PRES, EDMUNDS ANNOUNCES PLANS NEARLY COMPLETE Groundbreaking for the new Student Union Building will take place Monday, May 21, at 10:00 o'clock, President J. Ollie Edmunds told the Reporter today. He added: "I hope that the first official act of the new President of the Student Government Association will be the appointment of a committee to plan and conduct the ceremonies. "All faculty members and arLainis-- trative- officers will be requested to refrain from making any appointments for that hour to mak«' sure that the entire University Tsiaiily can witness this significant event, I hope that the Band, Glee Club, ROTC Color Guard and Mo.vhing Units, and official representatives of every student organization c> the campus will be invited to partl-c'oate. The proceedings, should be brc<';<;«i3t over WJBS, and I expect that raany out-of-town visitors will want to be here for the party. "Since the announcement c'. the approval of the loan for this b.iiiding was made in Washington on January 21, our architects have been working feverishly with administrative officers to rush this jo"b as lu-.cii as possible. I am grateful for t'v patience that all of our stu.dcn.tp "-save exhibited, and I am confident that as they watch this new building rise, Phoenix-like from the ashes ■•'t the old, they will feel amply rewarded for the inconveniences they lu.fc experienced by the knowledge tlwi before too long our campus will Siave Ihe most modern and the most heau- Liful Student Union Building i« the Southeast." When the shovels break ground for the new million dollar CoioTO'jns- Student Union it will be a nationally historic, as well as a' locally historic, moment. The building will represent the first Student Union balding pivoted under the Hew interpttation of Federal Loan laws dealing with school building loans and it wr'i open the way for many more buid'nas of its type. The first building to receive a loan of this type the new Student Union nearly was not authorized to be built. A misplaced comma in the will of the late John B. Stetson seeaed to block tlie authorization of tie use of the laud for loan purposes. Litigation in Volusia County Courts cleared the title and the go ahead signal was given by Preside*:! Edmunds. General information available at present reveals that the Union Building will cover more ground ares,, and cost more than Elizabeth Hall.
