Well-Dressed for Dinner
If you’re a Seattle Pacific alumnus or alumna, you probably have many memories of time spent “at the table” during your SPU days: dining hall fare, shared meals with classmates or professors, and maybe a glimpse of that special guy or girl across the room …
In this undated photo, Seattle Pacific students and (we think) faculty members are gathered at beautifully set tables in classy attire, ready to partake — as soon as the picture’s taken. Do you recognize the room?
Be the first to identify this photo’s location, and you could win an SPU sweatshirt! Contact
us below or at response@spu.edu with your answers, and tell us the setting for this meal.

Meet the Programmers
Pictured in the December 1980 issue of Response were two students: Martin Smith ’84 (right) and Jonathan Bisnett ’82, looking over a computer printout.
In the accompanying article, Professor of Computer Science Mike Tindall was sanguine about the job outlook for computer programmers. “Today,” he said, “An employer can pay a secretary $15,000 for one year of work, or he can go down to his computer store and pay $12,000 for a nice computer system that will last years.” How times have changed.
No Response reader correctly identified the photo subjects, so we didn’t have a contest winner. Better luck next time!
