e John I. Radcliffe In August of 1983, the vice president for academic af- fairs and dean of the college of arts and sciences retired. Two men were put into these positions that for 23 years were carried out by one man. Harding students had become accustomed to the ways of Dr. Joseph E. Pryor and knew what to expect from him. Dr. Neale T. Pryor was installed as the new vice president, and Dr. Dean Priest was chosen as the new dean. With everyone dis- playing understanding and patience, adjustments were made easily and smoothly. The intercollegiate athletic program was expanded by adding two new women's sports. Volleyball and basket- ball teams were fielded and these added an exciting extra dimension for women. The first year for any sport seem- ed to be more of an organizational period, but these teams competed well and earned respect from their op- ponents, other institutions and Harding University. During the spring semester of 1983, the InterClub Council met to discuss a new procedure for pledging. Complaints had been made in years past and 1983-84 was the year for a new idea to be put into effect. Instead of one week of intense pledging, it was decided that there would be one month of various events and activi- ties with special emphasis to be put on service projects. v I 10;, 1.
