after curfew. Late permission was very difficult to obtain, and usually had to get it from the manager or assistant manager. And probably the hardest to digest - no more signing out to other dorms during the week. Regardless of the position of men's dorm residents in the situation, rule ~nforcement was felt by the long-sheltered men of Harding. - Phillip Tucker Probably the most dramatic transition we faced this year was the transfer of leadership into the able hands of Dr. David Burks. We expected to see many familiar edifices undergo facelifts; it was apparent that the change in command would bring with it new alterations to man time-worn conventions. One of these as the chapel format. On the floor. Chapel devotionals strived to be more personal for students. To achieve this goal, Mr. Cliff Sharp leads singing from a microphone brought to the students' level. - photo by Bill Tripp. Since Harding began, so has chapel. Its founding purpose was singular: spiritual edification. Yet, Harding aged, and the concept of chapel began to take on an expanded definition. The ultimate goal never changed - its focus remained always with the Spirit - yet chapel grew also into a medium for mass communication and 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bits ~ Bvtes: Besides the computer labs already opened in the Science Building and the Business Center, two new labs opened up on campus. The first lab, the Ganus lab, was temporarily located on the first floor of the Ganus Building before moving to the American Heritage in the spring. It was developed and requested by faculty members in the departments of comunications, art and home econmics for courses needing design and word processing. "I use the lab during classes and for my own personal use. I do term papers, class assignments and various advertisements for the Student Association Committee," said Craig Cheatham. The lab contained 20 Apple Macintosh Plusses, four Apple Imagewriter dot printers, and one Apple Laserwriter printer. The other lab, called the writing lab, was located on the third floor of the American Studies Building. It was equipped with five Macintoshes and emphasized improving writing skills. Though open to all students, it gave priority to English and education students working on assignments. Both labs served students as they worked on graphics or page designs, and typed themes, articles or papers. - Sharon Bowles entertainment. This year we observed a new unpredictability in the devotional period. Suddenly, the traditional two songs-prayer-scripture reading forumla was replaced with a variable program which set no prescriptions on format and no limit ont he number of songs sung in any one devotional. Song leaders and speakers were brought down from their "ivory towers" on stage and began conducting chapel from floor-mikes at eye level with the student body. One welcomed change was the elimination of "announcement day." Before, Wednesdays had been reserved exclusively for the exchange of campus news and infromation. This year, campus news was spread thinly across the week by administrators, freeing all from the burden of bottlenecked announcements. All the while, we knew that these shifts in chapel service stemmed from our new president's interest in "integrating faith and learning" and would undoubtedly serve to foster our spiritual maturity. In efforts to reach this end, some things were trimmed from the chapel itinerary yet, we never lost the fellowship, the opportunity to commune each morning with friends. Neither did we lose the other motivator - ten-absence limit. - Bill Everett 0 0 0 0 0 Compute me. The new graphics lab gave students the chance to create graphics on the computer. Lab operators, like Keith Brown, a junior from Gilbreth, AZ, supervised the lab during its Monday-Friday operation. - photo by Bill Tripp. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
