For students especially, it was a welcome change since it afforded an extra week of vacation during the Christmas holidays. Eleven new faculty members were added to the staff to meet the needs of Harding's 2,060 students and the student· faculty ratio was held to 19.8. In accordance with the practice of recognizing high quality instruction, the 1971 Di st inguished Teacher Awards were presented to Dr. Raymond Muncy, Mrs. Ermal Tucker, and Dr. Winfred Wright. A plan for granting college credit on the basis of scores achieved on the College Level Examination Pro· gram (CLEP) was added to the aca· demic program. A total of 82 entering freshmen earned 1,741 semester hours of credit toward graduation. FINE weather makes a Harding swing the perfect study place for l ambert Murray.
