It is believed that the Regents
will give their final approval of
the union building proposal which
has been before student eyes since
early last spring at the board's
meeting Jan. 11. With official

The proposed structure would
contain two ballrooms, lounges, a
restaurant and offices for all pub

ture would be paid for by student

eral loan which would be paid
back by a student tax not to ex

Success
of the enterprise ls
