Burks brought many new ideas to the university. He added parking lots, and computer labs and changed chapel and the dress code. He also changed some of the administrative staff, the faculty staff, the cafeteria and the College Inn. However, more than the physical aspects of the campus changed. With the new president everything on cam- pus seemed to be a state of transition. - Sharon Bowles es;evt e. c-y .r , .g..v ens vq-ot syyou at eh -i5 a ' s u y v .4A.a.4$nn..v.su.:l.4.9es-an-aa,awastes'..g.e n c. a eEs fahmt Dress code - two of the most dreaded rules in the English vocabulary.

However, the dress code on campus was the men handled the enforcement of the more strict. Unlike last year, mini skirts were outlawed because dresses had to come to the knee. ltThe new skirt rule seems unfair because the current style of skirt length is short. The rule stifles the fashion because we are not permitted to wear the current style? said Angie Thomas. Men also had some strict dress codes.

To begin with, he was sponsor of the menis social club Titans which enabled him to become involved in their lives as he attended meetings and sponsored par- ties. His concern also showed in his treatment of students in his classes and on the Petit Jean staff. He welcomed these students into his home for parties and socials show- ing his love and concern for them. Glances at Student Life 22 curfew rules.

Honorary speakers at, lectureship This was a Ihow-toI lectureship that was very practical concerning evangelism in the local churc . a Eddie Cloer escue the Perishing, was the theme of the 64th annual Bible Lectureship held on October 4-7. Eddie Cloer directed the event, serving for his fifth year in that position. The Lectureship featured 45 speakers as compared to last yearis 27 and boasted approximately 120 presentations during the four-day period. Cloer said, IIThe Lectureship's theme was along the line of a soul-winning workshop, and that is what we wanted? Four key speakers were selected for the evening presentations of the Lectureship: Jerry Rushford, from Agoura Hills, CA, Jeff Walling, from Mission Viejo, CA, Harold Hazelip, from Nashville, TN, and C. Bruce White, from Jolton, TN. Speaking Stewart. A reception honoring three speakers, Jule L. Miller, Owen D. Olbn'cht, and I van Stewart was heId in the cafeten'a during lec- tureship week.

First, more classes per day were scheduled: 33 for a total of 99 classes during the week. Also, each speaker delivered his messages on the same day, in- stead of spacing his lectures over the three- day period, as in the past. This allowed those speakers who could not stay for the entire event to come just for his day of l e s s o n s . Secondly, the lectw'eship Book, publish- ed yearly, contained all lectures and classes from the week unlike last year. Cloer said, ItThis is the first time, to my knowledge, that all the lessons have been published in the yearly book. Also this is the closest thing to a Iisoul-winning workshop book that has ever been prin Finally, a special appreciation dinner was held in the Downtown Church of Christ for Jule L. Miller, Owen D. Gilbricht, and Ivan Stewart, all believed by Cloer to be IIThIee men who have probably contributed more to awakening the brotherhood to personal evangelism than anybody else. $ch Oadd 6t! 1 went to hear the inspires ing Tim Laws speak en youth ministry He had come to my home church when I was a senior in high school so When I heard that 3113,: WQuld be speaking at the lee- tureship I knew I had to hear him wkkjm Lectureship Student Lift- 21

after curfew. Late permis- sion was very difficult to obtain, and usually had to get it from the manager or assistant manager. And probably the hardest to digest - no more signing out to other dorms during the week. Regardless of the posi- tion of ments dorm residents in the situation, rule enforcement was felt by the long-sheltered men of Harding. - Phillip Tucker On the floor. Chapel devo- tionals strived to be more personal for students. To achieve this goal, Mr. Cliff Sharp Ieads singing from a microphone brought to the students level. - photo by Bill Tripp. I Bits Probably the most dramatic transition we faced this year was the transfer of leadership into the able hands of Dr. David Burks. We ex- pected to see many familiar edifices undergo facelifts; it was apparent that the change in com- mand would bring with it new alterations to man time-worn conventions. One of these as the chapel format. Since Harding began, so has chapel. Its foun- ding purpose was singular: spiritual ediflca- tion. Yet, Harding aged, and the concept of chapel began to take on an ex- panded definition. The ultimate goal never changed - its focus re- mained always with the Spirit - yet chapel grew also into a medium for mass communication and 5 Bytes: I Besides the computer labs already opened I in the Science Building and the Business I Center, two new labs opened up on campus. I The first lab, the Ganus lab, was tem- OI porarily located on the first floor of the l Ganus Building before moving to the l American Heritage in the spring. It was I developed and requested by faculty members I in the departments of comunications, art and I home econmics for courses needing design I and word processing. ltI use the lab during classes and for my I own personal use. I do term papers, class I assignments and various advertisements for I the Student Association Committee? said I Craig Cheatham. l The lab contained 20 Apple Macintosh OI Plusses, four Apple Imagewriter dot l printers, and one Apple Laserwriter printer. I The other lab, called the writing lab, was I located on the third floor of the American I Studies Building. It was equipped with five I Macintoshes and emphasized improving I writing skills. Though open it gave priority to English and education I students working on assignments. I Both labs served students as they worked I on graphics or page designs, and typed I themes, articles or papers. to all students, - Sharon Bowles entertainment. This year we observed a new unpredictability in the devotional period. Suddenly, the traditional two songs-prayer-scripture reading forumla was replaced with a variable program which set no prescriptions 011 format and no limit ont he number of songs sung in any one devotional. Song leaders and speakers were brought down from their ttivory towersil on stage and began conducting chapel from floor-mikes at eye level with the stu- dent body. One welcomed change was the elimination of uannouncement day. Before, Wednesdays had been reserved exclusively for the exchange of cam- pus news and infromae tion. This year, campus news was spread thinly Compute me. The new graphics lab gave students the I Chance to create graphics on the computer.

All the while, we knew that these shifts in chapel service stemmed from our new presidents in- terest in ttintegrating faith and learning and would undoubtedly serve to foster our spiritual maturity. In efforts to reach this end, some things were trimmed from the chapel itinerary Yet we never lost the fellowship, the opportunity to commune each morning with friends. Neither did we lose the other motivator - ten-absence limit. - Bill Everett
