LI V 4C V The “Union” is just what the name implies. For no student on the campus has not made use of its facilities, even if it was only to stand in a book line or wait in line to have his picture made for the Razorback. The Futrall Memorial Union is just about the first building on campus with which a new student becomes familiar. For it is there that he goes to the president’s reception and the Freshman Mixer for all students — both new and old. Then he finds that the fountain room is the best spot on campus for indoctrinating himself with Arkansas college life. Construction of an addition to the Union was begun this fall. The addi¬ tion, built eastward from the present kitchen, will provide food facilities, a new basement, a modern kitchen, and a large dining room. So, whether it’s for a coke, a meet¬ ing, or a conference — see you in the Union! What’s a two-letter word for an extinct Mexican reindeer? Page 25

“I overslept and couldn’t make it to the Union at 9. I’ll cut my 10 o’clock and meet you there.” The fountain room of the Student Union, where at some time or other, everyone sees everyone, is a happy confusion of coffee lines, bridge games, table-hoppers, and blaring renditions from the juke-box. From 9 to 11, 2 until 5, it’s the place to see and be seen, grab a late breakfast or a hurried lunch, or just sit and talk. The RAZORBACK photographer is caught catching a subject. The student buys his school supplies in the bookstore, mails letters at the post office, or wanders into the lounge to read the home town paper. Later on, he finds that the Union serves other purposes, too. For, when he becomes a member of various organ¬ izations, he finds that most of them hold their regular meetings in the Union. And he will soon have occa¬ sion to learn that the personnel office, home of the offices of the dean of women and dean of men, is just across the hall from the lounge. Page 24

Its over-all functions are super¬ vised by Mrs. Earle Lawrence and the Student Union Board. The Board, whose 1950-51 chair¬ man was Barbara Wood, acts as the co-ordinator for the maintenance, budget, upkeep, and program of the entire Union. Its members formulate all Union policy and are in charge of all procedures and regulations. It is composed of six students and four faculty mem¬ bers. The Central Planning Committee, headed by Bob McKinney, has a membership composed of the co-chairmen of each of the eight Student Union Committees: art, cinema, publicity, office manage¬ ment, special projects, photography, dance, and game. It evaluates and sets up programs concern¬ ing activities of the various committees. A small book of threes, please. Miss Chenault checks the cook ' s creation before the lunch-hour rush. Page 26
