'Tape 'Designing Women' ...1'11 watch it after night class' H ere it is! Time for that class that you were so sure that you would forget. That's right, so long to club meetings, games, student center follies and the "Cosby's." This semester you have a night class. Not all Harding students were fortunate enough to have an 8:00 to 10:35 class schedule every semester. Some students had no choice but to take night classes. Night classes were hailed and hated in the same breath by many students. "I enjoyed having a shorter class schedule during the day but sometimes it became hectic because there are so many things planned at night, " said Shawn Morgan. Graduate student, David Dearin, said, "I realize that night classes are scheduled so that they won't conflict with other course offerings , but I hate them. It's difficult to go to class after dinner when all of my friends are at club meetings or other campus activities." In addition to eliminating scheduling conflicts with other classes, the registrar had to work around the availability of the instructor. Classes that were taught by professionals who are currently working in their field had to meet when the instructor was on their own time. Kay Gowen, who worked full time in the Public Relations office and taught a Public Relations Principals class, said, "Teaching is my first love, but I also enjoy my job at the PR office. It is hectic to have a full time job and teach a class. I love working with college students; it is extra motivation for me to put in the extra hours." Night classes were "out of the ordinary" for most students. Randy Williams said, "Because my night class meets only once a week , I usually forget that I am taking it. This makes for interesting study habits. " Night classes were not all bad, they did have their good points. Longer class periods gave students and instructors the opportunity to cover more information in each setting. Mona Williams said, "Although I always dreaded g0ing to my night classes, I found that, because of the more relaxed atmosphere and longer class period, they interest me more than most of my classes and t he material usually stays with me longer." Good, bad, or indifferent, night classes were a part of campus life. While some students were in dorm lobbies watching "Moonlighting", others were experiencing it for themselves. -Jennifer Terry NIGHTTIME.
