New chapel for freshmen affects upperclassmen One major aspect o f Harding life that sets it apa rt from life at other universities across the nation is chapel. In the past, all the students attended chapel together. Instead o f heading over to the Benson AuditoriluTI every n10rning, the freshmen journeyed to the Administration AuditoriulTI for their time to worship God. This change was necessary simply because Harding's stude nt body had outgrown Benson Auditorium. "I don 't like be ing separated from the upperclassmen because we don't get as many chances to meet them, " freshman Kristi Means said. "But I unde rsta nd why they had to separate us." On September 10, the real differe nce between freshman and upperclassman chapel becalne evident. Weekly breakout sess ions, begun as Pam Walker -LcxinglOn.K}'. Wend}' \X'alker -Memphis. Tenn.
