The Road Less naveled ~this environment, nothing could be more important than how a student reacts to his or her surroundings. Harding's goal is to help direct students as they, through their God-given free will, answer questions which ultimately determine the paths that their lives will follow. Unfortunately, many do not realize that their answers to the "little" questions create a persona and a pattern by which they live. Throughout the 1995-1996 academic year, Harding challenged students with many unique questions. Will you help a family whose house burned down? Will you spare a few dollars to help heat someone's home? Will you buy an extra Christmas gift for the child of a prisoner? These questions, in their own way, confronted students with the only really important question of life: what will you do with Jesus? Will you walk the path that He walked, or will you stay on the wider road, ambling aimlessly toward ultimate destruction? For those who did not choose to open their hearts to the prodding Harding offered, this year was only a stepping stone into the American ideals of materialism and self-fulfillment. But for those who chose to give of their resources, to minister to a righteous soul in need, and to step in the footprints of their Creator, this year focused them on the purpose for life and carried them a few more steps down The Road Less Traveled. -Jimmy Brooks AmyBurns andJon Montague use the student center as a place for mid-afternoon studying.
