Union offers numerous activities for KSC students At the center of campus the Memorial Union, featuring chess, pool, checkers, ping pong, and some sparkling conversation. Built in 1957 and remodeled in 1966, the Union contains faculty lounge, snack bar, meeting rooms, information booth and various or- ganizational offices. I he Union offers a variety of activities. Dances, coffee houses, films, and lectures are presented in the ballroom throughout the year. Commuters and off-campus students find the Union as a ref- uge against the elements during the school year. The snack bar provides meals for many of these students. New features added to the Union this year included a new sound system and a display area for art exhibits. A new $1,950,000 union has been proposed. Plans are being stymied awaiting the Supreme Court decision on the legality of financing the building with rev- enue bonds. Hungry students file through the Union’s snack bar for lunch. Students meet their friends to have a coke and hamburger and to discuss the day’s events.
