thirty-nine memories (32)

Memory #32: Buncha Bethel

I've been around Bethel a fairly long time, now. This is actually my seventeenth year on campus. Here's a buncha Bethel memories.

I remember when...

• the acorn was in the dining commons, which was then called the campus center.
• the campus center doubled as the chapel three days a week.
• Reflection Pond was a mud volleyball pit.
• there were two dormitories on campus--Shupe and Oakwood.
• there was one computer in Oakwood, and no one knew what the Internet was.
• you had to get to a Bethel basketball game at least thirty minutes before tip-off if you wanted to get in.
• the soccer field was a sort of garbage dump.
• the tennis courts were a soccer field.
• the parking lot by the soccer field were tennis courts.
• Wiekamp was a parking lot.
• the Wiekamp parking lot was a practice soccer field.
• the fine arts building was a terrifying wilderness.
• God showed up at Spiritual Emphasis week, 1991.
