Kyle and Leslie Klein work together to prepare dinner. Cooking for two was one of the many responsibilities facedbymarriedstudents. Photo by Aaron Gillihan. Married Life: How many students were on the verge of asking a girl out when a glance at her left hand spared them a great deal of embarrassment? That tell -tale ring was not a rare sight on campus, but few peopl e realized how many students were married. It was common for students to get married during their years at Harding, and this change required a lot of adjusting for many couples. Amy Katon, a senior from Brighton, Colo. , had to get used to cooking all the time after she and her husband, Bobby, were married last August. "It took a lot of extra time finding things to cook that we both like and that are at least somewhat healthy," she said. Another senio r, Kyle Kl ein, was surprised at the amount of time it took to keep things clean. "In the dorm we never vacuumed or cleaned the bathroom," he said. Klein and hiswife, Lesli e, we re high school sweethearts and decided to get married after their second year at Harding in 1994. Leaving the dorm was not easy for Katon either.

" Leslie Klein agreed. "I'm glad I got to live in the dorm before I got married because I made friendships there that I never would have been able to make otherwise. Now I don 't have as many acquaintances , but I have a deeper relationship with one person," she added with a smile. Time management was another issue married students had to deal with more often than most single students. Senior Lois Voyles was not only married, but she had three school-aged children. Both she and her husband, Larry, were taking classes and keeping very busy, but her view of the situation remained positive. "Even while taking a full load of classes, it 's possible to concentrate on family as well as school ," she said. The Kleins also had to cope with the busy schedule of taking a full load of classes and working 15 to 25 hours aweek. "You are very busy," Kyle said about attending school while being married, "but it can be done. " -Diana King Eve lyn Cruz - Guatema la, Guatema la. fnlemational Business. Kappa Gamma Epsil on.
