CAMPFIRE COOKING'. Students brave the fire and wind to roast hot dogs for their dates. Club hayrides were on opportunity for students to take a break from studying. "DEAR G.I." SA members prepare letters for mailing to Saudi Arabia. About 300 students wrote letters of encouragement. SA Office Robbed; Security Befuddled by Caryllee Parker An Oct. 27 burglary resulted in approximately $30 in damage and the theft of $400 to $600 from the Student Association office, according to Harding Security reports. Chief Security Officer Herman Smith said he had no leads at the time, and no report of the incident was filed with the Searcy Police Department. " It would seem likely that it was done by a student, since it would be unusual for anyone out side the university to know that money was being kept there, " said Dr. Jerome Barnes, Vice P resident of Student Affairs. "I hope it was not, but it does seem likely." The money stolen was part of the proceeds from the SA's sale of Homecoming T-shirts last week. The break-in occurred between 3 and 4 p.m. Saturday afternoon during the Homecoming football game. Several sources present on the second floor of the student center were able to help pinpoint the time of the incident, but didn't see anything to help identify a suspect. SA President Susan Vaughn left her office locked at 2:45 p.m. and returned to find security officers on the scene. "The lights were off and glass was everywhere," she said. "The inner office door had also been pried open with a hammer, and the drawers had been ransacked." Study Of I Corinthians Focus Of 67th Annual Lectureship by Allen Busby This past week, Harding hosted its 67th annual Lectureship.

Huffard, who spoke on the theme "We Preach Christ." Jimmy Adcox spoke on the theme "You are the Temple of the Holy Spirit" on Tuesday, and Ken Neller spoke on the theme "Competing in the games." Harding University Kuwait Crisis Hits Home With Students by Leann Morrow The devastation that has hit the Middle East has also hit home, and soldiers in Saudia Arabia have left behind family and friends who are praying, worrying, and hoping they will come home soon. But these families and friends aren't just in far away places and back home. Sometimes they're right here on campus. Beth Wiley, a sophomore from Joplin, Mo., has a brother stationed along the border of Saudia Arabia and Kuwait. J eff Wiley, 32, is in the 82nd airborne and was one of the first to be called. "Even though Jeff has already spent a year in Korea, the news of his going off to Saudia Arabia hit my mom hard," Beth said. "I'm very sad. I think about him every day. It is scary to think that he is over t here and war can take place." Although Beth misses Jeff, she is proud of h is role in the conflict. "I think that it is great that they are over there protecting lives," Beth said. "I admire him because he is putting his life on hold." But as tears began to well up in her eyes, Beth said, "I hope he gets back soon." Tammy Spencer's brother, Devin, volunteered to go to Saudia Arabia. Devin, 23, is t hought to be stationed somewhere in Saudia Arabia. Spencer, a junior from Portland , Ore., has a picture of Saddam Hussein on her dorm room wall. "At first we put up it up on the corkboard and stuck tacks on the picture," Tammy said. "Now we just put gum on his face." "My brother is very special to me. I really admire him," Spencer said. "Everyone likes him. Of course, he is obnoxious, but funny. There is a possibility t hat he could come home within 50 days if t here is not a war, but if a war breaks out it might be a year before he gets to come home." Spencer said Devin's absence has had a positive effect on the family. "It has made us pray at lot more. We are very strong about the whole thing. The day we found out, I was scared and shocked, but my mom spent the time praying fo r courage. My mom is an incredibly strong person when it comes to t hi ngs like this." That strength remains a necessity, not only for the soldiers sent to fight, but also for their loved ones who must battle their fears on the home front. Beth Wiley and Tammy Spencer are just two of the many thousands who have been left behind to listen, watch, and wait. Bison 33 ..
