ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTORS Harding Press w'orks for all University's printing needs For half a century, Harding Press has been helping to ensure the "Harding experience" remains affordable for students across the nation. Now operating out of a brand new facility, Harding Press is an auxiliary enterprise of the University. Aside from meeting all of Harding's printing needs, the press also operates as a local business. The profits generated by the outside printing jobs are put back into the University, which in turn help keep tuition low. Lavern Richey, now in his 39th-year as manager of Harding Press, said about 52 percent of the printing they do is for businesses and organizations outside of Harding. The other 48 percent meets Harding's printing needs including letterhead, envelopes, business cards, handbooks, schedules and brochures. Harding Press also prints The Bison, the University's student newspaper. Before moving into its new facility on Remington Street, Harding Press was located on the site of newly-built Shores Hall. The old structure was torn down to make room for the new women's dormitory. Harding Press moved into its new facility last May. "We're really enjoying our new Did You Know...

"We're in a better location to serve the community." Harding Press has 10 employees, and provides work for a few Harding students every year. The press also offers an internship in graphiCdesign every semester. Richey says a lot has changed since he became manager of the press in 1962. "The biggest changes came with computers," he said. "We can take jobs straight from CD or zip discs and put them on film. We used to have to shoot everything." Harding Press now has four-color printing and does its own color separations. "Four-color printing has increased the most," Richey said. - Hannah Rhodes Dr. Jerome Barnes, director of special projects and sponsor of the Student Association, talks with senior Jonathan Dismang during an SA meeting.
