We also consider ourselves an instru ment of social educa tion". Lake said the new Union would fulfill these purposes better than ever next year because "we can now enter in every segment of campus activities." "The Union is the one thing ' ' , ual Facilnes "To organized houses w e can oner lacurues ana serv - ices that are on a par if not exceeding those offered b y other places." Union The opening of the neu fall will climax plans that go 4'way back when" and became reality three years ago when a "blanket bond issue" provided the money for expansion. The additions have been in design and con- structio stages for about a year and a half. The completion 'of the addi tion does not end the future expansion of the Union. Lake said that the present new structure was designed to support two more floors, one of which will be gigantic ballroom. Expanded student organiza tion facilities will someday be added and the bookstore moved into the Union. Under consideration is the blacktop ping of the parking area east of the Union. Lake said that when the Union opens next fall it will offer 100 per cent more in services to the student, fac ulty and visitors.
