Changes in all facets of Harding life have been prevalent throughout the years. We have witnessed a new era in the administration, a ttface-lifttt for American Heritage Cafeteria, a wom- en,s dormitory brought back to her in- tended stature, and the birth of a new menhs dormitory. Changes have been taking place all around us. Some have been subtle, others have abruptly made themselves known. As always, traditions have played a major role in our lives. This year was filled with the renewing and strength- ening of this antiquity. Spiritual vital- ity was displayed in daily chapel pro- grams. Curfew afforded resident stu- dents the opportunity to fortify friendships with other dorm dwellers. Clubs and organizations inducted new members according to the desires of members, and life revolved around the guides set by the administrators. New traditions, however, have been established recently. Changes in buildings on campus affected the stu- dents and faculty alike. The people of Harding were able to take advantage of the new facilities in the communica- tion department, as the remodeling of the Ganus Building was completed at the beginning of the school year. L0- cated 0n the first floor was the Macin- tosh Computer Center. It had 18 Mac Plus Computers, four imagewriters, and a laser printer. The Mac lab was the largest of its kind in the state of Arkansas. 2 Well keep the change WRAP THE POLE. Represen- tatives from every women's so- cial club wrap the May Fete Pole on the front lawn.
