Married students often spend their free time enjoying a friendly game of cards. Married Students Experience a New Way of Life Many students at Union have already discovered their better halves and said, I do. To many others life in the marriage courts appears enviable but to those who live there the added chores and responsi- bilities also bceome a vital reality. They do their own cooking, sewing and cleaning; they make their weekly pilgrimage to the IGA or A P, and although a young mother may be kept awake half the night by a colic-beset Jr. she still has to make that 8:00 A.M. class. Often both husband and wife are stu- dents and learn to take turns baby sitting, if neces- sary, as well as doing household chores; in other cases, one partner may find it necessary to work to support the family while the other attends classes. Whatever the situation, the college ' s many-sided face is enhanced by the married students ' presence. The sharing of a piece of cake at their wedding reception is symbolic of a lifetime of sharing for Lenny and Sandy Shetler. Those wedding cookbooks soon turn new housewives into excellent cooks. 19

Commuters Are Often Seen But Seldom Heard The Hub provides commuter students with a pleasant atmosphere for lunch, or for relaxation between classes. Many students commute to Union from surround- ing towns several miles away; others come from distances no farther than across the street. The com- muter ' s life is an entirely different one than that of the resident: he takes most of his meals at home and is thus denied participation in the central complaint which plagues the dormitory student; due to driving distances, he often rises early and retires early; his social life is most often centered around his home town acquaintances. Many times during the year floods and snows either make hazardous or im- possible his getting to school. His image as the name- less face on campus, however, is gradually being superceded through increasing participation in school activities. Men in town could be called half-way com- muters. Doing their own shopping and cooking is a big task, but not unpleasant by any means! College Street is always ' rowded with the cars of I ' I ' ' FltS. jh .ii iij .. wii ii i ii I [ I I i « ' f .
