Dear Students: We are writing to you today to give you as well as we can, the information you have been request in? on the present state of the plans for the pro posed a? campus branch of the Student Union. At present the whole matter of where the Union will be located and when it will be opened is indefinite, due to reasons which we will explain later. We feel, however, that you have a right to know what is being done and to have the answers to those ques tions which you ! lave been asking. About three years ago a group of ag students went to the Union board and asked for a Union extension on the ag campus. The board recognized the need of such an ag recreation center and also acknowledged that ag students have less oppor tunity to get their rnoney's worth from their se mester' 4 $3 Union fee than do city campus stu dents. At that time," however, it , was impossible for the board to finance an extension. Later the ag faculty offered to pay to have about half of the basement of the new foods and nu trition building excavated for use as a Union. The Board of Regents agreed to dig out the basement but no one notified the Union board of the action. About a year ago last fall the Union board was told that there was a space in the basement of the foods and nutrition building for their use. The Union then negotiated a $20,000 loan from the Board of Regents and prepared plans for the even tual equipping of the space. Upon investigation, the Board found that if the ag union is put into the foods building basement it will be badly cramped for room. The greater part of the $20,000 will have to be spent for floors, ceiling, and heating and ventilating systems. There will be no natural light. There will also be a dis advantage in having it located in the same build ing in which classes are constantly in session. The board feels that it is logical that there will be con flicts if two such opposite programs are carried on in such close proximity at the same time. In trying to find a more desirable location, the i Board made requests for the use of the lower floor of the College Activities building. This location of fers 900 more square feet of space than does the foods and nutritions building, has natural light, is already adjacent to rest and check rooms, requires no outlay for heating or ventilation, floors or ceiling and is in the same building in which all ag campus parties and dances are held. Objections to such use of the lower floor of the activities building are based on its use at intervals during the year for meetings of the state extension service, 4-II club and other groups and the fact that it would necessitate some juggling of phys ed class schedules. Opposition to this suggestion has bogged the project down until nothing is being done. The Union Board has shown itself reluctant to put such an amount of money into what they consider in adequate quarters in the basement of the foods building. The most recent suggestion has been that of a faculty member that an effort be made to secure the entire building known as the old home ec an nex for the ag union. This would mean that the meat cutting lab and the chemurgy project would have to have other quarters on an already crowded campus. It would require a great deal more money for renovating the building if the structure were judged worthy of the expenditure. It would, how ever, provide, more spacious quarters and greater isolation from other activities and programs than would either of the other two suggested spots. Right now the whole project is standing still, and has been in that condition for about two weeks. No one seems willing to take the responsibility of the next steps, or perhaps no one knows what the next step should be. One of the main questions of the moment is in regard to who has the authority to allot space for a Union. Must it go to the Re gent's or can it come from the administration? Of ficials have failed to reach a standing agreement on this. The students want recreational facilities as soon as possible. The faculty also feels that there is need for such arrangements. The Union board is willing to provide, insofar as is possible, the same facili ties that are offered to city campus students. Briefly, that is the history of the, as yet mythi cal, ag union. At present things are at a muddled standstill. It is up to the students to decide what they want and for them to see that some group or individual tries to bring about those results as soon as possible. JhsL (hk.

They'd called out the riot squad to keep the mob of admirers from dashing themselves to dust under the train, When a switch-engine came in without its usual accom paniment of freight cars, we murmured among ourselves, "Mooloo must have shown the train crew how sharp her new teeth were, and bitten right thru the coupling." When No. five came puffing to a halt near the ice-carts, we said we just knew she wouldn't be on that train, cause it didn't have a club-car. We were wrong, tho, there she was, albeit a bit travel-stained, standing like Pocohantas on the cow-catcher. The train-master seemed a bit perturbed, but how was she to know, poor little Mooloo, that it wasn't the Santa Fe "Chief?" Not everyone enrolled in the university was in the Union ballroom yesterday afternoon. A few of them were home in bed with the flu. Biggest thrill for one young re- porter came after his lordship's talk, when she spoke with him. From a height of 5 feet 3, she's accustomed to gazing upward into male eyes, but it was a great shock, after months of college life, to find intelligent eyes beaming down at her. Mi Yen rang for me?
