ROGER GREEN, as manager ofthe union, was a vital force in maintaining the facilities of the union at a level beneficial to students and faculty. 24 s i Plans For Union Addition OK'd By Board Of Regents The l965-l966 school year was a significant one for the Memorial Student Union as plans for an addition, costing in excess of halt a million dollars, were approved by the Board of Regents. This new area will be devoted to providing more student office space, conference and meeting rooms, and recrea- tional facilities. These should serve somewhat to meet the need for space that has been a problem on the Teachers College's booming campus. The Union, managed by Roger Green, serves both as a center of social activity on campus, and a cultural and artis- tic showcase. The Hornets Nest, with its snack bar, is one of the most popular places on campus as thousands of students pass through daily. KEITH TEDROW, Assistant Manager of the Union, worked closely with Roger Green in an effort to keep the union functioning smoothly.
