l l ji': ' in Late afternoon brings a typical Arkansas shower, Umbrellas appear over the campus, while some students remain on schedule, never minding the rain. The sprinklers continue to water the grass and sidewalks. As the afternoon wears on into evening, classes continue, but there is a gradual but definite change of pace in the day as extracurricular activities are pursued. Students move from classes, in which they are divided for required courses, into special interests, where they are individuals with each his own particular talents and goals. ln the Music Building, at various times of the afternoon, the musically talented members of the Chorale, A Cappella, and Belles and Beaux meet for practice. At 5:00 the Marching Band meets. This evening they are hosting a guest speaker, Ted Altman, Dean of Students. This time of day also provides the chance for many ofthe student workers to put in. their hours. Some are secretaries, such as Cindy Beggs, who works in the Speech Office. Others are janitorial workers, such as Carol Manley and Susan Balding, who this afternoon are mopping the auditorium floor. Meanwhile, on the l.ntramural Field behind the Olen Hendrix Building, there is an exciting game of club football. Knights are defeating defending champions Theta Tau in small club division. Their 8-0 victory will advance Knights to the championship finals. Elsewhere on campus, near the Bell Tower, two friends sit in a swing engrossed in conversation. Soon, it will be time for supper, but' right now students are taking the time for special interests. Q 1.

I ' Getting it I together The clubs at Harding are one of the ties that make family units from over 1,500 students. The large room of Bible 100 is a busy center for club meetings tonight: 5:45 for the Timothy Club, a special interest club for Bible majors, 7:00 for Knights and Phi Delta, who are meeting jointly, and 9:00 for Chi Sigs. Also meeting A gba I S at various times in the Bible Building are Delta Theta Epsilon, . OEGE, and King's Men. Kappa Phi, meeting at 7:30, are getting it f mf 5 together in the Ganus Building. Evening: completing the circle lt's 6:00. The cafeterias have closed their serving lines and a tew students sit around the tables in groups, joking and laughing. Many of them are members of the same clubs. They've already finished supper, but the women have changed from dresses to jeans: and since no one has a pressing schedule to meet, they are in no hurry to leave the relaxed conversation. The lights are dimmed to encourage their departure, so, hesitantly, the' groups break up and, in two's and three's, they string out of the cafeterias. The One Acts, a series of short comedies and dramas fthe second set this semesterl, began at 6:00 in the Little Theatre. Also at this time, the videotape of last year's Spring Sing is being shown in the recording studio. ln Bible 100, Gailyn Van Rheenen is speaking to the Timothy Club about preaching to different cultures. The library is occupied by a large number of people tonight, not uncommon for the small building which is quickly becoming inadequate to accommodate the growing number of students. Particularly crowded is the periodical room, where many find articles for outside reading required in most courses. loe McReynolds, the librarian for tonight, is showing a student how to find a particular bound periodical. Several men are reading newspapers the headline of one, the Arkansas Gazette, reports that the Panamanians are to vote on the canal treaties. In hushed voices, two people discuss an assignment in a class after discovering that they are both looking for the same magazine. Less crowded are the carrels upstairs, which are occupied by those who find the dorms too noisy for concentration. The facilities of the gym are open to students tonight. Others, such as Keith Percell, may be found in the laundry room, studying, while his clothes finish drying. For just socializing, the Student Center and dorm lounges have ping pong, Monopoly, lively Rook games, television, and a lot of people. The familiar ringing in the Bell Tower at 10:25 calls students to their respective dorms. On the front steps of Stephens, near the pillars of Pattie Cobb and New Dorm, and on the sidewalks near Cathcart and Kendall, couples are scattered, saying their goodnights. Almost simultaneous with the turning of the locks to the girls' dorms, the telephones begin to ring. Most of the telephones will be busy until around 12:00, especially the hall phones. In dorms that are not wired for private lines, trying to find a free telephone can be a frustratingrtask, in spite of the five minute limit on telephone conversations. The halls are alive with talking, visiting, and blaring music. Around 12:00 the wings are calmer. Many are in bed now. A few with pressing assignments are studying. Some who have late permission are checking in with the late-duty R.A.'s. One by one, the lights go out. The tired students are closing their eyes for their five or six hours of rest after their 25-hour day. Few have trouble getting to sleep. The circle has finished itself and begun again. Many have gone to sleep tonight, thinking of what's to be done tomorrow, some reviewing the events of the day. ln the sense that it has been a circle, the day of October 24th has been typical: yet, the events that were tangent to today's circle have made it unique. When there is this dynamic combination of both the typical and the unique, a lot can happen in a day. One Day ' 25
