.. THE MICHIGAN DAILY MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19,1957 There's a Nationally-Known Independent Record Dealer in Ann Arbor Renovation Enlarges Union Area, (Continued from Page 1) open to students. A darkroom is also located in the basement. The addition brought about not only an increase in the size of the down- stairs cafeteria but provided space for an air-conditioning system at the same time. Primary feature on the main floor of the Union is the Anderson Room, a multi-purpose banquet room which can be subdivided and' used by more than one group. Second floor of the Union con- tains music rooms, television and a conference room, in addition to the Union offices. More confer- mnce rooms are located on the third floor.

After years of such traditionsI as women entering by a side door and senior table top carving, con- venience has eliminated many of the traditions previously associated with the Union, and most of the interest in those traditions. Senior table top carving still exists, but few pay much attention to it. Women started entering the front door of the Union many years ago, even before the restriction was lifted. Union directors realized this and belatedly lifted the ban. Pins Not Worn Even Union pins are not worn as much as they used to be. Women also had a part in trans- forming the old Union Opera into MUSKET last year. The first three letters are innocuous enough, standing for Michigan Union Show. The commentary on what has happened to the male tradi- tion at the Union comes in the last letters-standing for KoEds Too. There are few places in the Union where University ien can escape women. Even the swimming pool has nights for both men and women. Women however are barred from the Pendelton library on the second floor of the Union. They needn't feel bad, for also banned are coats, putting your feet up on chairs, sleeping on couches and eating-all done in an effort to preserve some spark of the "for men only" tradition, and the former dignity of the Union. In fact, the Pendelton library, with its high ceiling and cushioned chairs is probably the best example of the way the Union used to be. Even the pool hall across the corridor no longer reflects the tra- ditions of the Union. With the exception of the photos of Univer- sity teams from the late 1800's on, atmosphere of the fluorescent lighted pool room is not much like that of old. The original purpose of the Union was to end rivalry between fraternity and independent men. Established in 1904, the Union did not have a building for the first three years of its existance. Opened Late Groundbreaking for the main part of the present Union building began in 1916, but after trouble with loans, a world war and a shortage of money, it was not opened until 1919. The library and the swimming pool were still to be added, however. Until 1928, Union senior officers were elected by the University as a whole, with a fraternity man sereving as president one year and an independent the next. After 1928, the two senior of- ficers were appointed on merit. Two years ago, a third senior posi- tion was established. e By LANE VANDERSLICE Years of musically intelligent service in an atmosphere of congeniel informality, have resulted in an envied position among record dealers. Hotel, Restaurant, 'Service' Keynote Union's Existence Anyone in a light-hearted mood could call the Union a Boy Scout among campus organizations. Service is its watchword. Special events and programs provide the noticeable part of Un- ion service, but just as important are the every-day services which the Union provides. The Union operates the biggest hotel and restaurant in Ann Ar- bor. Especially noticeable 'on foot- ball weekends, the approximately 200-room hotel provides its serv- ices throughout the year. Union restaurant service is comprised of MUG - the Michi- gan Union Grill and smaller snack bars downstairs, which, beside providing sustenance, give both a home. and a place to study to many University students. Up- stairs, restaurant and banquet fa- cilities complete Union service. Cashing Appreciated Check cashing is one of the most appreciated and most used Un.; n serviares. With bus, train and airplane schedules, the Union will not only show you the way to go home, but, if you happen to be taking a bus, will sell you a ticket. Calling home is made much easier eby the Union's battery of long distance phone booths, with telephone books from many big cities to restore numbers to the forgetful. Cigars, cigarettes, - magazines, candy and newspapers - all these and many more items can be bought at the main desk in the first floor lobby. The remodeled barbershop in the basement gives quick service because of the large number of chairs. Pool and Pool Directly opposite the barbershop is one of the Union's many recre- ational facilities, the swimming pool. Showing your ID card and paying 15 cents to the attendant will give you the use of a locker, A COMPREHENSIVE RECORD STOCK -- t a clean white towei and the spa- cious pool. Other recreational facilities, be- sides the downstairs cafeteria, with its opportunities for "Just watching" pool arld pingpong room, with picturEs of past Ui- versity teams ranged around..the walls, a bowline alley, TV rooms and lounges, In process of being completed are second floor music rooms, which, with hi-fi phonographs, will provide a chance to listen to your favorite record albums. Events Calendared The Bulletin board on one side of the main desk provides a calen- dar of the day's events in the Un- ion and incidentally proves it is a center for student activities on camp. Any one day may fin.i student and faculty organiztions making use of the meetiig and confetence room facilities provided by the Union. Formerly the home for Inter. Fraternity Council and Inter- House Council, the Union still houses the Men's Glee Club and MUSKET, a revived and revised version of the old Union Opera, in addition to Union Student Offices. These Union Student Officer handle the special events of the Union. Ten student-staffed committees carry out the projects of the stu- dent offices. Responsibilities Many They are responsible for Little Club, free dances held on Fridays in the MUG, bi-annual jazz con- certs, Saturday night 'dances, Quartereback films Mondays after each game during the football sea- son, the semi-annual Student Faculty Administration Confer- ence, a summer air flight to Europe, theatre trips to Detroit and Toledo, and an annual open house. Last year the student offices started an International Commit- tee which'this year will initiate an "American Brother" system to help provide increased integration of foreign students on campus. Also to take effect this year will be plans for a Union Senate. This will provide a representative body of University men to discuss both University and Union problems and make recommendations to both the Union and Student Gov- ernment Council. ,' 4 A ' ~< TABLE MODEL & CONSOLE RADIO-PHONOGRAPHS RECORD CABINETS AND OTHER ACCESSORIES TV SETS by RCA VICTOR UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN MUSIC HI FESTUDIO "Distributors of the Finest High Fidelity Components" . 1 e We Stock Kits-Amplifier-FM Tuner, Speaker May we invite you to visit us at either of our two convenient locations.
