While the Bison has taken a more modern look this year, we also acknowledge the importance of recognizing where you came from. It is because of this, and in honor of the weekend’s Homecoming festivities, that we have decided to make this issue of the Bison a tribute to the past.Within the pages of what we are calling our “throwback,” you will find tribute stories to Ju Go Ju’s 85th anniversary, the 1972 Bison football team and the progress of many campus organizations. You will read letters from some of the Bison’s former staffers and learn the story of one of Harding’s Distinguished Alumni couples. You will learn things you never knew about our president, Dr. David B. Burks. You will learn how different the rules were in 1943 and what makes the Harding woman so unique today.Above all, we hope you will enjoy our attempt to bring the vintage life back into fashion this week. If you are a guest, welcome! We have a map with key Homecoming activities on page 6A that you can refer to if you find yourself lost in the Homecoming magic. If you are a student, please learn from this issue and the Bison students that came before us. In putting together this week’s issue, I have had the opportunity to learn from so many caring people who share this place with us.So come on in. Stay for a while.SARAH KYLE serves as the editor-in-chief of the Bison. She may be contacted atskyle@harding.edu.
