.c.C. Alumni Dinner, Dance, and Fun by David Shatter s the evening began, you could tell it was going to be one of those rare, comfortable evenings. A relaxing good time with good food, entertainment, and friends. The food was fantastically prepared and plentiful. Mike Kinney’s Jazz Exchange was beyond comparison, great for dancing as well as just sitting and talking. But the real joy of the evening was the friendship so apparent as Joe Flanagan again used his unique style of humor (2), and Bob Landon hit us again with his delightful way of relating any story. Dr. Beattie presented Bob with a Distinguished Service Award which was well deserved. Mike Kinney’s Jazz Exchange, Fantastic! David Shaffer David Shaffe avic affer David Shaf 24 Campus Life

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
