At all the. buildings, reported Chancellor K. A. Burnett, the ma jor social functions were held in large ballrooms or great halls. In all buildings they found the ma r portion of the space so de signed as to be doing double and triple duty at all times. The com mittee found that union buildings must le designed around ample dining room facilities. At Iowa, for instance, where the original plans did not call for dining ball facilities in the first building, it whs necessary to shift large areas to provide for kitchens, cafeterias, dining rooms and fountain space.
