I ' .r Scott H. Goodnight Dean of Mtrn F. Louise Nardis Dean of U ' om n Deans of Men and Women )lTH the appearance ot the Badger of 1929. we are n.iking ready to take possession ot our new Home tor Wisconsin Spirit, the Memorial Union Building. What is it going to mean for us ' The hopes, the good will, and the hard dollars of thousands ot alumni and of present and former students are cemented into its walls. The most careful plan- ning of program committees and the utmost cunning of archi- tects and decorators have been combined to create a building of the greatest possible utility, as well as of great beauty. It is to house commodiously and adequately that grotesque hurdy-gurdy known as the acti% ' ities, but its chief function, as most of us view it, is to serve as the great student center, the melting pot, the distributing plant for the major currents of thought and influence which now so often expend themselves in futile attempts at effective propaganda and fail in their purpose. Radiated from the Union as a center, they can become dynamic and transmuted into action, provided the students will rally to the support of their own interests. Will they? Will all students, regardless ot class, affiliation, or financial status, flock into the Union, make their presence felt and their votes count, and give on all questions of public interest a clear and unequivocal e xpression of student opinion ' Will they make of the new building a common meeting ground for all elements of the student body, as well as a place in which students, alumni, and faculty members may rub elbows and discuss matters of mutual concern, free from the artificial barriers imposed by the class room relationship and the alum status of the fraternity house. ' ' Will the management of the Union bend every effort toward placing all facilities of the Union within reach of every student and guard scrupulously against measures which will tend to make it a rich man ' s club ' Every student pays fees for the support of the Union. Every student has a right there. Will every student go there and play his part ' Upon the answer of these questions depends the success or failure of our Home for Wisconsin Spirit. Wisconsin students will henceforth have an opportunity to show that they have a spirit worthy of the magnificent home that has been created for it. TjD ECENTLY an American of fifty said, Not a boy in the - - middle-western town where I was a boy expected to live in that town when he grew up. That expectation of change and far journeys and dwelling under strange skies still characterizes young Americans. Yet we keep, too, the pleasure of finding a familiar face or even a stranger who shares some of our memories. To be a graduate ot Wisconsin is to have in every land, in every port, such a familiar face or a person who has known, with fondness, people and places that you of 1928 have known with pleasure. Every once in a while some alumna WTites back and says, I didn ' t buy a senior ring w ' hen 1 was in college. How can I get one now? Probably she is buying because she has found the pleasure of recognizing a Wisconsin woman by this familiar sign. May Wisconsin give you many such happy encounters, where, remembering together, you shall drink again the wine of youth. SOL ck , c f0.. 9 A. 1141
