The Antioch chapter has been much more active this year than formerly and its membership has increased to a sur- prising extent. In this increased interest there has been built up a very valuable habit of an informal 'fswappingn of experi- ences among the members aside from the general considera- tion and discussion of professionally important subjects.

ANTIOCH UNION HE Antioch Union was organized in the fall of One of its chief projects has been the ' of the college campus. During the spring and fall of 1929, with Charles Vandersluis as president, the Union completed a much needed drainage system on the north-west section of the campus-between the girls' dormi- tory and North College Street. In connection with the drain- age system, a shale walk was put in and a rustic lily pond constructed. Charles Eastman has been president for the year 1929-30. Under his guidance the rear of South Hall will be cleaned up, remodeled, shrubs planted, and walks put in. Mr. Magru- der has been active in the Work of the Union, and Stanley Brewster, an alumnus, is working on a general landscaping plan which will include vines for the gymnasium and science building. Mr. W. I. Norton, father of Iohn Norton-an Antioch student-presented the Union this year with a thousand tulip bulbs. These have been planted in various parts of the campus. The Union has been handicapped this year by weather difficulties and the fact that a large deficit was left from last year. More than 55900 was spent on campus improvements in 1928-29 and it was necessary to make up the deficit caused by this rather large expenditure, before the Union could go ahead with a more constructive program. 141 it
