President ' s Reception Is Gala Affair The President ' s Reception is an event held each year to which the student body, the faculty, administration, and staff are invited. This year, as in the past, it was held in the cafeteria. The attendence was high this fall due to the increase in student enrollment. The formal affair provides a good opportunity for stu- dents to become better acquainted with faculty mem- bers. It also gives the student and administration a chance to meet one another and to establish a line of communication. Dr. Robert Craig and Amanda Patton greet students. Mrs. Betty Foellinger helps serve. Linn Stranak and Charles Huffman enjoy the food.

Unpacking was the first step. Larry Chipwood carries a heavy load. New Friends; New Faces; New Classes In the heat of summer on July 22, 1980, another group of freshman began to register at Union. The halls of the college were filled with students looking for instructors, and lines outside the computer center were a familiar scene. Upperclassmen were not immune to the tedious process, but the strain was somewhat lessened by the sight of old friends and familiar faces. However there were many new faces to be seen, with enrollment being at an all-time high. The summer was soon over and in September stu- dents old and new moved into the Union dorms. For most this was a happy yet laborious occasion. No doubt many freshmen forgot to bring some things, and many upperclassmen discovered they had brought too much. However, each item was in its place and each student had established his home away from home. Students wait their turn at the business office. TTJRI Dr. Ernie and Dr. Pat Pinson advise a student.

Additions and Opportunities The addition of a broadcasting laboratory-classroom and three communication courses last fall has strengthened Union ' s entrance into the fields of radio and television. The lab was put into service shortly after its completion in August of 1980. It was formally dedi- cated on September 23 as Instructor Patty Smith and members of the broadcasting class hosted an Open House for faculty, staff, students, and benefactors. The facility is a welcome addition to Union. As the Union campus grows, so does the need for new buildings and housing facilities. In the fall of 1980 a new maintenance building was added and new mo- bile homes were bought to house the overflow of stu- dents.
