UNION VOX
By Sara Hahnel
UNION PRESIDENT
Welcome back everyone! I
hope it was a nice summer. For
those of you who don't know
me, my name is Sara Hahnel,
and I'll be your UNION presi
dent this year. The purpose of
UNION is to find out how the
students want to be enter
tained and to bring it to cam
pus. We listened to sugges
tions and requests about things
you wanted to change and im
prove, and have been working
hard all summer to make sure
this fall is a good one. As we all
know, Guilford students have
incredibly diverse personali
ties and we have tried to sat
isfy all those different desires.
However, the best way to
get involved and get your voice
heard and to get what you want
is to be directlv involved with

To have your event or meeting appear on the Week at Guilford, submit it outside the
publications suite in the box labeled public senuce announcements. Please turn it in
before Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. and mark that it is for the Week at Guilford.
UNION. If you want to help
choose and plan the films,
speakers, bands, coffeehouses,
dances, comedians, or off-cam
pus events, you should come to
the meetings. Don't forget about
Serendipity (our end-of-year
bash). We always need a lot of
help planning that! Don't worry
if you don't have experience
with this sort of thing. UNION
is a team effort, and we would
love to welcome you to the
team.
Our first meeting is Sun
day, August 29 at 4 pm up
stairs in Founders. Take a
break from your homework and
spend some time thinking about
the fun stuff. If you have any
questions or comments about
UNION or our events please
call the UNION office at x 2303.
I look forward to seeing every
one at the UNION events and
wish everyone good luck this
semester!
