JENNINGS OSBORNE FAMILY BRINGS nn The Jennings Osborne family from Little Rock volunteered to cook a massive barbecue before the Oct. 6 football game for the entire Harding family. While the team warmed up for their big game against the University of Central Arkansas, the Osborne family was busy cooking a feast for students, faculty and staff. A line of hundreds stood outside the tent in front of the Ganus Athletic Center, waiting for a feast on a tray. Each tray contained one whole roasted chicken, a turkey leg, a sliced barbecue beef sandwich, a couple of barbecued ribs and a buttered roll. Most people only needed one tray to feed many of their friends. Senior cheerleader Candace Colon said her friends split one tray among four girls. "Itissomuchfood....Wecan get three trays and split it among our squad," she said. "We look forward to the football game with the Osbornes and their famous barbecue." This was the third year the Osborne family has put on this feast for Harding free of charge. ast TO HARDING CAMPUS "It is good to see an example of someone who is sharing their wealth with others," sophomore April Goodwin said.

"Walking away with a full stomach and a free shirt is something that puts huge smiles on college students' faces," sophomore Joe Chambers said. "It doesn't take too much to please a hungry college student, but they go above and beyond."

The numbers at that game increased, and the news coverage benefitted the atmosphere. -Heather Gray Daniela Ciliberti-Ferrara, Italy. lnterior Design/ Art. American Society of lnterior Design.
