J m mmw . Q uue T i. With economy and employ- ment down and inflation up, the tuition of an institution like Har- ding may seem a little steep. Several students raise objections and question the need for such elevated prices. What some may fail to realize is the list of expenditures that a university has and the fact that a private institution receives no federal aid. The income from stu- dent tuition and board does not even begin to meet the expenses. The totals of salaries, academic support, student services and in- stitutional support already exceed the dollar amount that the stu- dents pay. This doesn't include Tuition Turmoil large expenditures such as operat- ing and maintenance plant and student aid. In fact, the $9,281,874 received from tuition and fees tfrom all Harding institu- tionsl barely pays for salaries and student aid. This forces the administration to raise money from endowments and gifts. This past year $708,000 was expected from endowment in- come the highest figure ever, and $1,148,551 was needed from gifts just to balance the budget. Dona- tions came from alumni, business- es and foundations. These costs don't include the building program. The Science Building Addition under construc- h h l MIIWIIIII I l I tion, as well as the new Mabee Business Center, are paid for by gifts, also. These two buildings together cost over two million dollars. However, Harding is not the only university with this problem. Others such as Lubbock Chris- tian, Alabama Christian, David Lipscomb, Ohio Valley, Freed- Hardeman and York Colleges all have lower enrollment figures but must raise equally large sums. A better comprehension of university expenditures should lead to the students' understand- ing of tuition turmoil and what ex- actly it pays for.

Radcliffe COD CQRC VAR1GCXZ Aside from the weekly S.A. movies the Harding campus was alive with a variety of concerts and lyceums. Different speakers and bands appeared on campus to give the students the entertain- ment they wanted. Working to- gether, the Student Association and Dr. Jerome Barnes brought Harding students the best talent available. Even though the big events were Air Supply and Don Williams, the smaller shows allowed for the smaller pocket book and provided interesting or humorous entertainment for the audience. The main fall presenta- tions included the Wright Bro- thers, Gil Eagles, and the Arkan- sas Symphony Orchestra. Michael Iceberg performed late in the spr- ing semester of 1983. Like a one-man orchestra, Michael Iceberg filled the Benson Auditorium with the eerie sounds of his synthesizer. In his February performance he included songs of other various bands and original selections from his own albums. Within the incredible Iceberg Machine, he controlled a series of seven synthesizers, a drum com- puter, and other special effect devices to enhance his stage show. Among his other performances Iceberg appeared in the European Tour which promoted EPCOT, a traveling world's fair that spotlighted different cultures. He .t - Iohn I, Radcliffe uummmmmmmnm has opened for K001 and the Gang at Radio City Music Hall and at the grand opening of Disney World in Tokoyo, Japan. The unusual sounds of his Iceberg Machine impressed the Harding students and provided an enter- taining concert. Beginning the concerts of the school year on August 26, the Wright Brothers performed coun- try-western songs for the Harding audience. Between each song the main vocalist for the Wright Brothers led the group in humorous jokes which made the concert more than a series of songs. With harmonious back-up vocals and a friendly attitude, the Wright Brothers established a good rapport with the students. Performing for the first time at Harding, Gil Eagles entertained the University students with his amazing ESP reading and hypno- tisms. During his October 15 stage show, Eagles hypnotized several students who had volunteered their minds. The students under Eagles' control fulfilled everything he had told them. These activities ranged from reeling in the largest fish the student had ever seen to sending Eric Pipkin as Tarzan, in- to the audience looking for his mate, Jane. During his concert, Eagles stressed that hypnotism was not a mysterious magic and revealed to illnmmnmmmlmumuumlllmulmuumllumlmm '2; wma uInumuunmmlnmmmlumm Iummmuunmuu g f? a Iuhn Ir Radcliffe gamma IIImuluunummmlmumm:niuiuuwmmmmnmu F his audience that anyone could ac- quire the necessary skills for hyp- notic control. Finally he sent the participating students to their seats with a few simple instruc- tions. At the sound of Eagles' name the hypnotically-controiled students stood and shouted, Co for it, baby! Conducting the Arkansas Sym- phony Orchestra in its November 15 performance, Robert Hender- son opened the program with Mo- zart's Overture, Marriage of Figaro. Though the whole produc- tion was instrumental music, it was directed mainly at the classi- cal layman. The Symphony played familiar tunes from popular movies that helped the audience identify and appreciate the orchestra music even more. Another feature during the pro- gram was soloist Mary Ann Til- ley. Singing'lNon so piu from Marriage of Figaro and Viljia, The Merry Widow, Tilley com- bined good stage presence and a confident, light voice to give a professional performance. Working together, Dr. Jerome Barnes and the Student Associa- tion opened opportunities for the students to attend the lyceum of their interest. Because of Barnes' and the S.A.'s attention, the 1983 fall concerts successfully provided a variety of enjoyable programs. h Michael Kelly .
