The impressive ground-breaking ceremonies were held Saturday, July 3, when the Durant Chamber of Commerce, the regents of the state colleges, state college administrators, and other citizens gathered to celebrate the occasion. Dr. Montgomery, Southeastern “building president,” declared at that time, “The light that falls on the Southeastern State College campus still comes from a rising sun that is far from its zenith.” The student union, when completed in Aug- ust, will have a student union office, alumni as- sociation office, ball room with dressing rooms and stage, book store, coffee shop, closets, of- fices for the deans of men and women, foyer, ladies’ lounge, post office, reception room, stor- age rooms, and vestibule. The dormitory, providing rooms and dining accommodations for 330 women students, will have, among other rooms, dining rooms, study- bedrooms, rest rooms, post office, living room, telephone booths, terraces, halls, vestibules, elab- orate food handling facilities, hair dressing rooms, cleaning and pressing rooms, and storage rooms. The home economics building, approved by the regents, is being constructed between the li- brary and the science hall, and is scheduled to be completed by November 1, 1949. The two-story brick structure, 58-86 feet in dimensions, will contain all modern equipment for teaching of home economics, including foods, clothing, and textile laboratories. Albert Ross, Ada, is the architect for both the student union-women’s dormitory and the home economics hall. ; New Home Economics Building Page 9

New Dormitory and Student Union All during World War II, while South- eastern State College was putting forth every effort to help win the war, Dr. T. T. Montgomery, when he was not performing his many duties as president of the college, dreamed of a large women's dormitory and a student union for Southeastern in the postwar era. In 1948 the state board of regents of Oklahoma Colleges decided to let him have a student union-women's dormitory after they had received the approval of Governor Roy J. Turner. The regents are A. L. Graham, Broken Arrow, chairman; John 0. Fisher, Marlow, vice-chairman; W. T. Doyel, Oklahoma City, executive secretary; S. C. Boswell, Ada; Bert H. Brundage, Thomas; P. L. Clifton, Enid; Mrs. Maurine Fite, Muskogee; Dr. Oliver Hodge, Oklahoma City; Dr. James S. Petty, Guthrie; and Rector H. Swearen- gin, Durant. Page 8
