I g n1 .il- l llllhl C lhlillllillllwgg The earthy style of .GENE COTTON There was the reap- pearance of a familiar face in October as Gene Gotton returned to the Harding campus for his third con- secutive perlormance. This time he brought his band with him. A more familiar name on the circuits,.he had pro- duced two songs, You're a Part of Me and Like a Sunday in Salem, that had risen to prominence .7-.I f ' .

However, the earthy style of Cotton had borne no change, to the pleasure of the Harding students who packed the main auditorium. He related well to the audience with his message-oriented songs and intimate monologues about his family while his band was on break. Y ' - ' ' fn? 4,1 l -X 1: 'z , . ,, 1 r X-3, ' if 1 l . --1.

Ryan cited three concrete benefits in the event - a tremendous recruiting device by getting prospective students lno less than 3,000j on the Harding campus, a profit-making enterprise that will some day benefit the school and increased club and intraclub relationships. Spring Sing adds a big Eb 'Qnvinn gint!! boost to the very popular Youth Forum, which draws young people of the high school age from all over the country. ln tact, Spring Sing has become so big that Ryan added a new Friday matinee to accommodate the huge crowd of visitors during the Youth Forum. The ll978 Spring Sing hostesses were Mary Carolyn Campbell, a senior from Trumann, Ark., and Karla Adams, a senior from Sear- cy. Tim 'Smith and Tim Woodroof were the hosts. Oege and Kings Men won the S400 sweepstakes award prize for the third year. Regina and Chi Sigs took a S300 prize as lirst runners-up, while Omega Phi collected S100 with a thirdplace finish. Zeta Rho and TNT took home S150 for fourth place while Shantih collected S50 tor filth place. Top: LAUGHTER in the au- dience was uncontained during the all-girl performance of Sun- ny Side Up by'Omega Phi. The production, directed by Mary Elizabeth Chinworth, won third place and a prize of 3100.

We kept telling ourselves that we could take it if we didn't win this year. Although expectations and anticipation was tuned to a low key, the clubs began planning sessions and prac- tices in January, and by the last four weeks before Spring Sing began, the weary members were prac- ticing three to four hours every night. I was a freshman and I wanted to do my best for the club, said OEGE member, Lynn Beason. When you're a freshman, you go all-out for everything. A common sentiment on campus as Spring Sing ap-' proached was the hope that another show would upset the King's Men-OEGE win- ning streak. We didn't want to back down just because we had won it two years in a row, said Lynn. We felt like we had the talent. It was Tim's last year. And it wasn't just the competition: we really en- joyed it. The club members got so close.Winning was an incentive, but it wasn't our only motivation. Spring Sing I
