The Union exists today because for over forty years individual men,' both students, faculty, and alumni members worked to bring it into being and to foster its growth. To restore this participation in the, affairs of the Union by the stu- dent body, the Board of Directors will welcome any questions, sug- gestions or complaints about the Union from its 13,678 members; now on campus. The House Com- mittee will meet from 3 to 5 p.m. Friday in the Student Offices of the Union for the specific pur- pose of contacting students desir- ing to present ideas about the Un- ion. After that date, written com- munitions left in the Student Of- fices for the Committee will re- ceive prompt attention and re- plies. More than 1,000 men partici- pated in a mass banquet, Novem- ber 11, 1904 at which the Uni- versity of Michigan Union was of- ficially launched as the social and recreational center for University men. A year earlier a student un- ion to meet the pressing need for a meeting place for mlen had been only an idea in the mind of Bob Parker, a student who was to be- come the Union's first president. By 1907, funds raised by student activities and alumni contribu- tions were sufficient to purchase the Judge Cooley home which stood on the side of the present structure. Five years later, in 1912, the Union constructed an addition which we kn'ow today as the Mimes Theatre to provide a large meeting room and dance, hall and to enlarge its dining fa- cilities. Two University alumni, the Pond brothers, drew up the plans for the Union, the first building of its kind in the country, and in June, 1916, President Hutchins turned the first shovelful of earth to formally start the construction of the present building. Delayed by the first World War, the inte- rior finishings of the main building were not completed until 1920 al- though it functioned as the head- quarters for many war activities, even being used as a barracks by; the Student Army Training Corps. By 1917 the Union, which then boasted more than 5,000 life mem- bers, had cdllected more than one- third of its million dollar building costs, chiefly through a nation- wide drive to raise funds from alumni members. That same year the members of the Union volun- tarily placed their organization under the control of the Board of. Regents. Tomorrow: Who Runs the Union lider Flight Wis Praises Of 'U' Student A jet plane may be the fastest transportation between two points,1 but a glider is the most effortless, according to Lyle Maxey, 48E. Maxey, an ex-Navy Pilot who prefers gliding to power flight, has been a glider pilot since 1937 and has participated in many meets, including last year's na- tional contest at Elmira, New York. With several other glider pilots at the University Maxey is form- ing a glider club open to students with any previous flying experi- ence. Although Maxey owns his own German built glider and is constructing another, he said that one of the chief purposes of the gliding club will be to purchase a glider "with good performance" which members can use in meets. Dick Nelson, 48E, who has also had experience in gliding, explain- ed that the club is being formed to train novices as well as to pro- vide regular flights for experienc- ed members of the group. Gliding, or the "art of flying a motorless plane in a steady down- ward flight," not only has been adopted as a sport, but was used during the war to deposit men and equipment behind enemy lines, Nelson said. Cbmplete information on glid- ing and the plans of the club will be provided at an organizational meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in Rm. 1042, East Engineering.
