MICHIGAN UNION Established in 1907, the Michigan Union has become the center of activity on the campus. It provides in- numerable recreational facilities for Michigan men, in- cluding a large swimming pool, billiards, bowling alleys, library and the favorite Tap Room. Its spacious ball- room affords the right atmosphere for the weekend dances in addition to the many special events through- out the year. The Fall Union Formal is pictured below. Along with these recreational factors, the Union has become a service organization, handling all types of activities such as Red Cross Drives, Infantile Paralysis Drives, selling tickets for lectures. V ' The Board of Directors of the Union is composed of a group of faculty members and six vice-presidents, elected by men students. The Board this year consisted of the following per- sons: Dean J.
