of motion pictures, a cafeteria,
grill, lounging rooms, telephone
boths, private dining rooms, patios,
aH activity and publication offices,
a grand lobby and a grand foyer.
The edifice is of lime-stone, built
in rennaissance style, with a ceil
ing of marble mosaic.
The advisability of building an
activity hall has often been consid
ered, but the financial situation of
the university is such that there
are no immediate prospects of its
realization.
Mr. Cunningham states that
since Marvin has had this oppor
tunity for his imagination and
creative ideals to have full play
his plan will be considered as
merely a class-room project. He
is also working on the plans for a
student union building which
might become a feasible actuality
