S8Bn&~ i ' 1 Dr. Harbeson's Statement: “For the time being it will be necessary to postpone the building of our new Student Union. This has been occasi¬ oned by circumstances en¬ tirely outside of the control of the Board of Education. When the project was first contemplated, the Board set aside $100,000 for this pur¬ pose. To this amount the stu¬ dents were to add an addi¬ tional $30,000. Since the closing of school last year, however, building costs have risen at a terrific rate, and the lowest possible bid on a building which a few months ago could have been con¬ structed for $130,000 is now in excess of $200,000. More¬ or-v. over, building materials, par¬ ticularly steel, are not avail¬ able at any price. “Under these circumstances, I am sure that every stu¬ dent will understand the de¬ lay in getting the Student Union under way, and will await patiently the day when a more favorable national and international situation will make possible the availability of building supplies.” John W. Harbeson.

Partial solution comes on “Pal Day,” the last Sunday before registration. At the beginning of each se¬ mester freshmen and entering juniors are assigned to older students, “Pals”, who conduct them on a detailed tour of the campus, discuss student activi¬ ties, and provide an insight on college life. Touring the East Campus they locate the Student Union, Cafe¬ teria, Gymnasiums, Science and Technology buildings, plus the all important Administration building. At 2:30 p.m. they mi¬ grate to West Campus for a re¬ peat tour and Vesper services. ENGINEERS Night class in Mechanism 73 will start at 7 p.m., Tuesday, September 23, in 216C.
