The dreaded beep catches this student, as it does many. The beep could cause a large delay and a headache before its through with the student. Experienced registerees will beat the beep with alternative classes to choose from. Faying the tuition is painful but i sary. The rising cost of tuition hits Union just like other schools, but that doesn t seem to help relieve any of the agony. Getting your picture made for the year- book is optional, but those who choose to bypass this step need to re- alize they will not appear in the year- book and need not complain.

The Art Of Registering For Class, Line By Line Advising l step in tht tani II is their advii progress. ' student on what class to take is the first • registering process and the most impor- the advisor ' s responsibility to make sure ee is on the right track for the academic The ritual of registering for class begins with the meeting with one ' s advisor. Deciding what class to take can be the easiest and quickest part of the process, because next comes the waiting in lines. The first line one encoun- ters is the line for the comput- er center. It is necessary to get in this line early if you are worried about not getting into a much needed class. Once you have arrived in the center more tension and anxiety await. Each student cringes as the much dreaded beep from the computer sounds and the inevitable words, Sorry, this class is closed. This bad news could mean a delay of hours. The next stop is the line for the business office. This could be the most painful line of all. because this line takes your money — and a lot of it! The wait could be for hours, but the more experienced register- ees will put this line off till late afternoon and wait for about thirty minutes. The business office line has two parts. The first part is where the students sign financial aid forms for scholarships, grants and loans. After you have signed your life away (about ten times), then you go to part two. Part two of the business line consists of a small wait, then the actual act of paying tu- ition. This is the part that real- ly hurts, especially when you write the word thousand on your check. After this trauma, you need a rest. Maybe you can run by the snack bar to recuperate. The next wait in line is in the student lounge. Here the student gets his new I.D.. parking permit, and his picture taken for the yearbook. The new I.D. and yearbook pic- tures are optional and many weary registerees choose to bypass these. By this time the challenge of registering is over. It ' s been a long day. but much has been accomplished. And just think, you don ' t have to do it again for another four months. Ok h idtrA YmJ

Union Breaks Ground On New School Of Business Dr. Howard Newell. Pean of Professional Studies, had the honor of turning the first spade of dirt at the groundbreaking ceremonies for the new School of Business in October The atmosphere was antici- pative Tuesday morning, Oc- tober 13. 1987. as faculty, stu- dents, and honored guests gathered on the site of the new School of Business, where the groundbreaking ceremony for the long-awaited construc- tion took place. Dr. Hyran E. Barefoot presided over the 9:00 a.m. event that symbol- ized an important step in the future of Union University and highlighted the week ' s special inaugural activities. Efforts have been underway since December 1985 to es- tablish a School of Business Administration at Union Uni- versity. At that time. Vice- President Barefoot identified to President Craig the need for this new facility. It was ap- proved, a building location was determined, and tentative floor plans were drawn during the spring of 1986. Soon thereafter, efforts were acti- vated to secure the estimated $5,000,000 needed to under- write the cost of the project. Donated monies will pay for the building, furnishings and equipment, endowment for scholarships, endowed chairs, and professorships. The major donors will lend their names to the building, to the School of Business Administration, and to the endowed chairs and professorships. A gradu- ate program is also being con- sidered. Construction did not offi- cially begin until early spring 1 988. with the occupancy pro- jected for next fall. The build- ing houses business faculty of- fices, five large classrooms, a reception area and a unique facility that will accommodate the Jackson area business community. Outside business- es will be able to use the des- ignated portion of the new building for a variety of meet- ings, conferences, seminars and special training sessions. Ms. Sharon Younger, has been named the director for busi- ness and economic service. Market research will also be launched from the College of Business in the following months to link Union ' s new annex and the business com- munity. yOk WluitA Ymi
