PRESIDENT Clifton L. Ganus progresses from "Pigstands" to President Petit Jean' First, would you please tell us a little bit about your family background? Ganus: I was born in 1922 on a farm in Texas about a mile out of Hillsboro. My parents were both very young when I was born - 19, I think. About two weeks later we moved to Dallas. My daddy worked for Pigstands, which were drive·in restaurants. I was seven when we moved to New Orleans where dad became manager of the six Pigstands there. In 1932 he started his own restaurant - something he had been dreaming of for a long time. I was 10 years old when I started working, waiting on carhops. I worked until I was 17, came to Harding. and even went home for a couple of summers to work in the business with dad. Pe tit Jean: Were you very mischievous as a little boy? Gallus: Yes , I got into a few scrapes, like burning a wasp nest and setting fire to the garage. But the wasps stung me and that took care of that. I got into almost everything that any little fellow would. It's a wonder I'm still alive. I remember running through a cemetery in New Orleans chasing a rooster when I stepped on a broken whiskey bottle and ripped my foot open about five inches. The lady with whom I was staying disinfected it with salt. It didn't 20 get infected - it didn't dare get infected . My life is just ftIled with things like this that make you wonder how I ever survived. But I guess they are all the normal boy's relationships and problems. Petit Jean' What did you want to be when you were growing up? Ganus: Oh, it varied. I wanted to be a cowboy or an iceman. I wanted to be a businessman when I came to Harding in 1939, and go back to work with my dad, but three months later I decided I was going to preach, and switched my major to history and Bible. But I said , 'There is one thing I will never do, and that' s teach.' This is my 27th year in education. Petit Jean: Under what circumstances did you first meet your wife? Ganus: The first time I saw my wife was when I arrived on campus - the first ten seconds. She and two other girls were carrying brooms, working their way through school. I stopped them and asked where the Administration Building was and they gave me directions . We met again at supper when I just happened to sit across the table from her. It was a Wednesday and I went to church. I happened to sit behind her, and somebody introduced me again to 2 Louise Nicholas from Strawberry, Arkansas. We started dating that Sunday, and that was it. We dated for four years until graduation, and were married about an hour and a half later. Petit Jean: When did you become president of Harding College, and why did you accept the job? Gaf/us: I became president in June, 1965. I served as vice-president for nine years before that, dean of the School of American Studies before that, and was head of the History Department since 1951. I accepted because I felt that it was one of the greatest things that I could do. I could have been preaching, but if I were teaching at Harding I would be multiplying myself and going out with every student who went out to preach. Therefore, I felt that it was one of the greatest callings. Petit Jean' What do you feel are the most decisive factors in convincing people to come here? Ganus: There are many reasons why people come to Harding. I think the greatest reason is the fact that we have a great product. We have an excellent faculty, student body and program, and we have results. This is what people are looking for - results. Put the package together and you have a good selling point . Petit Jean' To what do you attribute
the close relationships between students and teachers at Harding? Ganus: We have a faculty that is dedicated to the work of Harding. They believe in God and in man as a creation of God. They realize the importance of think the students are a very excellent aroup. They come from all over the "orId, but they still know our purpose and reason for existing. Both groups work harmoniously together, even though they don't always agree on everything. We must be Christians first and then be teachers, students or businessmen. It' s this Christian int1uence that makes the relationship and I think it's great. Petit Jean: How is your relationship with students? Ganus: I think you ought to ask the students that. I like our students very much, but I wish I had more time to spend with them. I'm just gone too much to have a reaIly close relationship with very many nf them, but I am close with a few. Petit Jean: How do you involve ,ourself with the community of Searcy? Ganus: I'm a member of the Lions Cub, and have been for about 20 years. I try to attend whenever I'm in town. I bave served on the board of the Chamber of Commerce, and I'm now serving as a director of the First Security Bank. This is my sixth year. Of course the church, of which I am an elder, is also part of the community. I try to be a part of the community in any "ay that I can. Petit Jean: What would you consider to be some of 'the most exciting moments in your life? Ganus: I think they are when our students achieve - either in winning a football an executive game or To me they are all exciting. I love sports and competition, whether it's in the Petit Jean , The Bison, dramatics or anything of this nature. When our young people come through and win victories this is the most exciting thing. Petit Jean: If you could have three wishes, what would they be? Ganus: My first wish would be that we please God. Second , that we would please men , and that they would open Dr. Ganus traveled to Africa last summer to visit church·sponsored schools and missions. He also spoke in seven Citizenship seminars . Among other honors he was recently included in Who 's Who and Outstanding also named standing Alumnus of Harding Award for 1972-73. 1. OFFICE dialogues are commonplace for Or. Clifton l.

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 . The national election brought renewed interest in political affairs as many of the students voted in their first election. Harding's young community shared the national disillusionment after failing to negotiate peace in 1972. 52

, -" ........ -~ MARRIED STUDENTS Married students enjoy participation • m campus groups The married students at Harding added new dimensions to every facet of college life.

Many cou pIes found that involvement in campus activities was very enjoyable. They participated in social club activities, Petitjean, and KHCA. Some of them worked in the Student Association representing the other married students.

LEISURE TIME Frisbees and bikes give students relief from tiring studies Leisure time is necessary to provide a respite from the daily routine of college life. Students spent their leisure time in various ways. Many used the time for rest or meditation in campus swings. while others chose to use it in releasing pent up energy. Tossing frisbees , playing tag football, and playing softball all proved to be campus favorites. Another favorite pasttime of the student body was bicycling. Hours were spent by individuals or groups riding around campus and countryside, often scaring wary pedestrians. Indoors, students often spent time in playful dorm pranks on roommates and friends. Then there were always hours of free time spent in rap sessions. 61
HOMECOMING Traditions return with parade and halftime ceremony The Homecoming schedule was revamped this year as tradition was reestablished with the building of floats for the parade through downtown Searcy. A new tradition was established as the first annual Faculty-Alumni talent show was held. There were concerts by the Iron Ticque and the Time of Day. The Man ofLa Mancha. this year's Homecoming musical , was a sellout. The chili supper and the Bison Stampede pep rally further added to the spirit of the weekend festivities. Other activities included banquets and breakfasts for the returning alumni of clubs, A Cappe lla, and Student Association. Bison football players kept the spirit high by giving the fans a 48-3 victory. During the halftime ceremonies Miss Carol Bucy, a junior vocational Home Economics major , was crowned queen. 62

LYCEUMS Student talent, professional groups provide pleasures The wide range of talent on our own campus complemented the professional groups sponsored by the Student Association to wind up the 1972-73 lyceum program_ Heading the fall program of S_ A_ activities were the musical groups Punch and the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose. The well-known group, The Lettermen. finished out the year with a note of top success. The little-known Reader's Theatre bloomed with success during the 197273 year. The high quality performance of Animal Farm resulted in an invitation to perform at Southern Baptist College. Among the best known groups on campus is The Time of Day. Although it was origmally created for recruiting purposes, their program expanded to include such activities as youth rallies and variety shows. This year's Homecoming production, Man ofLa Mancha, was a sell out. 64
