8-19-2013 First McLarty Chapel

 Dr. McLarty videoing Chancelor Burks spelling camaraderie.

 I love hearing Dr. Ganus' booming bass voice.

You may wonder why this photo made the cut with the other two photos containing former HU presidents.  Dr. McLarty asked for volunteers to tell what exciting things the students did this summer.  This couple had gotten married over the summer and when Dr. McLarty asked their names he said both of their first names and held the microphone over for her to say her new last name.  It was just a sweet moment between newlyweds.

READ Poster

Here is the READ Poster for November. Dr.Burks is featured with his book selection, "The Ultimate Gift." The graphic design work was done by Noah Darnell.

December READ Poster

The final READ poster for the year. Dr. Burks always does the December poster and he graciously posed the other night after Harding's Christmas Open House. As always the only reason it looks awesome is the talented design work done by Anna Cline our PR student graphic designer. Also I have to give thanks to my student Noah for the use of his awesomely fast Sigma 30mm F1.4 lens.

Bisons on National TV

Today the Bisons played the University's first ever Nationally televised game. The game was shown on CSTV. The Bisons beat Henderson State University 72-59. This game was Coach Jeff Morgans 250th career victory. The game was sold out and over 3000 were in attendance.
Dr. Burks was even in the spirit today with the Face Paint and standing and yelling with the Rhodes Rowdies.
During halftime, Harding honored members of the 1957-58 basketball team, the first intercollegiate team Harding fielded after an 18-year hiatus from competition. Seven of the original 12 players attended the 50th anniversary ceremony.

Note- Some Copy taken from the Harding Sports Information Web Page and the game story by Amanda Pruitt. By the way, today is Amanda's birthday.

Photos by Noah

This is a photo of Dr. Burks praying with the football team after the last game. This photo is taken by Noah Darnell, one of my student workers. He is an excellent photographer and he is sold on film. If you look closely in the background you can see my camera being held up above the crowd trying to capture the same shot from the other side.
