PAG* TWO Remember, It's Temporary! The opening today of a former USO building, with a new coat of paint, under the catchy name of TUB (Tempor ary Union Building) is a milestone in the College’s attempt to improve the lot of the students. George Donovan, man ager of the TUB, has assured us that while there will be some inconveniences due to the early opening, the Union will be completely finished in about two weeks. Several items which may lead to early griping are the sandwiches, which are being furnished by a State College merchant at prevailing prices, and a nickel-hungry jukebox in the ballroom. Again, Donovan assures us that these are just temporary measures and that facilities are being rushed to completion for sandwich making on the premises. This should mean lower prices for better sandwiches. Also, a pub lie address system is being installed which will soon take the place of the jukebox. For years the major need of the student body has been a permanent student union comparable to unions which exist on almost every other campus in the country. Campaigns have been carried on every semester by student committees which have done much work towards the final goal—a stu dent onion which will take care of sorely-needed dining rooms, ballrooms, offices, committee rooms, bowling alleys, music rooms, browsing libraries, art exhibits, lectures, con certs, lounges, recreation, workshops, checkrooms, informal education facilities, and a cooperative book store. Just before the new Old Main was built, it was decided that it would be mainly a student union with provision for a few administrative offices. Part of the money was collected for Old Main under the assumption that it would be used as a student union. Through the years, however, administrative needs have increased and student facilities have slowly liminished. Last year after an intensive student campaign, late resident Hetzel appointed a committee headed by Samuel Hostetter to investigate facilities at other unions and in ade appropriate ones in a proposed $4,000,000 union on mpus. All-College Cabinet appointed a student committee advise the president’s committee on student needs. The TUB is and must always be considered merely a op-gap. The fight to build a permanent union building must >e continued with renewed vigor. CAMPUS CALENDAR Tuesday. February 17 PAN—HELLENIC Council, 410 d Main, 7:30 pjm.
