Memories of a parking lot Remember when there used to be a parking lot where the gym is? Commencement last year saw the ground-breaking ceremonies, and one year later. Commencement 1983, the facili- ty was dedicated. The year was not without its problems. Some students protested the need for the facility during the dedication; others thought it was a wonderful idea; still others had no opinion. Then the rains came. And although the gym itself was not affected, workers were hindered by the standing water, the soggy ground and no sun. Yet, administrators were encouraged: The gym would be one of the few places that would be dry should another great deluge come. School started and new problems occured. How do the people in Gibson get to the Student Center? What is the quickest way to get from HT to Wallace Hall by means of North Main, Monmouth? Where am I supposed to park?

Memories of tests, term papers, and Study? Who studies at Mon- mouth College? Isn ' t college a huge resort: a place to get away from it all, relax, swim, play ten- nis, sunbathe, and most important- ly, party? So, what is this word, study, doing in our vocabulary? It sounds quite threatening to someone who thought they were on an extended holiday. Of course, this isn ' t the real Monmouth Col- lege (most of the time). Those who come here expecting to be able to enjoy all of the pleasures of life without a worry are usually very rudely awakened to the fact that this college is a place to learn, as well as, a place to relax.
