4One Objective'
'We have more than one
objective in the role of a Un

ourselves primarily a service
organization and the center
of campus activities. 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."

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.
