Former Students Assured

For Reunions.
By Warren Hammel.
! "Students visiting; the Student
i Union for tlic fi'st time will be
amazed at the amount of furnish
' inps and fixtures that the build
v ing required," states Ray Ram
sav. secretary of the Alumni As-
sooiation of the university.
Response to the campaign caY
ried on by the Alumni Associa-
tion has been "for the. most part,
gratifying;," said Mr. Ramsay. "Lo
' eal campaigns in various towns in
Nebraska and in metropolitan cen
ters of other states arc still be
; ing carried on."
; Worldwide Donations.
.1 Contributions tor the alumni
,i fund have come from all over the
world. From the small republic of
Latvia located near Russia, and
tone of several small republics cre
ated as a result ot the World war,
' came a donation of $")0. The Rift
was from the president of Latvia,
J Mr. Karl Ulmanir!, an alumnus of
the University of Nebraska of the
class of 1009. Somehow he had
learned of the Union and was anx
t ions to do his part.
i A S250 check on a bank in Los
Angeles was received one day by
the alumni office. The envelope
i i contained nothing but the check.
1 j "From the signature, on the
I check," said Mr. Ramsay, "we lo
j cated the name in the alumni files,
i the individual having attended the
university for two years nearly 30
years ago. The orfice files showed
a London residence and there was
nothing to indicate any previous
correspondence or interest in the
university. We htd to write to the
bank in order to get the proper
address so that we could acknowl
edge the check and express grati
tude." Campaign Started September.
Furnishings to be supplied by
subscription of the alumni have
been conservatively estimated at
I $7.000. The intensive campaign
? r..T,r1a nv tVA f iiriicViincr rtf tViA
Union began in September, 1937.
Two letters have been sent to the
alumni telling them of the purpose
and plan of the Union. "In spite
of these appeals, there is a large
amount that remains to be raised,"
said Mr. Ramsay.
The secretary nf the Alumni As
sociation pointed out the benefits

that the alumni will receive from
the new Union. On the second floor
of the building will be located the
Alumni office. The building will be
the headquarters for alumni func
tions and gatherings. "It will be
the meeting place for groups going
to football games," stated Mr
Ramsa.y "Two-thirds of the
alumni have no place to go when
they return to the campus. They
did not belong to fraternities or
sororities when they were in
school, so thry are virtual
strangers when they return in
later years. The Union will tak.;
care of that too. '
Bigger, Better Reunions. .
The alumni had declared that
plans are under way to make fu
ture reunions bigsrer and better be
cause "at last, there will be a
place to hold thorn." The Student
Union will provide a lounge for
those hours of re&ting and visiting
with former classmates and will
have a fine cafeteria for the gen
eral use of alumni when there are
no formal alumni functions. The
Union will serve as "club for the
returning alumnus." ,
Regarding the campaign for
funds for the St-ident Union, Mr.
Ramsay said, "It is seldom that
Nebraska's 45.000 alumni are
asked for anything, but occasion
ally such a time does come, and
that is the case at present. It is
not easy to solicit people for
money even when it is for h
worthy cause. The Student Union
does not have the dramatic appeal
possessed by an athletic stadium.
Certainly it can never make it
possible lo ckfeat Minnesota in
football. The Union is an idea just
as much as it is a place. Thnugti
difficult to dramatize it is none
the less potent in its effect upon
the welfare of the student body."
Last Drive: Stadium.
The last campaign conducted by
the Alumni Association was for
the Nebraska Memorial Stadium in
1925. Some of the tasks confront
ing the alumni in the present cam
paign for funds can be gathered
from the tremendous amount of
furnishings that are needed to
equip the new building. The first
floor lounge required considerable
furniture so that it could be given
an inviting and restful tone. The
cafeteria on the same floor, with
a seating capacity of 200, required
cafeteria serving equipment to
gether with tables, ehpirs and
dishes. The Fountain Room, scal
ing about 100, required the pur
chase of tables, chairs, dishes, sil
verware and a soda fountain ca
pable of serving that many people.
The browsing library is to be fur
nished with book3 by alumni sub
scription. Genuineness of Alumni.
The Great Hail on the second
floor requir?d s00 folding chairs
to be put in use when Ihe room
I was used as an auditorium or large
'dining room.. Lounges and office
I rooms on the second and third
j floors are also to be furnished with
furniture and rme are to have
j kitchen service.
Although several rooms in the
building will lack complete fur
nishings on the opening date, Mr.
Ramsay expressed the hope that
,the Union would lie completely fur
nished. In the niar future. Stated
'the alumni head, "I believe firmly
in the genuinom ss of Nebraska's
; alumni and their ability to do bij
things."

The coronation of the trailing,
green ivy plant which has been the
object of this week's comment all
over the campus, will be one of the

unassuming little vine will once
