The Graphic Side of Harding =:JC or communications students, r the theory of the classroom was often just not enough. Students learned the skills of their trade in the textbook, but the addition of the new graphics lab, installed late in the fall semester, provided a handson center for practice of classroom skills with state-of-the-art technology, giving students the necessary practice for their careers in the vocational world. "It is a boost to the morale of our mass communication majors to have access to the latest technology;' Dr. Evan Ulrey, communication department chairman, commented. "Our main interest is to train them thoroughly in the use of the equipment:' The graphics lab, located in the American Heritage building, contained the equipment of the most advanced desktop publishers. Four computers, Apple's Macintosh 512K Enhanced Computer, were installed initially with five more to be added in the future. Two printers, including a new-technology laser printer, were provided as well. The computers contained various software packages for designing highresolution advertisements, informational graphics, work processing and page layouts. A light table, drafting table and typewriters were also furnished to aid students in further designing their computer-processed works. Jack Shock, professor of communication and director of the lab stated that the equipment would also be used to design and typeset a departmental newsletter to be sent to Harding alumni. The immensity of the system was such that Harding, in association with Apple Computers, planned to hold seminars for other colleges and universities in Arkansas and Texas to display the lab. According to Dr. Ulrey, only one other school in the state had a similar package. "Desktop publishing is definitely the wave of the future;' Shock said. ''Many businesses will be doing in-house publishing and our graduates will be trained to fill these openings:' ~ - Bill Everett Anticipation.
