In 27 days, I'll be back on campus at my alma-mater at an extra special homecoming as Lebanon Valley College continues celebrating its 150th birthday. In honor of that countdown, here's memory #27: a very very busy news week from March of 1994.
I fully intended for this to just be a memory about the theatre renovations (what with how important the Little/Leedy Theatre was to my particular LVC journey) ... and then I got drawn in to all the *other* stories from that issue of the school newspaper.
Let it never be said that we were in just a sleepy little college town -- there were unsolved random shootings into the sides of dorm buildings (from New Year's Eve), stolen mascots (like in every college movie ever made), and a student who raged out and put his hand through a glass window (something so memorable for me that I actually recreated it in the short story I'm currently writing on social media one day at a time -- changing the name there to protect the guilty, of course).
All that PLUS a new and improved campus theatre ... just in time for the spring musical that year ... coming soon to this countdown.
