Page 4 Needles in the Haystack ; By Louise McDill. "Let's go to the Dell for a coke" is now a common saying among "Aggie" students all over the campus. Everyone feels at home as much as a farmer in his dell at the Ag Union. Every one knows how much fun it is to sit and talk over the day's as signments or the weekend's ac tivities over a coke or a crib in the Union It is part of our life at Ag college. But surprising it is to the new members of our campus (and memory provoking to the old timers) to know that the Union is a new addition to Ag campus. Only a year ago this month the Ag Union made its formal debut. The story of the long struggle to get a Union on this campus and to get it started is one of many obstacles and slow progress. For many years, Ag students had felt the need for a Union other than the one downtown. Numerous individuals and organ izations tried to secure i permis sion to have a Union located right on Ag campus. Finally after a student petition with almost every Ag student's name on it was sub mitted, approval came. Then arose the problem of construction; materials, labor, and equipment were all scarce in those post-war days. The Union committee decided to utilize the basement of the College Activities rAiilding instead of erecting a separate new building. The re modeling job took some time, but at last the Daily Nebraskan broke the story: The Ag Union was ready and Dec. 2, 1947 was marked as the date for the open ing. Excitement was high. The new Union had many accomodations for students. Altho the facilities for the snack room were not com pleted, the Ag Union had a spacious lounge, check rooms, a music room with many fine al . bums, a recreation room com " plete with a juke box and card tables, and three meeting rooms for the organizations that had backed the Union proposal. The Union opened with three people there: four waiters and a cashier. Eventually a few stu dents wandered in, mostly out of curiosity. The opening was a flop. Student patronization did not im prove much the first few weeks, either, and the Union went into debt. Then when the snack room opened, another greatly publicized opening was planned. A contest for the naming of the new snack room was held which helped pro mote interest in the new Union.
