Our Very Own cee STUDENT UNION... CENTRALIZED MECCA FOR ACTIVE IDAHO STUDENT MEMBERSHIP Completing its first full year of service, the ldaho Student Union has become the center of student campus activities. Here also is the home of Idaho's traditional Blue Bucket, which serves as a meeting place and cafeteria for students and faculty, and where the customary between-classes cup of coffee is enjoyed. The tables in the Bucket also serve the chess and bridge addicts. The first floor of the Union contains the offices of the Student Union Manager, the ASUI General Man- ager, and of The Argonaut, school newspaper—also two private dining rooms and the student-owned bookstore. On the second floor there are three large, modern ballrooms, where Idaho's all-campus dances and func- tions are held, a small, well-equipped theatre and the Dipper, a coke and dance room. On the third and top floor there are several con- ference rooms for the use of the students, the Execu tive Board room, the office of the AWS president, the women students’ lounge, KUOI, the University radio station, a reading and study room, equipped with desks, comfortable chairs and the latest magazines, and the office of The Gem, school yearbook. Downstairs from the main lobby is the game room. Here in spare moments the students may play pool, snooker or bowl on one of the eight up-to-date alleys. The recently finished Student Union Building, which cost over $650,000, was paid for, is maintained by, and administered by the Associated Students of the University of Idaho, for the use, benefit and enjoy- ment of the student body,
