CHAPTER PROVIDES INSIGHT, KNOWLEDGE The Family and Consumer Science Department boasts the Nu Delta chapter of the national honor society, Kappa Omicron Nu (KON). Thirteen members were inducted in the fall and 14 more were added at the beginning of the spring semester. KON existed to give it s members leadership skills in their field, according to the sponsor, Dr. Ell en Daniel. "This organization is good because it gives the students leadership ski ll s that many other peopleare not getting. They are going into their fields with more ab ilities than other people," she said. Senior Lovie Sell ers, KON treasurer, said, "It will be a really good reference for academic and extracurricu lar invo lvement especia ll y for the officers; prospective employers will notice that we are active in much more than just our regular studies." Senior Meredith Morriss, KON secretary, said, "I think this club is good because, when we are in our classes, we are broken up into majors, but in this club we are able to meetso many more people." The meetings featured guest speakers from a variety of fields , includingMorriss' major, interior design. "I really enjoyed having guest speakers, especially the one that came and spoke about interior design. Listening to her speak really helped me realize what the fie ld is all about," Morriss said. The speakers were very informative about the experiences they had in their fields. "Many speakers talked about howdifferent things had happened to them and why they had changed from their planned occupation to another one," Sellers said. Dan Baird, Dr. Pat Gamer, Brian Pinrow and Michael Moss prepare their position for a debate. Pi Kappa Delta honored outstanding debaters. • 272 ORGANIZATIONS "My major isvocational family and consumer science, so it's really good for me to hear them talk. It has really helped me to narrow rfly focus," Sellers said. Another thing KONdid in the fall was to hold a self-defense workshop. This workshop was for all Harding students, faculty and staff. The workshop was free for thewomen, provided they brought a kitchen or bath item to be donated to the Searcy battered women's shelter. This service project was chosen because it helped the Harding community by teaching them how to protect themselves, and it helped the battered women of Searcy who find lodging at the shelter. The kitchen and bath items were given to the women after they left the shelter and moved out to their new homes. - Meredith Hlasta "'Drama is the study of human nature, for everyone is a dramatist at heart.' In order to promote more interest in drama, and to encourage the best in acting, directing and staging, the Eta Omega cast of Alpha Psi Omega was chartered in 1940. To be selected for membership, a student must be a member of Campus Players, maintain satisfactory scholarship, do a specified amount ofacting and show willingness to do backstage or any other useful work. Eta Omega has provided an incentive for hard work on the part of those interested in the theatre." - 1951 Petit lean
