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

8:00 A.M. trampoline classes start the clay off right! -,-9-i - j ' Student teachers Jim Thompson and Frank Babcock find it ' s not always easy to hold the attention of a junior high class. Laboratory training is an essential part of science instruction. A session with Gatlin and Goldsmith provides sophomores with a more thorough understanding of English Literature. The work of the administration and staff is unceasing, often frustrating. Enlisting the support of parents and benefactors, even attracting dynamic speakers for Thurs- day assembly programs are not the simple tasks that is often imagined. One of the central concerns of the College, however, faces those whose specific duty is to care for our academic welfare. It is their lot to see that we have the best course of instruction possible, to push the already high standards of which we are gen- uinely proud even higher. Thus, new courses are period- ically added to the curriculum, giving us a chance to plumb new depths of knowledge and better fit us to live in our complex society. Also, steady attempts are made to improve the conditions under which we must learn. Lakeside Residence Hall, the Physical Educa- tion Building, and the new Student Union Building each serve to render more agreeable the world of ideas and fun which the groves of academe create. 21
