247 Here’s my thesis: Harding should not require students to purchase a meal plan when Aramark misrepresents the food they serve. Aramark and Bison Hospitality have crossed a line in the advertisements and branding they use for the food they serve on campus. For proof, I ask you to consider whether Bison Hospitality’s advertisements match the food you eat. Shiny wrappings and cardboard look amazing and taste terrible. When students join the Harding body, they agree to purchase, among other items, a meal plan, hide themselves away in dorms during curfew, avoid using Chat-GPT on assignments and attend their classes. I have not read the student handbook, but not a single line says the student agreed to be deceived by Aramark’s advertising; I’d bet my Keurig on it. This is a problem for two reasons. The first is Aramark’s advertising policies go against Harding’s core values. Harding advertises itself as following the character, example and concerns of Jesus Christ. How does hiring a company who misrepresents their food match this description? The second is that the manner in which Aramark advertises their food is unfair to students. Why should students be expected to purchase an exaggerated product? So what are we to do? Does your singular voice matter? Aramark says it does. They plastered QR codes across the cafeteria; now is the time to use them. If you think Aramark’s advertisements matched the food you ate, let them know; if you disagree, tell them. By giving us a medium for communication, they admit our voice matters. Whether or not that is another form of advertising will be proven by their actions. Aramark should truthfully represent the food they bring; and if they do, students should be gracious about their shortcomings. Aramark has not been up to nothing -– the new coffee station in the cafeteria and yogurt parfaits alone have brought me more joy than anything in my professors’ syllabi. In the end, not all the food Aramark makes is awful, and, similarly, not every student complaint is accurate to reality. Of course it’s not your mother’s food — your mom isn’t a food distribution company. Bursting Bubbles Friday, September 27, 2024 4A OPINIONS Narrative Columnist Michael Claxton “The hope that kills you” Illustration by KIT MOORE Editor-in-chief Nic Fraraccio It is well This summer I did something I had not done in 20 years. I dusted off my old magic act and put on a show. Granted, it was for an audience of nine people, and all of them are related to me. But still, when we hosted a birthday party for my 3-year-old greatnephew at my mother’s house in July, I surprised little Maverick by appearing from behind a curtain wearing a vest and bow tie and doing 10 minutes’worth of magic tricks For those who may not know, I once wanted to be a professional magician, like my idol, David Copperfield. As I watched him work his wonders on television, I could picture myself onstage, with jumbo fans blowing my hair back, turning assistants into tigers and whatnot. Then came the talent competition in the fifth grade. Since tigers were not allowed at J.H. House Elementary, I had to trim my act. Here’s what I did: I put three separate silk handkerchiefs in a clear tube, and when I blew them out, they were tied together. Get out. Then I changed three black ’78 records into red, blue, and yellow records. No way. And for the grand finale, I pulled ten yards of paper ribbons from an apparently empty box. Boom. I lost to a baton twirler. After a few more public performances—at the rotary club, at the library, and at Vacation Bible School—I realized that being a magician wasn’t for me. My retirement was probably the best thing I could have done for the art form. Oh, I’ve done a trick here or there for visitors to my house, and I’ve emceed a couple of shows for our local magic club, but there has been no public groundswell of support for me to pick up the wand again. I am most definitely NOT available now for birthday parties. book suddenly filled up with pictures. A lit candle turned into a bouquet of flowers. Spots kept multiplying on a card. My great-nephew loved the show, and so did his mother and her siblings, who remembered me performing magic for them when they were young. While my act had not changed much in three decades, I did have one new thing up my sleeve. I brought out a bottle of bubble liquid, dipped the small stick with the ring at the end into the bottle, and blew bubbles all over the living room. I told Maverick to catch one, and that’s all the encouragement he needed to start running after bubbles and grabbing at them. But bubbles being what they are, they kept popping between his fingers. “Watch, Maverick,” I said. “This is how you do it.” That’s when I reached out and seized a bubble, which turned into a clear glass ball in my hand. Whoa. But it’s a good thing I was in Georgia and not California. I could have gotten a ticket. Did you hear about this? A few weeks ago, a bubble entertainer in San Diego was given a citation for “fluid littering” when a park ranger caught his outdoor act. Sandy Snakenburg is a showman who has entertained crowds for years with his giant bubbles. Videos on Instagram show him mixing liquid with large sticks and then releasing enormous, snake-like globs into the air. One of them he calls “the dragon.” a van that doubles as his home.“Everyone is a 6-year-old kid again,” he says of spectators to his show. “It’s creating magic.” But not, apparently, in San Diego, where Snakenburg was slapped with a citation and summoned to appear in court in October. He was accused of “littering prohibited fluid.” When asked what kind of Scrooge would object to an outdoor bubble show, a city representative pointed out that the Bubble Pirate uses up to six gallons of fluid mix per day and that the residue could potentially damage the grass. Snakenburg is vowing to fight city hall, and he tells Fox 28 News that he has no plans to retire his act. I understand the environmental concerns, but somehow, charging the 63-year-old homeless vet with eco-terrorism seems like overkill. Especially when the evidence has evaporated. I just hope these heavy-handed regulations don’t head east. If the police question Maverick, he already knows to say that he didn’t see a thing. Plus, I’d hate to see the law come after the Harding Bubble. ANDREW RENEAU is an asst. copy editor for The Bison. He may be contacted at areneau@harding.edu. This summer, I watched “Ted Lasso”, a comedy-drama television show focusing on an inexperienced American football coach taking over AFC Richmond, a soccer team in England. My mom wanted me to watch the show with her — she is basically a super fan. Considering I love watching the Premier League, I enjoyed the show and its humor. In today’s column, I want to discuss the final episode of season one: “The Hope That Kills You.”Lasso and his team face relegation before their last match against Manchester City, one of the best teams in the league. As the game approaches, the team comes together through themes of hope and resilience. Despite the challenges, the mindset within the locker room was at an all-time high for AFC Richmond. The hope continued to build during the competitive match. In the second half, Lasso and his coaching staff realized they needed a tie to secure safety. At the end of the game, City scored a late winner to officially relegate AFC Richmond. It was the hope that killed them, or at least you might think. I believe it is the hope that proved their worth for seasons to follow. Here is a question for you: Does hope really kill us? If you give up a late hail mary to choke the lead away, you might say yes. (Sorry Baylor fans). If you study for an exam and end up with a bad grade, you might say yes. If your favorite baseball team pulls your star pitcher for no reason, you might say yes. (I suffered through this moment in 2020). What about those of you who say no? Why? What does hope do for us in our daily lives? I remember my sophomore year of high school baseball at Foundation Christian Academy in Brandon, Florida. Our team was decent for a newly established program, and we achieved a winning record for the first time in school history. Besides playing catcher, I enjoyed every second of the games, practices and trips. However, our season ended in the first round of the district tournament. All of the work, sweat and tears put into a season felt like it was wasted. Did the hope kill us? I will be honest with you — absolutely not. The early exit motivated us to strive for more in the following season. A year later, our squad was firing on all cylinders. Our pitching was lights out, the lineup was deadly, and our confidence was through the roof. Unfortunately, after a 7-0 start to the season, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 season. Was it upsetting? Of course — but our team knew that we did everything we could to become better players and men. Hope is what motivates us to do better in life. It is our decision whether to put in the work or not. Hope does not do the work for you — but it helps to have some when you think all is lost. Do not worry, God has a goal for all of us to fulfill. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us of this concept: For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. As you go on with your day,my encouragement for you is to put your faith in God. It is not always easy to do, but it will all be worth it in the end. You might think hope kills us every once and awhile. But sometimes, hope is the little boost we need to get over the hump. Be blessed, and it is well. Asst. Copy Editor Andrew Reneau Authenticity and Aramark Graphic by MAKAYLA MCDONALD Graphic by ANNA CLAIRE CURTIS CFIT program prepares students A tribute to Louise Ganus and her 22 years as first lady The life and legacy of former first lady Leah Burks Harding began the Cardiac Function and Interventional Technology (CFIT) graduate program fall of 2022. It is the only program of its kind in the United States. The CFIT program is a 10-month, twosemester program. It requires 36 credit hours, and its prerequisites are a bachelor’s degree and anatomy and physiology I and II. Tristan Pendergrass, assistant professor in the College of Allied Health, teaches multiple courses for the CFIT program. The program requires classes such as cardiac function, cardiac rhythm management, and electrophysiology, as well as labs. Other CFIT classes are business leadershiporiented. Pendergrass said they also have “cardiac device career concepts in the fall and cardiac device career leadership in the spring, and those classes are more oriented on leadership, management, organizational behavior… and teamwork.” Many of these classes build on one another. “We tell a lot of our students, ‘Your knowledge is going to get your foot in the door,’”Pendergrass said.“How well you work with people and how well you communicate is going to keep you there.” The CFIT program is structured into cohorts of students.Timothy Jayne, a current student in the program, said of the cohorts, “We’re all working together to help encourage and uplift one another.” CFIT professors are involved with students. “The teachers have been fantastic,”Jayne said. “They really care about us, … and I know that even after we graduate, they’re going to be there for us.” May 2024 CFIT graduate Trey Goudeau said the program’s professors “work very diligently to help you land a great job in the field of your choice.” “My experience in CFIT was fantastic,” Goudeau said.“Everything about the program is highly focused on helping the students to succeed not only in cardiovascular studies, but professionally as well.” Many CFIT graduates pursue careers in Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM) and electrophysiology. CRM focuses on devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators, while electrophysiology is a more lab-oriented career. “CFIT absolutely helped guide my career,” Goudeau said. “CFIT is a unique program because it’s an industry based program, providing strong interview prep and many networking opportunities with industry professionals and managers.” Pendergrass said alumni of the program and the companies they work for have called CFIT graduates “well prepared” and “very successful.” Multiple graduates have had the opportunity to work with accomplished doctors. “God has been writing this story for decades,” Pendergrass said. The CFIT program has successfully prepared many graduates entering the field of healthcare. “If you’re someone who knows the medical field is where you want to go, but you’re unsure of what area within the field you want to work, then CFIT is a perfect program for you,” Goudeau said. “The field [of] electrophysiology and cardiac devices is a very challenging, but incredibly rewarding field to build your career.” Former Harding University First Lady Louise Ganus died Sept. 6, 2024. She was 102. Ganus was born Dora Louise Nicholas on Feb. 10, 1922, in the small town of Strawberry, Arkansas. She began studying at Harding in 1938 at the age of 16, and she graduated with degrees in English and French. During her time at Harding, Ganus worked as the Social News Editor for The Bison. She was active on campus as a member and president of social club W.H.C. She won a free-throw competition in 1942. She was crowned queen of the L.C. Carnival in 1941. She married Clifton Ganus Jr. in 1943. Louise Ganus served as the third first lady of Harding while Clifton Ganus Jr. served as the president of Harding from 1965-1987. They were married 76 years before his death in 2019. Ganus’ daughter, Debbie Duke, spoke of Ganus’ dedication to Harding. “From the time she was 16 on, Harding was her life,” Duke said. After being inspired by an organization at Columbia where her husband pursued a degree, Ganus helped found Associated Women for Harding. She was awarded their Lifetime Achievement award in 2007. Ganus was a sponsor for the women’s social club Tri Kappa. She also participated in Harding’s Master Gardeners Club. Duke said Ganus was supportive of her husband during his time as Harding’s president. “She worked really hard,” Duke said. “I remember her going to bed at midnight and getting up at six. She was an early morning person, but the family stayed up late, so she stayed up late.” Lisa Williams, current first lady of Harding, spoke of Ganus’ character. “She has always been known to have a gentle, kind, loving spirit,” Williams said. Ganus traveled often with her husband, and Duke said Ganus visited 75 countries in her lifetime including Ukraine and Germany. The Ganuses were also faculty for a semester at Harding University in Greece. In regard to her willingness to travel, Duke said “she was very brave.” Mona Lee Garner, a longtime friend of the Ganus family, said Louise Ganus was “a very gracious, lovely person.” Duke said of Ganus,“I remember as a child going to deliver food to people because she was always caring about people and trying to help people.” She and her husband were known for their hospitality. “I would say our house was like a revolving door of people in and out all of the time,” Duke said. Garner also said Louise Ganus was “very, very supportive” of her husband through his various careers.“I think she loved what she did. She loved Harding. She loved him,” Garner said. She described the Ganus’ relationship as one of “mutual respect.” Duke said Ganus “deeply cared about people.”Duke added that Ganus was a “great mother”and “wonderful grandmother.”She is survived by three children, 10 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. Leah Burks died July 10, 2024. She was 81. Burks was the first lady of Harding from 1987-2013 while her husband, David Burks, served as Harding’s president. Leah Burks’ son Stephen Burks spoke of her life. “She grew up as a farm girl in She often hosted events at her Harding Park home during her time as first lady.They became well-known around Harding. Liz Howell was a friend of Leah Burks. “Leah was [a] humble and immensely talented individual,” Howell said. “She and Dr. Burks hosted numerous events in their home, always adding thoughtful touches to make everyone feel welcomed. Despite her first lady of Harding. In serving her with health care, I never heard her complain.” Cindy Hunter, executive assistant to Harding’s President Mike Williams, met Leah Burks in 1989 when Hunter began working at Harding. “Leah was very kind and gracious,”Hunter said. “She had great taste and decorated beautifully.

She began cooking in her kitchen in 2017 and quickly progressed to selling cupcakes and her take on an oatmeal cream pie at a farmer’s market. Johnson recalled setting up her tent with tables, chairs and displays she moved using her minivan. She had six cupcake flavors and sold them in hundred-degree weather.

Searcy First Methodist Church houses people on nights below 26 degrees Fahrenheit. The Warming Center opened in 2010. Those without a home often receive aid from Mission Machine, a local nonprofit. Through Mission Machine, those in need of housing are provided with a place to sleep and basic amenities. Mission Machine director Michael Phifer expressed his appreciation for the Warming Center and its contributions to the Mission Machine. “I like that they meet the people they meet at [Searcy First Methodist Church] and get connections,” Phifer said. “It really lets them know that, ‘I’m maybe going through a rough time in my life right now, but I’m still a part of this community.’” Those who spend the night at the Warming Center often arrive around 6 p.m. They are served dinner and are provided entertainment such as a movie or a game night.They are served breakfast around 7 a.m. the following morning. Volunteers from the church serve the food and spend the night with attendees. Warming Center volunteer Sylvia Cummings spoke of the collaboration by church members who help keep the Warming Center successful. “We have people who cook meals,” Cummings said.“...We have people who set up and pick up. So it’s more than just ‘walk in and everybody goes to sleep.’” Searcy First Methodist Church is also responsible for the Warming Fence, a fence on Main Street used to store donated winter clothing.Those in need of warm clothing during cold temperatures may take clothing from the Warming Fence at no cost. The Warming Fence is successful; approximately 500 coats have been given away this year. Searcy First Methodist Church member Patty Williams got the idea for the Warming Fence from a friend in Rogers, Arkansas, and opened its doors in 2021. The Warming Fence consists of a fence with winter coats hanging on it and tubs of other winter clothes. Williams spoke of her inspiration to begin the Warming Fence in Searcy. “I just feel led to do this,”Williams said. Senior Pastor of Searcy First Methodist Church Jeff Jackson spoke of Searcy residents’ participation in the program. “We’ve actually had people from all over the community come and participate,” Jackson said.“...We’ve had an overwhelming response of people giving and receiving what we have out on the fence.” Searcy First Methodist Church is accepting donations of winter clothing for the Warming Fence.
