PREVENTION a4 Health Fitness Fest Keepin’ In Shape by Anna Marie Sumner he Health and Fitness Fest of 1985 was held on October 9 in the student center. Health and Fitness Fest is a celebration of wellness-health of mind, body and spirit. Many health department officials were pleased with the large student turn out. Students showed up to have a look around, take various health tests, and ask curious questions. Many displays included video tapes on certain topics, com- puter analysis and flexibility screenings. Other activities students could venture into were nutrition, fitness, stress management, cardiac health screenings, and CPR demonstrations. Social issues included talks about rape, vices for the disabled, new information on contraceptives, and talks on alcholism. To draw even larger crowds a karate demonstration was given by Hidy Ochiai’s karate school. Being the volunteer isn’t so bad, at least he got to lay down. Waiting is the hard part of any project. For live entertainment Micky Nugent played Slim Goodbody in a small stage presentation that lasted 45 minutes. Micky Nugent is not the real Slim Goodbody from Captain Kangaroo but he is one of the 3 men who act as Slim all over the country. His performance included information on fitness, nutrition, and exercise. Health Fitness Fest 21

The Union standing out in the back of Lot O. R. Bruce MacGregor, “Father’’ of the Union and Student Activities. Nikke Hambalek David Shatter The Union The What The Where by Emily Garber nion, what’s the Union? That Was a common question BCC students would ask this year when told that the newly rebuilt stu- dent Union was finally open after al- most two years in the making. Where’s the Union? Students didn’t realize that alumminum-type building at the far end of student Parking Lot O was their student Union. Everyone thought that it was a garage. Soon numerous complaints arose from students, claiming that the new Union was too far away from campus to be worth the trip. Students complained that it was as least a five minute walk from campus, and espe- cially in bad weather, it was just too far a distance to travel. BCC students had been without a student Unior for well over a year, and even seniors were too young to re- member the old Union. The old Union had been torn down The Fulcrum, is one of many organizations housed in the Union. David Shaffer enjoys the piano in the lounge area in the summer of 1984 to make way for the new high technology building that was to be built on its lot. College officials had originally planned in the spring of 1983 to demolish it, rebuild it and open it by the fall of 1984. But, in December 1983, college president Donald W. Beattie an- nounced that “it would be more prac- tical to use the Union building as a non-personnel storage building.’’ It looked like the student Union would now be used as a garage. These plans were soon scuttled, and college officials decided that the stu- dent Union would be moved to its current location. Delays caused the Union’s reopening to be pushed back to the spring 1985 semester and then again to the fall 1985 semester. The Union fianlly officially opened the week of Oct. 1, 1985. The Union 23
