Hemenway Hall, the student union building, was erected in 1938-39 to provide a center for non-academic activities intended for the enrich- ment and deepening of the personal relationships among students, faculty, and alumni. When it was officially opened in March, 1939, it was called the University of Hawaii Union Building. The follow- ing year, the Board of Regents named it Hemenway Hall in honor of the University ' s life-long friend, Mr. Charles Reed Hemenway. Following the war, however, with the return of normal student activities to an expanding campus, and an increased student body, a plan providing for more student participation in the management, supervision, and program planning of the Hall seemed desirable. Early last year. President Sinclair appointed a ten-man committee to examine the present situation, investigate our local needs, study procedures employed elsewhere, and recommend a plan directed toward the more effective use of Hemenway Hall. The committee headed by Dean Bruce White included Dr. Allan F. Saunders, Miss Barbara Clark, Col. George Honnen, Miss Elsa Peacock, James Tani, Gordon Lee, Helen Geracimos, Kenneth Char, and Evelyn Tara, who prepared, within two months ' time, a constitution which provided for the establishment of the Hemenway Hall Board of Governors. The constitution was approved by the ASUH Council in June, and by the Board of Regents later in the summer. Left to right, first row: Charles Davis, Mendel Borth- wick.

Delegates to tiie convention were nominated early in March. Campaign rallies were held. Elec- tion took place on March 12. The downtown newspapers carried accounts of the progress from time to time. The territory ' s delegate to Congress, Joseph Farrington, wrote a letter of commendation to the University. Citizens in the community at large complimented the ASUH on the project dubbed by some stutlcnts, Operation Anticipation. Ka Palapala intended to cover the whole process but due to the printers deadline, March 15, it had
