Clubs, dinners, informal parties, mixers, sorority and fraternity acti ities. and formal dances are held in the ballroom and club rooms of the Lnion. The first and fourth floors, prenously unused, have been converted into living quarters for some of the many men who have returned to campus from the wars. Acquaintances are made over cokes and coffee obtained in the grill between classes.
