Although one of the Great Universities, Berkeley has absolutely

they give us bush leaguers at FSC something to look up to, perhaps
even a hero image to emulate—but the word Is out: the Berkeley

College Union Follows 1956 Plan

The average living i
private home Is about 200 square
feet in area. Construction will
begin late this semester on a
42,000 square foot living room for
Fresno State College-the Col¬
lege Union.
CoUege Union Director Earl
Whitfield and other administra¬
tors saw a need for a building
to provide a physical and aesthe¬
tic center for the campus and stu¬
dents at FSC. Fresno architect
Allen Y. Lew was chosen over
four other architects to design
that center.
Lew had received the Amer¬
ican Institute of Architects
Awards for his dlslgn of the
Fresno Air Terminal and an ex-
ceUence award for the Chinese
Confuclous Temple in west
Fresno. Well qualified, he de¬
signed the union, a 'glasshouse'

Other faculties distributed
throughout the center will Include
a ticket office, recessed and free¬
standing glass show cases, an

for banging photographs, refri¬
gerated drinking fountains and
furnished lounge areas.

firm to furnish equipment for
12-16 bowling lanes. Billiard,
table tennis and small games
(card tables) equipment will also
be provided.
Plans also Include a check-
cashing service and possibly a
contract post office. A 2- or 4-
chalr barbershop and a 'quiet

possibilities.
Some facilities will be leased
to campus related groups as a
source of additional Income.
The planned and possible fea¬
tures of the College Union listed
above were the most popular In
a poll taken last year by the then

Function As
Campus Center
By PAMELA DUOAN
The Association ot College Un¬
ions unanimously adopted a state¬
ment ot union purposes and func¬
tions In 1856. The four-part
statement, which serves as a
guide to the Senate Board on
the College Union and to union
management at other colleges,
states that:
'The Union Is the community
center of the coUege* for all
associated with the college: the
students, faculty, administra¬
tors, alumni and guests. It Is an
organization and a program - an
InsUtutloo of sorts - more than
Just a building.
The union serves 'as the living
room' ot the coUege community,'
providing services, conveniences
and opportunities of all types for
the coUege. The FSC CoUege Un¬
ion will be the physical center
as well as an aesthetic center of
the campus, providing faculties
tor 'Informal associations out¬
side the classroom.*
•The union Is part of the edu¬
cational program of the college.
As the center of coUege com¬
munity life, It serves as alabor-
atory of citizenship, training stu¬
dents in social responsibility anc
for leadership in our democracy.*
Research studies have shown
that union activity leaders be¬
come more active In civic affairs
than others without such exper-

committees and staff, It provides
a cultural, social and recreation¬
al program, aiming to make free

processes It encourages self-

mum opportunity for self-
realization and for gTowth In . ..
group expectancy."
The proposal to finance the
CoUege Union was not approved
by FSC students until students
were given broader responsibil¬
ity In managing the union.
Students at FSC who have at¬
tended coUeges with well-estab-
Ushed unions are emphatic about
the Influence a union has.

students at Junior coUege took the
