TWO SIDES Teaching assistants were a common sight around the campus. They could be found in almost all of our science laboratories and in our English classes. Classes with large lectures, such as Psy- chology and Sociology divided the classes up into smaller discussions. The students then had the opportunity to deal with their problems on a more personal basis. Were the dving assistant liPHMy? Pro- fessors argued that the TA ' s .;| g4.he primary link betwee ' the students ajoHlB H fessors. Teaching assistants also provided the connec- tion that allowed students an atmo |djere of learning similar to that of high sdflWr class- rooms.

' ' Hum ' ' Workers X. hey ' re everywhere! Where do they all come from? Do they live here or something? Anytime a student was in need in the Student Union, there was always someone in the near vicinity who would be able to help out. The Information Desk probably received most of the lost people who were continually wandering around the Union in search of You know, that place with the pool tables and stuff. The Union can seem very large until you get to know it a little better. Some upperclassmen may still look puzzled when freshmen ask for direc- tions to places as obscure as the Arizona Ballroom. Then there were those people we never saw but who were taking care of the place and making sure the Union stayed in good condition. Bill May- torena worked five days a week cleaning out various rooms. Other people took care of things such as the maintenance of the place or the locking up of the Union. So, even if we didn ' t see them, we always knew that they were there, the silent workers who kept everything running smoothly in the Student Union. • Wendy Ursell Smiling faces greeted people in need. There ' s always some- one willing to help people out around the U of A. Photo by GREG BERG UNION WORKERS 183
