year during orientation week,
serves as an introductory social
event for freshmen to the Union.
Featuring a mock gambling casino,
a jazz band ,and movies, the pro-
gram alternates between the ball-
room and the grill, giving fresh-
men an opportunity to view the
Union. -
Another student service of the
Union is the sale of football tickets
in the lobby on Saturday mornings
before games. Also, at the same
desk any day or night of the week,
Union members may cash checks.
This desk also offers to any stu-
dent a convenient location to buy
bus tickets, blue books, candy,
cigarettes and magazines.
The Union also sponsors talks
by outstanding professors or by
outside experts in a field. Last
year, for example, the Israeli
Council came and talked about the
Eichmann case.
The Union also maintains a file
of available tutors.
These are just a few of the func-
tions which this student organiza-
tion performs.
The Union is a corporation
whose stock is totally owned by the
Regents. In charge of the organi-
zation is the Union Board of Di-
rectors which consists of students
elected at large, the student offi-
cers of the Union, alumni and fac-
ulty representatives and the Dean
of Men.
President of the Union this year
is Paul Carder, '62.
The student officers rise through
the ranks of the Union organiza-
tion, working on various projects
throughout their first three years.
In the spring, juniors are 'ap-
pointed to the three executive
positions by the Board of Direc-
tors.
Among the living opportunities
Uniesit is mthe fraternty, 44 of
which are represented on campus.
To acquaint men with the sys-
tem, a semi-annual rushing per-
iod is conducted at the first of
each semester, usually beginning
the fourth week and ending the
sixth. This two-week event is an
opportunity for the rushee to
learn about fraternity living at
the University and to possibly de-
cide for himself whether he would
like to be a member.
The Inter-Fraternity Council,
which governs the "Greek" chap-
ters, urges each man to go through
rush while at the University, so
he can learn about this way of
nty either semester move into the
chapter house the next fall.
Rush Registration
Those freshmen who wish to
look at the fraternity system their
first semester, and have not mail-
ed in a registration card during
the summer, may sign up for rush
at the Union.
Anyone who may want to rush
must sign up. Registration does
not oblige a man to rush, just as
going through rush does not obli-
gate a man to jpin a fraternity.
There will be rushing counselors
available at the Union beginning
Sept, 26 to answer any questions a
