Harding Recruitment Video-1988

I saw this on Dr. Elrod's blog, but I just had to put it on here. Below are some clips from the Harding recruitment video from 1988.

Some highlights include:

  • An introduction from then Governor Bill Clinton
  • Narration by Jeff Walling (who is currently banned from speaking at Harding)
  • The awesome 80's clothes/hair
  • The "high tech" computers in what then was called the Beaumont Library
  • Jimmy Allen looked exactly the same 20 years ago as he does now
  • The student center looked awesome back then! Bowling, pool, ping pong and arcade games. Now all we have is the stupid pit. I should have come here in the 80's.
  • Trying to recruit students by showing it all snowy at Harding. I think we've had real snow twice since I've been here. But 1988 must have been before global warming.
  • We had only 5 departments back then compared to.....I don't know.....a bunch now.
  • The awesome old video games
  • The old nursing outfits
  • Spring Sing looks exactly the same.....some things never change
You can also watch part 2 and part 3

Three things...

80's clothes and hair (not to mention music) was awesome!

It did snow more in 87, 88, 89.

The student center was very ugly, but it rocked!
