Taking a break from class, Sunshine Bon munches on a bag of chips as her mother, Kathy, a pre-med major, watches. From 7:45 until 3:00 the LUS-A Union is the scene of card games, gossip sessions, cof- fee consumption, television viewing, pool competitions, and other forms of relaxation. Almost everyone on the campus uses the Union at one time or the other during the day, but some people - well, they seem always to be there. These are our Unionites. Filled with adventure and frolic, the Unionite's day begins with breakfast from scrambled eggs and bacon to a heated honey bun. Of course, breakfast isn't complete without stopping by the coffee table, where 156 buys a delicious cup of hot, steaming coffee. Remember: don't forget the 1502! A big decision then awaits the Unionite - which lucky group is going to have the pleas- ure of his company. After breakfast, the Unionite strolls casu- ally into the T.V. room, where he can catch a game show or two, and maybe even one of the early morning soaps Enough T.V.! On to the game room for bigger and better adventures. The shrewd Unionite knows from experience not to try either of the pin- ball machines: he finds pool and foosball much more profitable. Lunchtime hails the opening of the cafeteria which features a dif- ferent meal every day - rice and gravy or gravy and rice. A leisurely lunch is a must for the Unionite. One o'clock rolls around, and the Unionite decides to try his luck at a few hands of cards. Time passes quickly. Soon another hard day,s work draws to a close as so- longf' bye, and se ya are exchanged. Thus ends another day in the life and times of an LSU-A Unionite. Retreat. . .Regroup. . .Pursue. . .What- ever the objective, moments are found for cards, gossip, last minute review before an exam. or forjust watching the passing review.

Here is a typical classroom scene illustrating the hard work and dedication which is neces- sary to prepare for a concert. The LSUA Chorale is one of the newest and most interesting classes offered on cam- pus. While it is considered a class and credit can be earned, the chorale acts more like an organization. performing at various churches and for different organizations in this area. It is a participation class. and participation is a key-word which Dr. William Lucas, the director. will not let one forget. Dr. Lucas, who sang with professional opera companies in Europe for several years, works in coordi- nating not only the chorus, but also the other expanding music courses offered. The suc- cess of the chorale may be attributed to him. yet many members of it have taken the responsibility to see that a fine music pro- gram be offered and expanded on this cam- pus. It is this which gives the music program its life. Avid and alert chorale students observe Dr. Lucas intensely as they enter the introduction of a number.
