0Wt Vol- XXXIV UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, November 9, 1961 No. 4 Becky Anderson and Diane Fuller put the finishing strokes on backdrops for the ASB's "Cap- tain's Dinner Party" coming this Sunday evening. Plans Reveal $400,000 Dam Final plans have revealed that a flood control dam and recrea- tion area will be built at Union's back door within the next two years, said G. L. Caviness, aca- demic dean. Ground breaking for the project was held yesterday. The dam will produce a lake with a 2'/2 rnile shoreline within 6 blocks of the college. The area is expected to near partial completion in the spring of 1963 when it will be opened to public use. With the lake so near the col- lege, it will provide the students with a place for boating, swim- ming and other water sports. "The administration," joked Caviness, "will be considering regulations governing students bringing boats to school in the future." Antelope dam, first in a series of 12 flood control dams, will be able to hold 6,600 acre-feet of water widiout any loss through the spillage, say the planning en- gineers. The $400,000 dam will be built by the Stewart Contraction of Lincoln under the direction of the Army Corps of Engineers. On completion, it could hold more dian twice the amount of rain which fell in Kansas when the reccnt hurricane Carla moved north from Texas and Louisiana, ac- cording to Col. H. G. Woodbury from the Omaha Corps of Engin- College Testing Academy Students The Union College testing and guidance service is testing students of the academies in the Northern and Central Union conference for the second consecutive year. The testing and guidance service consists of Mr. George Stone, as- sistant professor of education and psychology, Dr. Lowell Welch, dean of student affairs, prospec- tive academy teachers, and the admission counselors. Mr. Stone said, "The two main reasons for testing are so the aca- demies have accurate records of the students' ability and progress and so Union College will know the type of seniors who plan to attend Union next year so tlioy can be counseled accordingly." The student body of each acad- emy is tested on mental abilities, general achievement, and vocation- al interest. The seniors are inter- viewed and encouragcd about the prospects of the future and life work. Sunnydale and Enterprise acad- emies have been tested. Maple- wood, Platte Valley, Sheyenne Riv- er, and Plainview academies will bo tested on November 5-7, 15- 17, 19-22 respectively. Oak Park and Campion will be tested in De- cember.
