The Case For A New
Student Union IV
The great modern fields of
fpecialization, such as Medicine,
Law and Business Administra
tion have become represented
cn the college campus by schools
in those various disciplines, and
this multiplication of Special
fields has resulted in fragmenta
tion of the essential unity which
was formerly to be found in the
student body of the American
university.
Such fragmentation, when
combined with the extreme mo
bility of the student body, and
augmented by the need for ade
quate facilities for the profit
able utilization of leisure time,
has accelerated a growing par
ticularism which has long been
at work within the body of '
American educational thought.
So it is with our own campus.
The days of pleasant, Jefferson
San quietude, the days of a life
refulgent with simplicity have
reluctantly, and with many
a longing glance backwards,
given way to more complex,
sophisticated, and less stable
times. Barring a forced return
to an admittedly glorious, but
now unattainable, past, the great
need of our own day is that of
consolidating and stabilizing
our own position in our time.
While we make no claims
tjsat a Student Union would
prove to be a panacea fof all of
our ills, -we feel that it is the
most suitable, tangible expres
sion f a university's efforts to
a-Jjust and maintain itself in a
time which is distinguished by
Its mutability and in an atmos
phere everywhere charged with
uncertainty. . " -
In previous articles, we have
mentior ed .. the theoretical . as
pects of the Student Union pro
pram. What about the more tan
gible consideration? - -
Such a Student Union pro
gram as we envision, to be rea
lized, would require substanti
ally the following physical faci
lities: ,
1. Meeting space for campus
m conization;.
2. Office sp-ce for publications.
' 3. Student Governmen offices.
4. Informal living room.
5. Reading room (.library).
6. Music rooms.
. 7. Tiano rooms.
8. TV room.
9. Small theater with movie
and slade projection facilities.
10. Banquet hall with floor
unable for dances.
11. Bowling alleys.
12. Billiard rooms.
13. Ping Pong rooms.
H. Chess, checker, and card
rtoms.
15. Grill and soda fountain.
16. Barber shop.

24. Student activities archive.

31. YMCA YWCA space.
32. Space for religious organi
zations. As citizens of a great state
and as students of a great Uni
versity, we hereby pledge our
full cooperation and active sup
port toward the successful com
pletion of this vital enterprise.

Editor:
You can't judge a book by it's
cover.
As a former student of Ala
bama Polytechnic Institute
(Auburn), I have compared their
annual with the Yackety Yack.
There's not much comparison.
This years Yack is the poorest
college year book I've ever run
across. As a matter of fact it
isn't much better than an ave
. rage High School annual.
The Yack has just the bare
necessities of an annual. It is
all right. as far as it goes but it
doesn't go far enough.
I hope that in future years
the Yack staff will get on the
stick and publish a good year
book.

CORRECTION
It was stated in yesterday!
The Livespike by Rolfe Neill
that a pair .of ham radio opera
tors here "helped direct the en
tire operation (coed dorm raid)
from their cars -equipped with
two-way radios. .
The students reported yester
day they were not involved at
all in the riot other than as by
standers.
In yesterday's installment
Clews told how he managed to
obtain a press pass to the Stu
dent Congress at Prague in Aug
ust, 1950, for AP correspondent
Bill Oatis, later imprisoned by
the Czechs on charges of "es
pionage." Noting much happened for
the next few days. Well plenty
did happen, but not to affect
this story directly. The event
that was to effect the future
was a speech by a certain John
Marquesse. The American "re
presentation" at the Congress
was a group of "progressives'
of whom .Marquesse was one.
He was a nice boy, rather idea
listic, from Cornell. He was full
of a rather vague enthusiasm
and there was apparently no
difficulty for the "delegation"
leaders (keeping well in the
background) to psrsuade him
that rfe ought to second a reso
lution of solidarity with the
Kcrean Communists fighting the
"American imperialists.
This he did and the fact was
duly reported on the front page
of the Com in form weekly (offi
cial Soviet propaganda organ)
with Marquesse featured pro
minently as speaking in the
name of all American youth.
However, that was some days
later, after the noise had died
down. Naturally, Oatis and Russ
Jones (UP man) sent out dis
patches on this speech. Naturally
they tried to find out more about
it from the group in general
and Marquesse in particular.
' It was perhaps unfortunate
that the official Prague CTK
news agency made a slip and
published Marquesse's real name
in connection with the resolu
tion, instead of a nom-de-plume
under which he was originally
announced. This .blew the top
off the works back '.home ' in
the United. States., . .. .
It was following this that a
complaint was solemnly filed
by .the CongressjfreskUum a
dav'or two later. By then Oatis
had feeenj stripped, o& hii.Con
gre$s pass without .warning .or
explanation. The Presidium air
leged he had used his' position
to intimidate the "democratic"
American students. ' When I
asked for 'proof It was refused
by President Grohman on
grounds that it might endanger
them when they got back tome.
And so the Presidium went
through the farce of "discussing"
the matter and deciding with the
Russians that both Oatis and
Russ Jones had misused their
press privileges and that their
expulsion should be "recom
mended" to the Congress. And
so on to the plenary session,
the last of the Congress, when !
they were enthusiastically de- (
pounced as agents of the Ameri- '
can warmongers, guilty of in
timidating the "progressives",
and they were formerly expelled.
Oatis, of course, was not
around, but Russ Jones was
there the whole time and no
attempt was made to take his
pass off him. In fact, no interest j
was shown in him whatsoever.
Oatis was the man they were '
