Homemade Sidewalks 'There's a mathematical principle that goes something like this: "The shortest distance between two points is a st raight line." It can safely be said that this principle is appreciated to the utmost by the stutlents and faculty of Harding Uni versi ty. To wit: Harding's homemade sidewalks - or the "Where is the sidewalk when I need one?" dilemma. I've often wondered why Harding's chief~ planners didn't make one gigantic sidewalk fo r the whole campus. Surely it couldn't have taken too many more bags of concrete mix. But even as blessed with the cement walkways as the students are, there are still those pioneering. spirits who choose to do without these silly inventions and strike out on their own. Thus, we have "homemade" sidewalks. They are quite primitive in appearance, but they serve their purpose - apparently very well. The track that runs between Kendall and Cathcart dorms is a perfect specimen of what I am writing. ue Ann Jones - Ringling, OK. Public Relations.

One leads to the front door of Kendall and the other goes between Kendall and Cathcart, and on to the parking lot. To connect these two sidewalks, we have a course that is well-trodden. Another fine model is the trail that runs parallel to the side of the Media Center. It was amusing to note that this footpath is within a few feet of a network on connecting concrete walkways. Approximately five sidewa lks come together in this spot, but during the pre- and post-chapel "rush hour ," the footpath becomes the popular alternative for the feet of the mobs. Admittedly, this subject is not of sufficient importance to merit an investigation from administrative authorities, but it is an interesting phenomena. As I was thinking of the irony of it all, 1 strolled slowly along, books in hand, toward my room. Suddenly, I looked down, and 10 and behold ... - Vernon Thompson ONE small step for man, one giant step for the invention of a new sidewalk.
