Xo.io E A ST LANSING, MICHIGAN F E B. 18, 1924 SOME FURTHER AIMS OF THE UNION Organization Plans to Become Factor in Intellectual Development of the Student Conceived as an organization to en courage debating the college Union has grown within the past twenty-five years to a point where it embraces all of the gen eral activities of college and university stu dents. Early in the nineteenth century it was started in England, it soon branched out to include social entertainment of vis iting debaters and later became a social center for the entire student body with for all facilities and equipment dining sorts of diversion recognized as desirable for the members of a college community. It has developed in many institutions so that it supervises certain extra-curricular activities not generally conducted by the college authorities. Some of It is with the ideal of supplying certain needs that the Union Memorial building is them a re being constructed. more pressing than others. Some of the uses to which the building will be put have not as yet been found to be necessi features ties in college life, just as many now recognized as important were ignored a few years ago. It is necessary that the students be given an opportunity to mingle on a common basis in a suitably conducted place for recreation and amusement. It is necessary that provisions be made on or near the campus where guests of the col lege and the students may be entertained. It has also become a recognized need that activities of the student body be organized under one general head so that they may be carried on to the best advantage. discussion groups fostered by the various activities of departments, general social the college and to provide, insofar as it can, certain of the physical needs of the college community on a cost basis. this end there will be reading and To lounging rooms both for men and for women. There will be the big concourse and lobby for a general meeting place, rooms of different sizes for group meetings office lunch service when desired, with space for student publications and organi for dances, zations, the assembly smokers, plays, band concerts, talks and entertainments of various sorts. The lunch eon group idea, so popular in cities, can become a reality for the teacher w ho is working closely with his students. In its functions as viewed now the Union Me the morial building will draw elements composing campus life in such a way as to solidify sentiment and make for united effort. together room As it will definitely contribute, to the physical equipment of the campus, it will as surely contribute to the intellectual and social welfare of the students. Mixing, on an equal basis with members of the faculty as well as with his fellow student, will arm the M. A. C. graduate with a new weapon in his battle after commencement. foster It is planned general discussions of questions of interest as well as aiding in bringing together t he expert in his line and those who a re in terested in that work. that the Union will All of these things the Union cannot ac complish in full from the start but it will lines as space and develop along those equipment permits.

On the alumni side of the question it is also a matter of bene fitting then his alma mater. Through providing a place for the visitor to stay, enjoy the facilities and meet his friends the Union will draw the graduate closer to his College, keep him in- touch with her progress and pro vide him with a contact with the refresh ing ideas of the undergraduate. individual first and in in the The dramatic club presented " O ne Night Only" the H o me little theater Economics building on February 14.

G. Christ- man company of Lansing will erect the Union Memorial building or will have under its supervision the erection of such parts as it will not undertake itself. First among the points the agree ment between the Union and the builder is the provision stopping work when funds are not available without penalty to the Union. Another is that all purchases of material are first approved by the build ing committee before they are executed. Another is that a flat fee for overhead cost, and supervision, purchasing organization other items entering into the organization is being charged a contractor must have and the structure will be the actual cost of the work and ma terials. The contract provides for the pay ment of net costs in all cases. the cost of the rest of The Christman company is somewhat in terested in the building in that sixty per its' engineers are M. A. C. men cent of although the Lansing office, through which the work will be carried out, boasts of but one former student, W. J. Dodge. Theo the presi dora Christman, a daughter of dent of the company, was for two years a student at the college. The advantages offered by the purchas the company have already ing power of resulted in substantial savings on the build the ing cost over the current prices and building being quasi-public is also favored by some supply dealers over one purely private. Buying materials dur ing the dull season in the building industry has also served to aid the committee in ob taining reduced prices. in nature Truth in advertising is a most laudable aim but the taxicab company which adver tises "bang up service for the J - H o p" in the Holcad is carrying this idea a trifle to the extreme. The M. A. C. Record Page Five MANY REACHED BY RADIO STATION from Distant Points Basketball Game Story Novel Enough to Draw Replies A coast to coast service seems to be the outlook for the College radio station. After the Michigan basketball game a request was made that those who had heard the returns write to the station telling how the program had been received and offering such suggestions as the receivers believed would improve the operation of the equip ment. As a result M. M. Cory, of the electrical engineering department, has a stack of postcards and letters the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, from Alberta, Canada and from Nebraska and Iowa as western points. This is only an indication of the range of the station. Replies of this sort constitute only a small per cent of the number of sets which receive the programs. from Broadcasting a play by play story of a basketball game is apparently a novel oc currence for many of the senders of post cards wrote that it was their first experi ence and complimented the station on the work of the announcer, J. B. Hasselman, director of publications, who told in detail the story of the game. There was also general comment concerning the enthusi asm of the crowd and the playing of the band. Nearly all urged that further games be sent out in a similar manner. Details of athletic games supply but one phase of the broadcasting programs which have been greatly enlarged from the first conception of those who have backed the proposition. Each Wednesday night there is a regular program with speakers from the faculty, College musical and other features. Last week the station was operating on four different nights. Tues against day night Western State normal took up the evening. Wednesday night a band concert and a lecture by a noted disciple of conservation, Thursday night, a program by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Friday night the J- those Hop music gave entertainment the basketball game talent to who have succumbed to the wiles of radio. Dr. Bradley, noted speaker on conser vation, delivered his address in the Prud- den auditorium, Lansing. The speech was relayed to the College station by a private line, amplified and broadcast. telephone Someone in Lansing picked up the speech, attached a loud speaker and, calling the station on the telephone, gave the oper ators a chance to listen in on what they were sending out. The marked success which has attended the efforts of those in charge of WKAR has opened a wide field for the .develop ment of the present processes of extension work and the general spreading of infor- • mation about the College and its work. One of the noteworthy features which should add to the enjoyment of the alumnus pos sessing an instrument or having a friend who wons one will be the alumni program on the evening of March 26. This is be ing arranged so that only alumni will take part. In an early issue of T HE RECORD a com plete description of the station, its equip ment, power and operation will be printed. Kansas Agricultural college has started a radio extension course with credit offered toward a college degree. M. A. C. has not yet reached that stage but the work it can do over the radio has boundless pos sibilities, especially with the equipment it now possesses. represent Some of the time of the freshman class is being spent on aplied mathematics. The members of the class of 1927 are figuring out what it will cost them to endow the Union building fund with a sum sufficient the to project and purchase life memberships for themselves. The officers of the class have formulated a new plan which, if accepted by the class, will set a new mark for fu ture classes and will insure a certain amount to the credit of the Union. their contribution to Page Six The M.
