WORLD SCENE World involvement arouses concern within student body Current world events are of interest to all Harding Students. As war continued in one part of the world, Mao-Tse·Tung and Nixon made history shaking hands in another part of the world. Natural disasters alarmed many students. The flash foods and ice storms that paralyzed portions of the country affected Harding in a very serious way. Students were stunned by reports of the Nicarauguan earthquake, the attempted assassination of George Wallace, and the killing of Olympic athletes .
