Student Union Building The breaking of ground for the Student Union Building will take place as part of the colorful 1933 Commencement exercises. It is fitting and proper that such an addition to the Marshall campus should take place at a time when U. S. Senator Bennetr Clark, the son of one of the earlier presidents of the college. James Beauchamp Clark, is to be the Commencement speaker. Work on the new building will begin May 29. and it is expected to be completed by September 1933. The Student Union Association. Incorporated, of which Dr. Morris Purdy Shawkey is president has obtained a ninety-nine year lease on a plot of ground two hundred and twenty ieet by two hundred feet which is commonly referred to as South campus and is located between Kim Street facing College avenue and Gymnasium building. Bonds have been sold to finance the structure. The building will conform with the present type of architecture which is of early Colonial style. Mr. George Sharp. President of the Marshall Alumni, is vice-president of the corporation and Duncan W. Daugherty is Attorney. The history of the Student Union project is a page from the diary oi President Shawkey, who ever has worked faithfully to build a greater Marshall. In the summer of 1931. a group of students and members of the faculty met at the request of Dr. Shawkey and heard him speak glowingly of the desire to see a recreational unit constructed on the campus. As president Shawkey outlined the plan, the building was to be a spot where students and faculty might meet on common ground, where friendships might be made, where restful recreation might be had by students and professors alike. I he unit was to be the hub of campus social life. A year passed. Economic trends seemed to dictate failure to President Shawkey and his little hand of followers continued to plan with an optimism not to be shaken. Finally, a plan of linancing the structure was evolved and bonds were sold. An now, it is entirely fitting that the Student I nion building will begin to take shape, finally to stand as a monument to the spirit of President Shawkey and the student body of Marshall College.
