Dr. Henry Janzen was born in Russia of Dutch-Mennonite par entage and lived there for 20 years through a revolution, a civil war, a famine and pestilence. Reticent About Past He is vei*y reticent about speaking of the past. “I have no pity for those immigrants from the old country who constantly live in the past. All that is passed is done with, and we must live in the present,” Dr. Janzen said. But some of his hardships in Russia did come to light.

Samuel Wyand, assistant to the president. "The administration is defi nitely in favor of a Student Union’ building,” Mr. Wyand said at a meeting, “but shortages of labor, materials and money make it dif ficult to carry plans into effect immediately. “There are three methods of ob taining money for new college building,” he said. “We raise funds through state appropriation, by floating a bond on a self-liqui dating building such as dormi tories and dining commons, and by gifts and bequests from the alumni.” . “The third method is the only practical way for the Student Union to obtain money,” he con tinued. “It would be necessary to lay a blank check before the con tractors to start building now and this is not possible by this method.” Representatives of 30 organiza tions attending the meeting de cided on continuing work on the project as far as possible so that details will be taken care of when construction can begin. _ Five architecture students were prseented with one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s books as awards for their work on tli e Student Union project recently on display at the Athletic Store.
