Hacker Trivia!!

[RAIDER]

"In the early/mid '80s there was a disagreement between two groups of students.  If escalated to the point that Dr. Hyles came to the college and met with the two groups.  What two items caused the issue?"

Pink shirts and pleated pants

There was a group of students (several from California) who wore pink shirts and pleated pants.  Another group of bus ministry Hackers (led by the Esposito brothers) begin to say that the shirts and pants were "gay".  It reached a point of contention To cause Dr. Hyles to meet with both groups after a chapel service. 
There are two things I remember from their meeting.  Dr. Hyles asked one of the Esposito brothers what was wrong with pleated pants.  He said they looked "gay".  Dr. Hyles said, "The pants that I wore as a paratrooper were pleated.  Was I gay?"  I wish I could have seen their faces.    Secondly, to calm the storm they "outlawed" pink shirts.  In turn Dr. Hyles agreed to pay (I think it was $10???) for every pink shirt that was turned in. 

Nice job on getting half correct, Fish and Binaca!

Was there a separate incident with horn-rimmed glasses?  These too, were outlawed.

Actually that was before my time.  I'm not sure if they were actually outlawed.  Carl Laurent was famous for preaching against wire-rimmed glasses.  I'm guessing the stories came from this.

Who was the HAC student that could do a Elvis impersonation that Elvis would have envied?

Would that be Larry Weeks?

Good memory........he was crazy funny in other chapel skits also.

In the early '80s Bill Pennell preached the Valentine Banquet message at HAC.  What was the name of his message?

A stroll down lovers lane.

Laurent would go off on bib-overalls, "because them there hippies wore 'em."

Do you remember his impersonation of Dr. Hyles.  It was spot on!  It was shortly after Larry's Dr. Hyles impersonation became famous that they made a rule that you could not impersonate a staff member.

Laurent would go off on bib-overalls, "because them there hippies wore 'em."

He preached against wearing blue jeans.  A student in my class asked him, "What am I suppose to wear to work in the factory?"  Laurent told him to go to the second hand store and purchase some double-knit pants.

One day in his class I was wearing painter style pants.  After class he told me he wanted to speak to me and Mark Crutchfield.  He lectured me on why I shouldn't be wearing those type of pants.  He thought Crutchfield's pants were too tight.  Laurent said (and I quote), "I can see which way you are pointing".  Classic moment!

I'm sure Laurent was a very sincere man who loved the Lord.  He did more damage to HAC's academic reputation than any other teacher.

My parents would not let me wear blue jeans either. Other than gym class, shorts were out of the picture. Playing or working outside in the summer wearing corduroy pants was not fun!

Now BOTH of my parents will wear jeans! (Still won't go to movies, though.)

Now to Laurent. His office was right next to my mom's. One day when in high school, I passed him in the hall outside his office and he lectured me that I was sinning by playing on the high school football team. He then went into his office and pulled out this book (can't recall the name of it) and it allegedly showed why exercise of any kind was putting stress on the body and that in doing so was destroying the temple of God.

I just nodded and when I got in my mom's office, threw the book away.

All you can do is laugh and shake your head about some of this stuff.  Yes, if you did not attend HAC, these stories are real and true.  You have to wonder why a guy like Laurent would want to work for a ministry that supported and encouraged so many things that he considered "sin".

Would that be Larry Weeks?

Good memory........he was crazy funny in other chapel skits also.

Evidently Allen Domelle missed that rule.
