What made this year significant from those in the past? Surely standing in line for everything from registration to cafeteria meals was the same as was the routine of classes. However, change surrounded us and made its contributions to the academic year. Perhaps the first visible sign of change as students returned to campus for the year was the new green and white directional signs erected in Searcy. Noticed next was the controversial closing of Center Street in front of the Student Center. A more important happening was the election of Harding's first woman Student Association president. Susan Brady won a decisive victory over her male opponent . The cry of "back the band" was sounded with results as the marching Bison Band fielded 100 members for the first time and added a flag corps. Problems had to be worked out as the college updated and switched to computer registration. Students were hit by inflation during financial registration as tuition was raised to help meet the spiraling cost of running the institution . The addition of a second Pizza Hut in Searcy enabled the fourth annual Harding Day at the restaurants to raise a record $3,500 for the school. The intramural field was moved south to make room for the George S. Benson Auditorium on which construction began in March . A lot of innovations can happen in just one year! 5 1.
