Show Now in its 25th year, Union building facilities will be converted to housing of a University Department or College. MOTION is the watchword in our perspective of the new Union Building - motion forward to create a visual conception into reality. In the dedication of this capacious structure we reveal our appreciation for the progress that it symbolizes. We view the former Union Building with respect, because throughout the years it has success-fully gained recognition as being in the lime-light, the center of spirited campus life. At the present time we see the progressive construction of a new, roomier, and superior building in which not only student, but faculty and alumnus activity shall evolve. In 1947 the dream originated with the student body who voted to assess themselves in order to build a more spacious and conveniently located Union. After the war years a larger crowd attended the University, and the campus expanded considerably with the moving of departments to the upper campus. Thus a lag of interest in student affairs persisted because of the separation of buildings, and the U. of U., as many other great universities during this time, lapsed into a "streetcar campus." |
