' ■ . Students work as a team in the radio lab. 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.

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.

BSU Retreat: Reaching My World Now Brandon Springs, Kentucky was packed with over 170 BSU members from Union during the BSU fall retreat. This year the theme was Reaching My World Now with a special emphasis on Christian witness. Larry Reeves, Associate BSU Director of the University of Knoxville, led the study Friday night and Saturday morning. Larry Murphy opened the worship service Fri- day, and Dr. Walton Padelford shared with the group Saturday night. The final session held Sunday morning was led by Rick Astle, Director of Admissions of South- ern Seminary. Dr. Bob Agee of Union also led two ses- sions. The retreat provided a time for Christian growth and a time for Christian fun. Those at the retreat could try their hand at canoeing, basketball, football, volleyball, as well as other activities. It is hoped that the theme will continue to live on the Union campus. The [ohnson sisters sing a tune. Larry Reeves shares experiences.
