These centers of college community life now number more than 600, with another'200 in the planning or construction stages, according to a report just issued by the Association of College Unions. .The financing of unions has been unique in education in that the buildings .with few exceptions are constructed , arid, operated without cost', to taxpayers. Funds", have prineipally ,come from gifts' and borrowing, with loans repaid from student1, membership fees - and building earnings.., • In ,1956, the Stetson Union at Stetson University became the first building to be financed through, the federal loan program of the Housing.and Home Financing, Agency. * From the moment of its'opening in 1957 the, Union has been a center, of activity • for , the Stetson campus and has provided valuable services and facilities for -Volusia county as , well. ■ .-'--,; The earliest college unions were student debating societies in English universities. There the unions have played such a large part in training students for public life that they have been called "the cradle of the British parliament." The first building erected for college union purposes' in this country opened in 1896 at the University of Pennsylvania as . a "place' where -all-may-'), meet on common ground," but were typically for men only. '. Beginning' in the 1920's unions evolved as'general centers'to meet the qut-of-class -needs of all students and faculty, and in recent years show a marked trend to include music rooms, - theaters, browsing rooms, art facilities, and craft' shops. Today's unions, according to the Association, . combine cultural, social, dining, arid ' recreational facilities in a -center . and a program with the "purpose' of; fulfilling the needs of living along with learning, and • preparing students for*' citizenship' responsibilities and leadership. , - .. ■•; Stetson University's $1 Vi million union .which __ai-conditioned' includes a large, general meeting room — the Stetson Room — which serves the public as well as the campus community.

Elizabeth Hall and 160 feet east of the center of Holler Fountain. $1 MILLION The Stetson library and furnishings will cost well above the $1 million mark, will occupy approximately 50,000' square feet, and have-a potential for housing 250,- 000 books plus documents, periodicals, microfilm, and other collections.

Ollie Edmund's said, "Neither the federal government nor the slate government should contri bute directly to institutions spon-' sored or supported by religious groups." He said it doesn't cost any less to attend a public institution than it does a private institution. "The difference is made up by the taxpayer," he added. Edmunds spoke against proposals in Washington which would reduce deductions allowable for gifts. "The best - aid the federal government can give is to make it easier for the taxpayer," he said. ■ VOLUNTARY GIFTS Neither the state nor federal government can help church-related colleges, Edmunds said. x"This college exists. solely on voluntary gifts, a large portion 'of which comes from Florida's Baptist churches. Gifts are also received from alumni and corporations." "A new group of friends has arisen recently, that is, parents providing 'voluntary assistance," he added and said Stetson . encourages such assistance. , Stetson University is striving to find new and better ways of using its facilities and staff,* Edmunds told some 500 parents of Stetson students. , SUMMER SCHOOL Edmunds said that about one- third of .Stetson students attend summer - school now and the University hopes to expand this to one-half. "This, country simply cannot afford-the luxury of allowing its students three months off in the summer," he said. Edmunds said Stetson's faculty is discussing proposals' that' would allow students to set more of their own intellectual pace.. "A student should be able to'finish his college work in less than 36 months if he is capable of doing so," he said. Stetson University is a college willing to experiment, he asserted, and it will continue to * attract national attention because of its experiments. Edmunds, said the 7faculty is studying the amount of time Stetson students need to spend in the classroom and ways of placing more emphasis on independent study. Dean W. Hugh McEniry Jr. told Stetson parents that wars are now fought on college ; campuses — "these are .wars for the minds of men and women." GRIM SITUATION Despite the grimness of the world-situation, McEniry said "we don't think our students will become grim people." "We believe they will be gay as well as courageous, and** that is because of the reason that Stetson exists. We are here to affirm and DO affirm that there is a peace possible beyond all understanding and this peace is always available." ■< (Continued on Page Two) Orchestra Presents Concert The Stetson University Orchestra played its first concert of the spring semester March 19 at 8 p. m. in the Elizabeth Hall auditorium on the DeLand campus.
