Memories of Noah and his ark MEMORIES NO MORE ■C ' UJoc iriuoi ,iu.M Once upon a time in the land of Yore The residents never knew the agony of war; The blood, the death, the tears, the gore. They didn ' t worry about the possibility of crime; The murky muddy Mississippi slime, Nor a dollar that wasn ' t worth a dime. No stomachs to hurt or throats to ail For People of Yore were always well In a land that resembled a beautiful dell. The lion played with the male child Each with a temperment oh, so, mild As outsiders looked on amazed and beguiled. What was happening in the Land of Yore? Why were pain, suffering and death no more And happiness, peace and contentment to soar? The people of earth and heaven they sing For the Land of Yore has a new king: The one Jehovah has promised to bring. by Carmella Patton TOP RIGHT: The nood waters seep in ihc .Student Center base- ment.

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK! Monmouth found out the hard way that when it rains, it pours. Three floods during the summer of ' 82 completely destroyed the base- ment of the Student Center. Agreed, a lot of work needed to be done to the Styx, the gameroom, and the bowling alley, but a flood was not a welcomed answer to the problem. Among the other casualties were . . . well, everything. The radio station sent a barrage of record rafts to res- cue all of the drowning cockroaches but the help came too late (Thank God!). The photo lab also found itself in a distressing position. The time had come to end one era and begin a new age: the Working Equip- ment Age. Now that the rebulding is done, the basement of the Stu- dent Center can once again be enjoyed or, in the case of the gameroom (sauna?), be tolerated.
