Reception Opens Year With Style Curiosity forces you back to your mailbox for the third time that day, and your efforts are rewarded. The invita- tion to the President ' s Reception was there to announce the annual event. The President ' s Reception allows the students the opportunity each year to meet the faculty, administration, staff. and Dr. Robert Craig in a pleasant but formal setting. It ' s a chance to see another side of the people we think we know so well. This marked Dr. and Mrs. Craig ' s fifteenth year at Union, and the couple greeted the students with their usual ease and charm. The cafeteria was transformed with the tables of delicious food and punch and the atmosphere produced by students in formal attire. The reception marks just another example of Union ' s attempts to develop every aspect of the students ' lives.

Registration and Moving In Means Hugs, Helios and Few Hassles Hi! How was your summer? Where do you live on campus? What ' s your major? Try to get that class, I passed it! Etc., etc., etc. The familiar lingo of registration and moving in was noted by 1,374 students enrolled this fall at Union. This is the first year that all residents are housed on the campus. The addition of 60 additional spaces allowed Union to maintain last year ' s student population. The freshmen once again had the opportunity to get acquainted with college life a little earlier by attending orientation. The welcome parties provided the upperclassmen the neces- sary time to catch up and when classes finally got underway the new friend- ships offered the needed comfort and security with understanding smiles.

Construction Builds New Hopes for Union Construction began in November of last year on Union ' s new Student Activity building and enlarged Book- st ore. This project is the largest single expansion of the Penick Academic Complex since the building was occupied in the fall of 1975. The 170,000 - square-foot classroom building will be extended 153 feet toward Walker Road with the Main Corridor running 85 feet of that length, stopping at the entrance to the new Olympic-size swimming pool. Dr. Robert Craig states that a total of 26,597 - square-feet will be added to the building. The project, expected to cost nearly $900,000, is being financed through pledges to the Expansion Program which raised $1.75-million for enlargement of the complex. Completion of the addition, expected in December of 1983, is contingent on those pledges. The Student Activity Building will provide a six-lane swimming pool, two racquetball courts, a mini-gym for intramurals and campus activities, dressing rooms, a large game room, and an office and storage area. The fully-functioning student center will enclose 18,437 - square-feet adjacent to the Athletic Department. The Bookstore will more than triple its space through the construction effort. Manager Louise Lynch says that the expansion will allow the bookstore to offer more reference and general interest books, enlarge the soft goods area, and possibly add a line of packaged convenience foods. The col- lege post office, which shares a wall and is supervised by bookstore personnel, will be relocated in the new bookstore area with its mail boxes increased from 1,100 to 1,500, with future expansion potential of up to 2,000. The Student Services Center will expand into a portion of the area vacated by the bookstore, said Vice President of Student Affairs Maggie Nell Brewer. Though plans have not been finalized, tentative arran- gements would remodel the area to include a larger medical clinic, office space for the SGA and related functions, expanded testing center, and a possible career information center adjacent to the Director of Placement Counseling. Other changes that have occurred within the past year include the relocation of the Computer Center and the Religious Affairs Office, the erecting of the famous Sugar Shack, and the new Alpha Tau Omega fraternity lodge. In the past seven years. Union has greatly expanded beyond its original struc- ture. With this expansion comes the promise of continued growth. ATO makea new addition to fraternity row. An enlarged Bookstore will eliminate present overcrowded conditions. Trees were cleared and sidewalks removed to enlarge Penick Complex 1982 senior class officers make their contribution to Union in the form of the Sugar Shack for student enjoyment.
