Move in...

Moving in and up: Barth (in white) and Wayer

... is not today, but later this week. Yes, Stedsmen from all over the United States and around the world will move in later this week as the new Fall Semester begins next week. As they are busy packing, a former Stedsman, Will Barth '14, noticed an eye catching post on the University's FaceBook page. What Barth spied was something in the past... his very self moving into Steds! Here's what Barth said when I caught up with him.

St. Ed: Barth, who took that amazing shot of you and Greyson Wayer moving that couch into the Hall?

Barth: I have no idea who took this pic, and I haven’t seen it before that I can remember. Maybe the University has a photographer that goes around? Definitely not from my Facebook that I know of

St. Ed: How did you run across this special post?

Barth: Actually, my sister, who graduated ND last year, first noticed that picture on the post last week. If she hadn’t, I never would have seen it since it’s buried in the post, picture 8 of 10.

St. Ed: Where did you get the couch?

Barth: That’s definitely my junior year, lived in 326? That room was a big double at the end of that wing, and I loved with Pat Wall. I do remember the crummy couch because my dad picked it out on Craigslist because it was a bargain. I’m sure he’s happy the couch was included since he picked it out, and but it’s painful for my mom. She hates the couches he picks. Sadly, the couch was a causality in the course of the year. Happy memories for sure.

St. Ed: Is there anything you would like the readership to know about your “beloved” couch?

Barth: There were many great things about Steds, and this couch was one of them. It wasn’t like all the other ones. It was special. It understood me, and now, I only wish I told it so when I had the chance.
