Show After almost a decade since the plan originated, the University of Utah Union Bunlding has become a reality. The building, costing nearly $400,000 is the result of imagination, organization and tenacity ten-acity of purpose on the part of tiie several thousand students, alumni and friends of the University who have contributed time and money to the undertaking. This is the largest gift ever made to the university and is being furnished and equipped without the expenditure of a single dollar of tax money. The contributions ranged from one dollar to $10,000. Heretofore only those students who were affiliated with one of the Greek letter fraternal organizations organiza-tions had the advantage of a social gathering place. The new Union Building provides for the social requirements of every student. The three-story structure contains men's and women's lounges, gaming gam-ing rooms, spacious offices for all student -officials, a large ballroom, committee meeting rooms, barber shop and beauty salon as well as the school cafeteria. The student chapter of the American Society of Electrical Engineers En-gineers installed a floodlight system sys-tem for the first social function which was given in honor of tho students of the Utah State College Thanksgiving night. |
