Approximately 6,000 students, faculty members and friends of the college daily visited the new Student Union building which was opened October 27. The Student Union, built at a cost of S2,500,000, provides the living room on campus for the student body. The Art Gallery also served as an impressive entrance to the Spanish Dining Room, which seats 64 patrons, and carries out the Spanish theme in its furnishings which in- clude: high-backed chairs of dark wood covered with black leather and studded with ornamental brass and imported from Spaing tables for four which are of a wood grain design, and a large hand-carved breakfront and service-chest imported from Mexico. The walls are covered with dark beechwood paneling and the electric-eye doors opening into the ultra- modern kitchen are also covered with black leather and stud- ded with brass. Small brass chandeliers designed in Mexico hang from the ceiling of the Spanish room. Guests enter and leave via a 12-foot wrought iron gate. One of the most popular rooms used by the students was the Snack Bar with seating capacity of 400. The gaily decor- ated Snack Bar features several booths in the traditional purple color and several tables and chairs scattered through- out the dining area.

The center was put into use for registration purposes for the first time this past summer. While in the Kirk Building, many students took advantage of the health services available at the stu- dent clinic on the main floor.
