Some of these apart- ments were occupied by single women in order to allevi- ate the overflow of those registered to live in the wom- en ' s dorms.

Fall Is Marked By Big Events Governor Lamar Alexander stands with Trayce Young and Kathy Forrester at Union on the evening of October 16 where he was the fea- tured speaker at an appreciation dinner for state representative Jimmy Wallace. Dr. and Mrs. Adrian Rogers arrive on campus November 30 as he spoke during chapel service and was honored at the unveiling of his portrait in the Southern Baptist Convention President ' s Corridor. Dr. Rogers has been a trustee of Union University since 1974. As a project to raise money for summer missions, the Baptist Student Union sponsored a Haunted House. All campus organizations were in- vited to participate by sponsoring a room. The venture proved to be very successful financially and frighteningly fun for everyone in- volved. r Rev.
