Just ask Allen H. Bennett,
director, who has a chart
showing where 11,300,000 went
for construction costs and how
$242,000 paid for all the neces
sary "extras."
These "extras," Bennett
says, include $9,000 for pre
liminary administrative costs;
$50,150 for renovation of the
old Union; $152,500 far sew
equipment and $7,500 for re
novation of existing equip

from elevator doors to china
cups, includes:
The new passenger elevator

ment came to nearly 170.000
Included in this are five new
electrically heated portable
iooa carts totaling $5,500.
Cash registers were no
small item, according to Ben
nett, wno said six new ones
cost $12,000. Two old registers
are also still in use.
Furnishings in the main
lounge, including carpet,
draperies, lamps, and tables
totaled $16,000. The organ
at the north end is a transfer
from the old Union.
Bowling Major Cost
Bennett said furnishings for
the entire new addition came
to $S0,0OO.
Bowlers might like to know
they'll be working out on
$114,165 alleys.
Twelve billiard tables alone
came to $2,500 and balls, cues,

Expensive Music
For privacy's sake, $2,000
was spent for room dividers
to be used in the Student
Organization Center on third
floor.
Music service in the new
Union, in addition to the in
tercom system, cost $12,000 to
install.
Paving the parking lot to
the east of the Union cost a
total of $4,53, Bennett said,
but this cost has been as
sumed by the University,
since it will receive the In

Bennett's shopping list, con
tinuing for pages, shows many
other interesting items, not
the least of these being the
china. Bill for this was $4,856,
he said.
Operating Costs Double
Bennett says operation costs
for the entire Union will doa
ble with the new addition.
Costs before ran about $65,000
yearly.
Bennett pointed out that
construction costs for the
new Union are being financed
by a 1955 bond issue set at
$1,300,000 through the Univer
sity Administration.
The bond issue Is being re
paid by $11 fees paid by each
student at the beginning ef
each semester.
Bennett says the $11 Is di
