Watts - Maumelle, AR 138 Shades of Sophomores __D_._irt Cheap Dates r( he average Harding date L followed a rather rigid formula; guy asks girl, guy picks up girl, guy pays for girl. As if conjuring the nerve to initiate the date wasn't enough, the collegiate guy was often faced with a rather burdensome dilemma - low cash flow. Yet, when the chips were down (and the dollars as well), Harding men were often inventive and through the determination forced upon them by the laws of supply-side economics, alternatives were found which offered all the amor of any other date - plus they were dirt cheap. S.A. movies were cliche. The selection was decent and few couples had trouble with the orie or two dollar admission. Surprisingly, some of the more entertaining movies (the 16mm "What's Up Doc?" for instance) were only 50¢. Ah, how many generations can say they went to movies for the price of a coke?? When the weather was cool, Wyldewood was hot. Wyldewood, a retreat center located at the edge of a line of jagged cliffs and the Little Red River, offered afternoon enjoyment for all types. One of the outstanding complaints among Harding students was lack of privacy on campus. When trekking to Little Rock proved too costly - gas alone made the trip worth the cost of several S.A. movies - where could couples go just to kick back and talk away from the eyes of their peers? Why, Garner, Ark., of course! Where? Garner is a little-known town on the "other" side of the freeway. Being a modest town - a bait shop and a gas station with a cafe - it offered only minimal entertainment in the culinary arts. But it did have a seclusive atmosphere which many discovered made it one of White County's bestkept secrets for those on the dating scene, with Bald Knob running in a close second. Greer's Ferry Lake, just a stone's throw from the heart of the Ozark Mountains, proved to be a most popular recreational spot in the early fall and latter spring semesters. The Cliffs became a byword for sunnyweather adventure and fun. Located in Heber Springs, it was a place where couples congregated to revitalize old tans gone pale and old friendships gone stale. ~ - Bill Everett
