always worked tOgether. During the fall
semester, the officers worked along with
the Student Association (S.A.) and the
Office of Alumni Relations to organize a
successful and m emorable Homecoming.
The appearance of a live bison was something that the S. A. had really wanted to do
for the student body, according to Moore.
The mascot performed at the game and at
{he pep rally the night before - which
turned ou{ (0 be the largest pep rally
Harding has ever had . In addition to the
Homecoming fest ivities, the class officers
also helped decorate the campus with
Christmas lights during the holiday season. "We really want (0 get everyo ne involved in our fun activities, bu t at the same
time keep our events spirimally focused,»
Moore said. "Whether it is a fund-raiser or

fJauJtDli,n prooides 8.·30 p.m ClJIY'JIYtiniDf) service
An overhead projector provides light for Michael Cooper,
senior, as he leads a song at the Downtown Church of Christ's
8:30 p.m. communion service. More than 800 students attended the weekly service which focused on {he Lord 's Supper.

JuSt after 8:00 on Sunday night,
people begin trickling into the silent
gymnasium. The lights are dimmed;
the only illumination comes from an
overhead of a painting of Jesus Christ
being projected on the front wall. A sea
of fo ldi ng chairs has been arranged in a
semicircle to face the tables at the front.
By 8:30, all the chairs have been
occupied and crowds oflatecomers begin to gather on the outside edges of the
room.
The Sunday night service at Downtown Church of C h rist differs dramatically fro m the traditional evening services to wh ich many students are accustomed.
Unlike many evening services, which
use a series of songs to lead up to a
different lesson each week, the Downtown service focused exclusively on the
Lord's Supper.
"The purpose of the service is to have
a time that is strictly dedicated to communion," said Dr. Pat Garner, the worship leader for the service. "That's what
it original ly started as, and thar's what
we intend to continue to do."
"It's more cemered on your personal
relationship with God," Katie Tool,
junior, said.
After the period of singing, worshiperswere invited to panake of the Lord 's
Supper. InStead of being passed down
the rows on trays, the bread and fruit of
the vine sat on tables at the front of the
room, allowing those who wished to
participate to do so at their own pace.
Because of these unique elements,
the service grew considerably after its
inception several years ago and became
especially popu lar among Harding students.
"We Started out with 50 or 60 people
and now we're getting near 1000," Garner said. "That number is probably 95
percent students."
"It's such an uplifting service," Hill
said. "Everyone there seems to truly
love God, and that really shows to their
friends and the people around them. "

On several occasions here at Harding,
students have been asked to give
donations in order to suppon a certain
cause. The sruaencs at Harding are
known to be generous, and the goals are
usually met.
This fall, a sicuarion arose in Sears
dorm that had students once again
helping those in need.
Becky Sharp, a freshman from
Jonesboro, Ark. who has cerebral palsy,
always rode her bike around campus until it was stolen.
"1 woke up on a Saturday morning at
8:30 a.m. I weO[ oucsicie where I usually
keep my bike and it was gone," Sharp
said. "1 called security, and they said
they would keep an eye out for it. I also
asked my friends co look Out for ic."
Three to four days passed and Becky
did not hear anything about her bike.
What Becky did not know was that the
girls from her hall were collecting
donations so they could buy her another
bike.
Linda Cox, Sears dorm mother, put
up signs asking girls to give money for
the bike. "At curfew one evening, all the
girls from the dorm donated money to
help out," Je nnife r Kendall-Ball,
freshman, said.
Several of Becky' s friends took her to
Wal-Mart the next day and let her pick
out a new bike.
"The girls raised $218.13 overall.
Not only was I able to pick OUt a new
bike, but there was enough money for
m e to get some accessories for it also,"
SParp said. "I was really surprised and
exc ited. My bike is the only
transportation that I have. I didn't know
how I was going to get around without
one."
Because Sharp has cerebral palsy,
havinga bike helps make the trek around
campus easier. The girls on Sharp's hall
realized how important itwas for her to
have a bicycle. They knew that with the
help of the other girls in the dorm, they
could make adifference in Becky Sharp's
life.

Twin brothers David and Andrew Scharff,
sop homores, sit in an Allen dorm room
and play N intendo, a favorite pastime for
many students at Harding. While the
brothers from South Carolina have much
in commo n, they do not room cogether
because they understand that it is much
easier to get along without living rogether.
Still, the Scharff's are both active mem~
bers of T NT social club and find them~
selves hanging out with the same group of
people which causes them to also be great
friends. In add ition, they are teammates
on the cross-country and track teams along
with their older sister, Cheri, senior. Many
students agree that when you are away
from home it is easier (0 adapt ro change
when someo ne close to you is with you.
Having a brother o r sister at the same
school is, at times, straining. Howeve r,
for the mOSt part it is a taste of home away
from home, according to Crystal Brazle,
freshman. Brazle's older brother, Andy,
also "attends Harding. "It is always great to
see him [Andy] during the day. Because
we go co the same schoo l, I get co spend a
lot of time with him," Brazle said. "The
fac t that he has had such good experiences
here really influenced my decision cocome
to Harding. I did think about not coming
(0 Harding so I could get away from my
family fo r a while, bur the fact that he was
here was more of an encouragement. "

Spelunkers find excitement below the earth
A group of Harding srudems prepare for an advemure of
exploring a nearby cave. While many studems enjoyed mo re
traditional hobbies such as collecting or crafts, others enjoyed
outdoor activities including spelunking and rock climbing.
144
People
There is an underground movement
th at is swee pin g across Harding
Un iversity. The reason that nobody is
aware of it is because it's stric tl y
underground - it's called spelunking.
Spelu n king, or cav ing. is done
beneath the earth in crevices and caves
throughout Ark. and the rest of the
world.
Caves which can be explored are as
close as 45 min utes in Batesville, Ark.
T hat's a little under an hour's drive to
discover a "hole" new worl d. according
to Jeremy Sciba, junior.
"It's a di ffere nt world down there,"
he said. "Time seems to move so slow in
the caves and yo u never know what's
going to happen next."
Sciba said very little equipment is
required to begin th e spelunk ing
endeavor - just a little bravado and a lot
o f crawling. Head-lamps, markers,
repell ing gear and old clo thes are the
basic essentials that an experienced
spelunker will never be caught without.
Getting lost is one of a spelunker's most
prevalent concerns. Visual markers that
reflect light are placed at random points
throughout each campaign.
The most common ofthe fo rmations
found within these caves are commonly
referred to as stalactites and stalagmites.
These formatio ns ca n reach lengths of
enormo us magnitude an d come in
coumless shapes and sizes, according to
Rich O'Connel, senior.
They are formed when residue is
excreted from soft rock and limestone
which later dries, formin g these rare
spectacles.
"You see things down there that you
never imagined even existed," he said.
Also found within the caves are
streams and poo ls of freezing water.
T he pools are often accompanied by
mud and sl ipp ery ro ck. Jonathon
W heeler, senior, said that because of
these conditions, old clo thes are essential
to your underground repertoire.
"We're always overly cautious," he
said. "Safety is the most important issue."

were provided for (he entire student body
as chapel let our early. The special "muffin
days," which rook place once a semester,
were usually held in front of the Benson
Auditorium by the fo untain. However, on
[his particular day, d ark clouds and the
threat of rain forced everyone to squeeze
inro the H ammon Studenr Center to enjoy the breakfast and fellows h ip. "Muffin
Day" was always a favo rite chapel among
Harding students because it was a break
from the busyness of cl asses. Because
muffins were usually only provided after
chapel twice a year. students always looked
fOlWard to it. "It is something different
and it gives me a chance to relax and have
a little fun before classes start." Stacey
Portell. junior, said. Other favo rite chapels included performances by entertainers
such as the "G rumpy O ld Men," Good
News Si ngers. Belles and Beaux and the
presentation of the Residen t of the Man th
award. Many students said they si mply
appreciated the time thac was set aside
each morn ing fo r the entire student body,
faculty and staff to worship God togeth er.
"It [chapel] is an abso lutely unique experi ence and one that we will always remember after we leave Harding," Portell said.

At 4 a.m. the screaming alarm signals the early scare of another day.
While most students on campus are
rolling over ' for the remaining few
hours of much needed slumber, che
nursing students head our (Q a class
somewhat our of the ordinary.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, the
seniors pareicipared in clinicals arvarious hospitals in Little Rock. In the
clinicals che studems received supervised hands-on experiences in real life
settings; chus providing a platform so
the students could apply what they
learned in the classroom.
"For the mOSt pare, we do everything a nurse does," Ryan Parsons,
senior, said. "Practical application is
what chis class is all about. "
M ichael Scifres, senior nursing major, said he appreciated the experience
the clinicals gave che studems.
"You 're nor really sure of what you
know until you have (Q apply it in a
real life situation," he said.
From chesimpleandcommon tasks
to the sight of a life hanging in the
balance, the students got an in- depth
look imo what it means (Q be a servam
in the world of medicine.
"We give shots and general care
every day (Q patients." Parsons said,
"bur it's watching a man 's life end in
front of your eyes chat really puts
things into perspective."
The students assisted and witnessed
several unforgettable evems while at
the hospitals, according (Q Scifres.
.' "We've witnessed the miracle of
childbirth," he said. "It's experiences
like these that make me appreciate che
nursing profession. "
The students agreed that the experiences were beneficial and allowed
chern to apply what they learned in the
traditional classroom .
"I think this gives us a good step in
the right direction ," Scifres said. "This
prepares us for jobs after graduation
by providing us with confidence to do
the job and do it right. "

Rachel Myhan, senior, places a ball in
the hand of bl indfolded Laura Falgiani,
senior. The two Elementary Education
majors were play ing a game on the front
lawn during their Science in the Elementaryclass, under the instruct ion ofO e. Jim
Johnston, professor of education. The object of the activity was to allow future
teachers to see and experience first hand
the barriers and obstacles that arise in a
classroom where handicap students are
involved. Many academ ic departments,
including the School of Science and the
School of Educatio n, used hands on learning activities to help students learn faster
and grab hold of concepts more firmly.
"Doing activities like these help us to put
ou rselves in the shoes of the students we
will be working with," Myhan said. "The
game we played was really challenging
because you never think about the struggles
others have until you experience them fo r
you rself. This really opened my eyes to the
specia l needs some students in my classroom will have."

Most coll ege students have, at one
time or another, used the all to fami liar
ph rase, "Mom, D ad, I need money."
W ith this in .mind, perhaps we can
learn a lesso n from Mike Lewis, senior,
and M icah Walker, sophomore. Both
Lewis and Walker have seized the reigns
of respo nsibility and leaped head fi rst
into the world of entrepreneurship.
Lewis began his "odd" college job by
des igning T-shi rts for his friends and
social clubs o n campus. W hat began as
a ho bby tu rned into a lucrative endeavor. Thus, the business which Lewis
calls Function Junction was for med.
Walker said he sat in a busi ness
classes one day po ndering ideas in his
head.
As a res ul t, W al ker fou nded
Malibu Mikes Shaved Ice, wh ich offe rs a variety of over 30 delicious
flavors.
"1 wam ed to give the students a
place to hang out," Walker said.
W hen asked what he would advise so meone who is co nsidering
starring a similar endeavo r W alker
repl ied, "I wo uld encourage them to......
do it, but be prepared to make a
serio us time commitment. "
Before calling Mom and Dad fo r
e~[ra mon ey, give them a break.
Take a loo k at the accomplishments
of Lewis and W al ker - real student

With a full food court, including Chickfil-A, Burger King, TCBY, Starbuckscoffee, a United States POStal Service and the
Harding University Bookstore in operation daily, it was often the busiest building on campus. Many students also spent
time in the University's bowling al ley, the

As we go about our busy day, we
sometimes forget to take time out and
appreciate all that we have. Howwould
we get to our classes if we were blind?
Chris Edmerson, senior, deals with this
problem every day of his life.
Edmerson , who transferred from
Southwestern C h ristian College this
year, said the only thing that makes him
different from other students is that he
has been blind for eight years.
Co ll ege alo ne can be a struggle.
Meeting new people. finding all of yo ur
classes and homework can make college
a frightening experience altoghether.
Imagine not being able to see the college
you attend and the people surro unding
you on a daily basis.
"H arding has been a big help. The
students and the teachers have been
wonderful , [QO. They have been receptiveand helpful to my needs," Edmerson
said. "I don't have one specific person
who walks me around campus. 1 rely on
the help of passing students who are
going my way."
One of Ed m erson's hobbies is singing. H e and several other students decided to participate in the student talent
show on camp us, Sept. 17. After the
show, the group decided to continue
singing together and called themselves
Th ird H eaven. The group performed
several times througho ut the year.
"It is a definite challenge to attend
college and be blind. But I'm proof that
it can be done," said Edmerson.

Picture the spread. An entire roasted
chicken. A rack of ribs. A turkey leg.
Beef tenderloin. Pork chops. Smoked
sausage. A "hubcap-s ized" barbecue
sandwich. PotatO salad. Coleslaw. PotatO chips. To tOp it off, a giant candy
cane.
It may so und like enough food to
feed a small tOwn for a week, but it was
all crammed on a si ngle tray at the
tailgate party hosted by the Osborne
family, Sept. II.
Litcle Rock philanthropist Jennings
Osborne, along with his wife, Mitzi
and daughter, Breezy, hosted the event
on the lawn in front of the Ganus
Athletic Center as a precursor to that
night's home football game,
Though the event was scheduled to
begin at 3:30 p.m., people began gathering early to secure a good position in
line.
"My roommate and I shared a tray,"
Liz Nul l, sophomore, said. "We ended
up with twO huge foam containers
stuffed completely full. It took us a
week to fin ish it all."
Though the meal had been massprepared to feed over 3,000 people,
the high quality of the feast impressed
ma,IlY students.
Along with satisfying their appetites, the barbecue fostered a greater
sense of camaraderie and school spirit
among those who attended.

Extra-students squeezedintD neM apartments
Dealingwith parking hassles on campus might not be a bad trade for living
in the Taj Mahal of dormicory settings.
As thesrudent body increases in number each year, fin<iing adequate campus
housing has become a pressing issue.
This year, 54 women students were
assigned to live in Harding Place, the
University's retirement village, because
the dorms were filled to capacity.
However, [he limited parking space
on campus sometimes caused difficulty,
especially for students who did not come
campus before chapel.
All of the residents agreed, however,
that getting to live in H arding Place is
worth the small parking inconveni ence.
Women were not the only students
[Q
Relaxing after classes, Jeremy Scib.a, JyusefLarry, juniors, and
Eric Barnes, senior, enjoy the comfortS of the fully furnished
V illage apartments. A washer and dryer were JUSt twO of the
luxuries enjoyed by the men approved to live in me apartments.
assigned to unexpected living quarters
this year.
Quite a few men were placed in the
Harding Vil lage Apartments, which was
originally intended for married students.
"Because the apartments are located
away from campus it feels like you have
your own place," Brian Bush, senior,
said. "I try to eat dinner each night with
the guys in my apartmem. Sometimes it
doesn't work out, but we try."
Patrick J eter, junior, said he enjoyed
having a kitchen because he and his
fri91ds could do their own cooking.
"O n Sundays, we tried to have cookoutS and watch footbal l together," he
said.

The gende glow of candlelight. The
spatkle of a d iamo nd. The hushed singing of social club sisters. The nagging
question - Who is it this time?
Ring ceremonies have long been a
tradition at H arding University, and
like all traditions. the sigh t of a ring
ceremony on campus became an almost
everyday event this year.
Kerri Kaegi, junior, said her ring
ceremony was anything but typicaL
Rather than keeping her engagement
a secret from everyone else. the surp rise
actually turned our to be for Kaegi. H er
boyfriend, Alex Behel, junior, proposed
las t September at a Zeta Rho ring ceremony that had secretly been planned
for her.
"Everyone who came out knew that
the ring ceremony was for me," Kaegi
said. "I had no idea. It was a huge
surprise. A ring ceremony is a special
event that every gi rl looks forward to."
"It is a really unique way to share
your engagement experience,"Aurumn
Spell, se niot, said. "That kind of OppOttunity JUSt doesn ' t exist after college."
W hile ring ceremon ies usually invo lve only women 's clubs, Zach Neal,
junior, had the opportun ity to be involved in the ceremony of fiancee Sara
Jo Edens, junior.
Because he was a beau for Edens'
club, Ju Go Ju , Neal was invited.
It is cool to help tell the Story," Neal
said. "After all, getting engaged is one of
the biggest events in a person 's li fe."

Jason Grace, sophomore, receives medical help from Marcy Cox, school nu rse.
H arding's nurses gave temporary health
care to students du ring the year. From a
mild cold to the fiu, the nurses provided
medical treatment to students no matter
the illness. The only disadvantage was
that the nurse's station was nOt open
during nights and on weekends so many
students had to go to one of the local
hospitals, White County Medical Center
or Central Hospital, to be treated for
illnesses when the nurses were nOt in.
Along with treating the sick, Pat Rice,
director of student health services, organ ized a support group for students, faculty and staff with diabetes. Rice said she
wanted those who are diabetic to know
there are others on campus who can answer any questions one might have about
the illness. The nurse's offi ce was not the
only group concerned with health issue·s.
The School of N ursing held a wellness
screening, Sept. 28-29, for faculty and
staff at a reduced price.

How can students continue their
Harding edu cation without paying tuition? Become a graduate assistant and
your questio n wi lt be answered.
There are many students who have
taken advantage of Harding's masters
programs.
These programs are a great way to
stay at H arding wh ile bettering your
education.
The graduate office requires graduate assistants to work o n campus for a
specific department, 20 hours a week.
Last year, a graduate assistant had to
complete only 12 hours each week.
The assistant's duties are up to the
professo rs in charge. D anny H ardman ,
graduate assistant for the communication department, said she is studyi ng for
her masters in Business Admin istration
and plans to stay at Harding longenough
to complete the program.
"Basically, you do whatever they need
yo u to do. One day I' m making copies,
the next I might be monitoring a test,"
Hardman said. "You never can tell."
Tommy Busby is a graduate assistant
for the men 's basketball team.
"I do a lo t of diffetent th ings. 1 help
the coaches with whatever they need
done," Busby said.
"I have monitored practices, set up
videos, kept statistics and helped with
next year's recruits, " he said. "Also,
when the basketball season starts, I will
travel with the team to all the games."
Having the opportuni[J to be a
graduate assistant is a valuable and rewarding expe rience .
~Ot only do you get to stay at
Harding, but you can also further yo ur
education.
It can be a big help to a professo r who
is pressed fo r time to have a graduate
ass istant around to pick up the loose
ends.
A graduate assistant's job is not easy.
It can be difficult to take harder courses,
while also having to juggle homework
around th e 20 hours of work.
For all that extra work and responsibili[J, at least th e pay, free schooling, is
good.

Students who attended Harding in
the spring semester of 2000 were
lucky to witness an extremely rare
sight in Arkansas - the first re·
corded snow in three years. T hese
students rook full advantage of the
January 27 snow StOrm by engagi ng
in one of the many snowball fights
that occurred on camp us. Although
most classes were nOt cancelled,
many studentS on campus used their
extra time throughout the day to create snow sculptures, including a turtle
and a bison. Others ventured the icy
roads to go off campus. "My friends
and I took our trucks out to fields and
pulled people on sleds," Adam Hall,
junior, said.
