UNION COMPENDIUM 06-94

Alright, it's a bit late, but then again, it's what's inside that
counts.  Back again is the every prominent Union Productions with yet
another exquisite collection of fine arts.  The members of Union have
been working outrageously hard to put together the June compendium.
It is amazing to me, how far Union has been brought since the early
days of the two base groups, Void and Image.  I must take a moment to
congratulate the founding Senior members as well as the new additions
to the organizing ranks.

Union must begin by appologizing for the inconveniences created over
the last month of production.  The Senior members and other organizing
staff were at somewhat of a loss for being able to contact other members
and sites.  However, we *will* contact all those that we have yet to
reach as soon as we can.  It is this example of unreliablility that Union
strives to iron out of its group.  Again, to all those we have inconveni-
enced, please accept our apologies.

Over the last month, the hard working Ansi department has been at
it again recruiting extremely talented artists from across the US and
Canada.  Union welcomes Sole Assassin who left iDP to join the ranks of
Union.  As well, Krypton becomes a member of Union, imported in from the
now extinct Department Nine.  Elsewhere, Eclipse from Cancer teams up
with Union as an excellent RIP artist.  Eclipse will be working in both
camps by releasing alternately with each group.  Perhaps in the future,
Union will get to see more of Eclipse as a full-time member.  Union's
musical crew grows one more this month.  Florescent Darkness, formerly
of Empire, steps up beside Future Assassin and Satanic Goldfish in the
looney world of music composers.  Yes, it seems as if Union is still on
the trail of unclaimed Empire artists.

There were a few additions and, unfortunately, deletions to the site
list.  Check out the site list as well as the new and improved UniNet
nodelist (Union's own dedicated art network).  Union has finally decided
to open up a department for those dedicated people out there that so
many groups rely on but give little thanks to.  Union announces the
opening of a courier division.  As most groups know, there comes a time
when the members themselves just can't seem to pull through every month
in getting their files to the supporting sites.  With this, Union would
like to extend an invitation to all reliable and experienced couriers
to join in the Union team.  Union is in particularly looking for Canadian
couriers to even up the ranks.  To all those that are intersted and feel
that they fit the bill, don hesitate to fill out the application enclosed
and upload it promptly to Flatlined Reality.

One word more word from our network coordinator, all sites that have
recently joined in to support Union, will have to have the UniNet setup
by June 20, 1994.  This net is, however, entirely optional for member
boards.  But, for those sites who are interested in joining Union, this
is one of the major requirements to being a site and through which to
show your support.

On a more cheery note, Union wished to congratulate Nailz and
Neurotic for finally hitting puberty as they both age another year in
the final twenty-four hours of compiling the pack.  Happy Birthday guys!
And one final note, although the new and improved UniView still has some
bugs to be ironed out, I'd like to heartily thank Apex and especially
Pennywise for his hard dedicated effort put into the viewer.  As well,
the "homey" in the Ansi interface may look familiar to you, it is Dark
Image's from his old Dead Homey's PCBoard Menu.  Sorry you didn't get
direct credits in the picture Dark Image, it seems to have been removed
from beside his leg, hence these credits.  It is in no way a character
created by Nailz and is entirely Dark Image's, formerly of Union.
However, the rest of the Ansi interface is a creation of Nailz.

I think that about sums up the works and business of Union over the
last month.  We hope you enjoy the pack, and if you like what you see,
and/or are interested in joining the group as a member or a supporting
site, do not hesititate to contact the group on a major Headquarter
board.  As a final word to all art groups out there, "Remember, we are
here to express through pictures the artistic endeavours of the extremely
skilled for which words can not rightly justify."
