We are planning to equip the lobby, two meeting rooms, and several recreational rooms for the use of the entire student body. It is hoped that we can provide space for dating, dances, parties, receptions, et cetera. CONTRIBUTIONS ASKED Since it is you who will derive the greatest benefit from the Student Union Building, we are asking for con tributions from all the campus organi zations first. We want to be able to tell the Alumni and friends of the Uni versity when they are approached that he student body has contributed 100%. No contribution can be too small.
