The Day In The Life Of A Student A day in the life of a Union student is full and busy with various events and classes. It starts early and ends late and would tire most people not used to college life. The day starts anywhere be- tween 6-7 am with a rude alarm clock. After a few swipes at the snooze button, it ' s off to the shower in hopes of hot water. After showering, dressing, and getting that just- right look, it ' s time for break- fast in the Union University cafeteria around 7:30. After a delectable breakfast, it ' s time for that eight o ' clock class. It ' s hard to stay awake, but the old college try is given. After another class at nine o ' clock, chapel begins at 10:00. After chapel some students may be lucky to have a break. This time may be spent check- ing the empty mailbox, visiting the student activity center, getting last minute studying in at the library, or catching an early lunch. The afternoon is usually a little busier. The students who have class at eleven or twelve, may drop by the snack bar for lunch. The studious students will be found back in class or in the library. Many students have jobs on and off-campus, while some students take it easy with a game of golf ten- nis, or Softball. The nightlife at Union may leave a little to be desired, but besides studying there are some things to do — ranging from catching a movie on bargain night , talking with friends in the commons, to vis- iting the activity center or par- ticipating in intramural events. The Union student ' s night will probably end around one or two in the morning when he finally makes it back to his own room. Making the most of twenty-four hours. Union stu- dents keep on the go while making the grade. Lisa Campbell takes a visit to the library as home- work dictates research. Union ' s high academic standards require students to spend a consider- able lime in the library. On WkOlA Yml

Jackson, TN Is Growing And Changing Alongside Union t Jackson. TN — home of Union University is a small city of 50,000 people, nestled in central West Tennessee. And like Union, it ' s growing, changing, and meeting the needs of its citizens. The past few years have meant great change for Jack- son. Everywhere you look, construction abounds as the Jackson landscape revolves into a completely new city. Just in the past year several new restaurants, hotels, busi- ness buildings, and apartment complexes have been built. And Jackson seems to be mov- ing to the north toward Union. What will this mean for the University? Will it be just a matter of time before Union will be back in the same pre- dicament it was in just over ten years ago on the old cam- pus? And with the expansion in size came some very important changes in civic law in Jack- son. Two well publicized law changes were passed during the past year. The first law change was one that was well publicized and involved many emotions here at Union. The law passed in Jackson was li- quor by the drink. This was a contest that local churches fought. But after the law was passed many new restaurants and night spots sprung up adding to the ever-changing Jackson skyline. The other law that brings change to Jackson is the re- zoning of Jackson s voting dis- trict. How this affects Union, time will only tell. The law was passed to give fair representa- tions to minorities. As Jackson ' s population grows, the need for whole- some entertainment also grows. The introduction of the United Artist movie theatre was just the ticket. Movie prices immediately went down, much to the delight of college students all across Jackson. So Jackson is changing and growing just like Union Uni- versity, and with these changes come a few bumps along the road. But if the two work together the bumps will be smoothed out. Union Uni- versity and Jackson pulling to- gether can ' t lose. Suhwjy. located behind The Pier restaurant, is one of Union student ' s favorite late night snack places. Subway serves specialty sandwiches of all types. 6, t UrA Yml
