The Wyoming Union is managed by a joint commit- tee of students and faculty. The character of its service and its rules of government were evolved by common consent and agreement, the whole system of student gov- ernment having been organized to provide a sound plan of financing. Present organization, centering around the Student Senate, is proving highly successful. Burton Deloney, Union manager, checks a supply order by telephone while formulating plans for the huge birthday party held each year. The Union building, constructed of native stone, is the showplace of the campus. The Union, in an expanding program of service to the Uni- versity community, has spon- sored Twilight Hours on Sun- day afternoons featuring musi- cal programs, historical movies and similar cultural items; Cof- fee hours on Thursday after- noons with book reviews and roundtable discussions on topics of campus and national interest, and has aided in orientation with the annual freshmen bean feed.

The student lounge, comfortably furnished, is a campus meeting place. Here students play bridge, study, or take it easy between classes. Since its completion in March, 1939, the Wyoming Union has been the headquarters for wide and varied extra-curricular and social life. The beautiful building is regarded as one of the finest college unions in the country. The building ' s facilities include spacious lounges for students and faculty, committee rooms, space for all stu- dent offices, the University post office, and recreation rooms.

The beautiful ballroom is used not only for student and faculty dancing parties, but also for small recitals, chamber music and special meetings. The Union has cpme to serve as headquarters for nearly all campus convention guests and other Univers- ity visitors. The unanimous opinion today is How did we ever set along without it?
