Che realization of a dream of the late 'President Lotus Delta Coffman and offlciallg christened bg the Class of 1944 at their matriculation as freshmen, Coffman memorial Union was one of the newest miracles of college life. with its towering main lounge, 14,000 square feet of main ballroom, artistic color schemes, and luxurious furniture, the Union became the central Point around which the recreational life of students revolved. Ular changed the Cerrace Cafe into a reading room, the Grille into a cafeteria, and the third floor into a mess hall for the Air Corps. fl-lundreds of servicemen mingled with students in the lounges, howling allegs, and at dances. In an average dag, the Union entertained 6,000 civilians, 4,000 soldiers, and 500 sailors. 1 If PY' I' If' , AN - S 'i '- L5fQQTffff54f l : 'Nxt , M-vm' '-'11-qcLf : t ,V l ' c X' qi f::'a-iS'b.,,..,4: iv Q4Q',Lz:Q'.gjL'Z. -U li-fi,-xxx : -M . f - Firm---4 ' 1 Q 'Me ' . ,1:4:,'a- 1 . - it C, K ..w....,.,s,..,....,.q...,.m,m- ,V i W T aft: nqut D-ml: wwf-mm r-1?PioirllXl bIT5f4l': rm- W ML 4 liawrlilll , gf: K. ei.a3l3'ww ,frf-,ifikl-' Y i UH l , fIi!'f!'i.'
