l l The Desert Staff is proud to dedicate the 1952 yearbook to Clarence L. QStubl Ashcraft in this. the tenth year following his editorship of the student annual. As pioneer Director of the Student Union Memorial Building, Stub has done a superior job of coordinating and admin- istering the multiple activities within the million dollar student center during the past year. His record already is one of long service to the University of Arizona. 1Vhen Stub entered as a Freshman in 1937, he earned a numeral in football. He won varsity letters in 1938 and 19-12. He was awarded membership in Sophos. Chain Gang. and Blue Keyg was business man- ager of the 1940 and 19-11 Deserts. and editor in 19-12. In three of his undergraduate years he was among selections for the college stu- dents 1Vl10's W710. Early in 1942 Stub was called into the Army, and when discharged in 19-16 he had risen from Second Lieutenant to the rank of Major. In 19-17 he became Activities Coordinator and Publications Manager for As- sociated Students. a position for which he was well-fitted by his three years experience on publications. Stub served in this capacity until last May when named to his present position in the Student Union. It is in the position of Director of the Union that Stubs o1'ganization ability and judicious delegation of responsibility and work have been most aptly proved. He has secured the best for the Union and the students who use it. Despite his crowded schedule. he always has time to confer with every student who comes to his office either to praise or to complain. XVe on the 1952 Desert Staff long will remember the fellow down the second Hoof hall as the spirit behind our lux- urious new Student Union. YVe feel that this dedication is a small part only of the gratitude which students of the University of Arizona owe to Stub for his patience and kindness. and his willingness always to go above and beyond the call of normal duty to serve the student body.
