0 promote and maintain the T highest standards of creativity, performance and education in music is the formal objective of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia music fraternity. It was founded nationally in 1898 by Ossian E. Mills, a faculty member at the Boston Conservatory for Music. The chapter at our University was es- tablished in 1959. Currently Phi Mu Alpha has about 30 active members. To join the fraternity you must be a male and have a 2.5 grade point average, but you do not have to be a music major. ttPhi Mu Alpha is open to anyone with a sincere interest in music. You donit even have to be able to play an instru- mentfl said Dave Threlkeld, a music ma- j or from Russell and the fraternity presi- dent. The fraternity was established to promote American music. It used to be that all the best music and musicians were European. Phi Mu Alpha was es- tablished to make us competitive with Europe. I believe we are, and have sur- passed them in some ways, said Threlkeld. iiWeire here to generally promote music. We want to get music out ofBaird and to the rest of the campusf, con- tinued Threlkeld. One of the main activities of Phi Mu Alpha is a talent show usually held each spring. The show is open to everyone, though we usually have a lot of music people in it. Any kind of act is welcome, as long as it is in good taste, said Threlkeld. The show is a scholarship contest. The first-place winner receives a $200 schol- arship, second-place a $100 scholarship and third and fourth place winners each receive a $50 scholarship. Money for the scholarships comes from the $10 en- try fee, contributions, ticket sales and advertising from area businesses. iiWe don,t normally make money on the show, we usually take a loss. Its just something we do for the campus? said Threlkeld. Instead ofsponsoring the talent show, Phi Mu Alpha is doing the music for the Miss MSU Pageant this year. iiBoth shows take a lot of work, so this year were concentrating on the pageant. Phi Mu Alpha always used to do the music for Miss MSU, but this is the first time in several years that we have? Other activities of Phi Mu Alpha in- clude general maintenance for the mu- sic department, recitals usually held once a semester and acting as stage crew for concerts and recitals sponsored by the music department. One future goal for Phi Mu Alpha is to revive Art ala Carte or start a similar program. liStudent groups used to be paid to come and perform at ADUC during lunch. Weid like to start doing some- thing like that again to spread our music to the campus? said Threlkeld. Music majors and non-music majors alike are members of Phi Mu Alpha. II was originally a music majorf said Dwayne Imes, a senior R-TVHournalism major from Ashland. iiMy brother was a member and I wanted to be closer to him, so Ijoined. Besides, I,m interested in music and I like the poeple. Paul Hunt, a Greenupjunior majoring in R-TV, said, I hold music in high re- gard. I always want it to be a part of my life. I couldn,t get through the day with- out some kind of music. live found that this organization supports music and itls a lot easier to do that in a group, than individually. Even though Fm not a music major, I still feel as though I am a part of Phi Mu Alpha. . Phi Mu Alpha 47

'S.N.O.' you want to be a N urse? The Student Nurses, Organization was first organized in the middle of the fall semester and has been meeting twice a month since then. The University chapter was started when the former Eastern Regional Director of the Kentucky Association ofNursing Students came to campus. A meeting was held for inter- ested students, and oEicers were elected. In February organization members at- tended the K.A.N.S. convention in Owens- boro. Kellene Mosbacker,'a sophomore nurs- ing major from Batavia, OH, was elected to be the new Eastern Regional Director of K.A.N.S. Mosbacker also acts as secretaryl treasurer of the Student Nurses, Organiza- tion. The convention also played an important part for other members. iiAt the convention there were about 50 booths representing all of Kentuckyis hospitals, and they were all of- fering jobs, said Russel Williams, a Meally nursing major and vice-president of the Stu- dent Nursesi Organization. iiOut of the eight of us who attended the convention, seven plan to go on for our mas- teris degreesf, Mosbacker said. We are go;- 'ng to be the very first nursing class torreoeiy id Partm Student Nurse Oranization y, a bachelors degrees, since there is no longer an associate degree program? she added. The Student Nursesi Organization has about 10 members, some of which are not yet official. iiSince we are a new organization, at meet- ings we discuss fund-raising and community projects. Most 0fthese projects are still in the planning stagesf said Mosbacker. The clubs involvement includes the March of Dimes Walk-a-thon in April and as many health-related community activities as time will allow. iiWe are working on selling sweatshirts, and maybe a sort oflottery or raffle. We are even considering making name tags to sell to other nursing studentsf, said Williams. Dr. Betty Porter is the chair of the Depart- ment of Nursing and Allied Health, and she is the president ofK.A.N.S. Another vital mem- ber of the organization is Sandra Harris, presi- dent of the Student Nurses, Organization. Harris is originally from Olive Hill. All of us get along really well, said Mos- backer. iiNo personality conflicts exist. The Student Nursesi Organization, and even the t , r tself is. ayeryclose-knit group.
