President ' s Reception Is Annual Event The President ' s Reception is an annual affair to which the student body, the faculty, administration, and staff are invited. This year it was once again held in the cafe- teria. Attendance was relatively unhampered by rain, as the guests seemed to ignore the weather outside while enjoying good food and conversation. The reception provides a good opportunity to become better acquainted with faculty members. Also it gives the average student a chance to meet members of the admin- istration that he or she would not ordinarily come into contact with. Rev. and Mrs. Paul Williams (right) were special guests. Mr. Merv Yeagle and Ms. Denise Stevenson chat with students.

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. W W Clark painted an enlarged map of the Mediterranean world in the C-6 classroom. Union is the third school he has painted this type of map for as a contribution. EQii H JiM H iind Mrs. Robert Jelks pose with Dr. Craig in front of the new en ' s dormitory named in memory of their daughter, Cynthia Jelks, was a student at Union until her death in 1976.

BSU Retreat Held in Brandon Springs, Kentucky Several members of the BSU spent a refreshing week- end on a retreat at Brandon Springs in Kentucky. The 120 people attending the retreat participated in various activities during the v eekend. The theme of this year ' s retreat was Growing in Christ. There were Bible stud- ies each night with services afterwards. One of the high- lights of the weekend was a Gong Show conducted Sat- urday night in which many BSU members displayed their talent (or lack of it) in skits, songs, and other enter- taining acts. Sunday morning brought the retreat to a close. A song from Amy Evans and the concluding message delivered by Larry Murphy put a good wrap on the weekend. Even though bodies were tired and many were sleepy, the re- treat was a time of growth and spirits were renewed. A song from George Guthrie gives opportunity for reflection. Sunday morning services were held outdoors in the amphitheater.
