FRESHMEN Brad Edgington When I first came to Union College I thought to myself How did 1 get myself into this mess?! After a few weeks, however, I got to know more people and found there were quite a few more nice people than 1 had at first thought. There is something about Union College that does not let go. (I think it ' s the financial aid office.) Although some people complain about the food, I like it. I also like the high ratio of girls to the guys here. What I like best about Union is the sense of caring among the faculty, staff and students. Since we see each other almost every day, we are able to get to know each other better than if we were at a large university. The professors do not push but are concerned about the students education, too. They are more like co- learners, because they learn from the students. At first, things seemed pretty dead around here, but this year there have been more activities on campus. So, 1 think I ' ll stick around a little while longer!

PROFILE ■K P sr ' UBS 1 ■HBTb Hh h ||k - ' Hfl HK Don ' t draw attention to yourself for tfie wrong reasons, our new Dean of Students is fond of saying. He practices what he preaches. In the three months he ' s been on campus, he ' s drawn attention to himself for all the right reasons. By his highly visible presence among us and the manner of his involvement and interaction with students, he has rapidly established himself as beneficial to our community on a number of levels. Our attention is drawn to him as friend, educator, entertainer, student advocate. He does many things, most of them well, and, in his versatility, he brings a welcome perspective to the Deanery. Quickly he has become Dean For Students. As important to us for what he does not do as Dean, as he is for his positive actions in our behalf, Mr. Ed does not (like one of his predecessors) lurk in bushes to spy on students, or pop up, Polaroid in hand, at the slightest hint of a problem. Instead he goes efficiently and effectively about the business of learning what Union ' s students want in activities, assistance, housing, and the million-and-one other components of his job, and he responds well to these and many other needs. All of this he performs with good-natured and unfaltering dedication, in his own quiet but forceful style. My goal, he smiles, is to slip through here without anyone even knowing I ' ve been around. Sorry, Mr. D., but that ' s one goal you won ' t attain here. You ' ve already made your mark on Union College. We KNOW you ' re here, and we ' re GLAD. Courtesy of Union Express
