University's Living Room Is Also Bustling Complex
ANALYSIS
The Reagan Union once over its construction in 1967 has been called "the living room of the University."

In 1928, the Board of Directors of the Memorial Corp. set up the Union Executive Committee to review and approve committee, which can be called on short notice, is composed of the University President, the controller, the Student Union Activities (SUA) president, a professor and a faculty member.
Although the University owns the land on which the Union stands, the Union itself is a separate financial operation and does not have its own headquarters. The Kansas Union Memorial Corp. handles its fiscal affairs.
But the Union is more than just a nice place to relax. It is a bustling complex of business and finances.
THE BOARD of Directors also established the Union Operating Committee. The 22-member
committee consists of William
Mittman, the main representative
of the alumni of the student
students selected by the Student
Senate and the SUA president.
Also on the Union Operating Committee, but without a vote, are the directors of the Union and be bookstore.
The Operating Committee determines the policies and plans for operation and the development of the Union.
Warner Ferguson, associate director for financial affairs, said that except for an $8 fee paid by the company, he had no involvement, the Union was self-supporting.
Ferguson said that of the $18 fee $7.50 goes for debt services and $9.50 goes for capital handled directly by the University. Insurance costs, which rose considerably after the fire, are the biggest cost and the remaining $8.50 goes directly to the Union for daily operations and working capital needs.
OTHER THAN FEES, the Union depends on several areas of operations for financial support. Income is also derived from KU concessions, which operate all the facilities at the various snack bars and the
Music Professor Wins Sixth Composers' Award
Pardro's most recent major work is a composition for chorus and orchestra based on a text by Walt Whitman.
For the sixth consecutive year John W Pozdro, chairman of the music theory and composition department at Kansas, has received a cash prize by the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Musicians.
The society, through an independent panel, makes the award to assist and encourage composers of serious music.
A member of the KU faculty since 1950, Pozdro has composed
three symphonies and three piano sonatas, as well as other types of musical works. The Symphony commissioned and recorded his Third Symphony, and his Second Symphony, both of which have been recorded commercially. The Third Sonata was commissioned by the Mrs. and Mr. Sweet.
The University awarded Podzro its 1962 H. Bernard Fink prize of $1,000 for distinguished classroom teaching. In 1964 the Kansas Federation of Music Districts awarded "distinguished service to the musical life of the community, state and nation."

Any profits, Ferguson said, are put into the union operating fund. For the past two years, however, Ferguson has operated in the red be said.
Ferguson cited the 1970 fire and the accompanying turmoil, and inflatation conditions as major reasons for the Union's losses.
The major source of income, Ferguson said, is the Union Bookstore. Profits are discussed in class and refunds and a scholarship fund for disavaged students. The remainder is retained for expansion of the bookstore, such as books in Hashing Hall, he said.
ANOTHER SOURCE of income is the Union recreation department's Jay Bowl, located on the bottom floor of the Union.

"About a year ago relevancy our campus and a lot of people decided to leave," he said, and taking a few ideas from the West and East coasts, the question of female boarders "just got much more."

"It doesn't affect me as much because the girls do live in a separate part of the house, the carriage house," he added.
Miss Schmaus has lived in the carriage house since Sept. 1. She enrolled late and was looking for a small place to live when she read the ad at the Kansas Union building on Monday. She liked a good place in life, she said.

Miss Naylor moved in two weeks ago. She first heard about the opportunity through some friends she met and they suggested that she move in. She like the advantage of having her food already prepared, having her own room and having a place where she already had friends at the house.
BOTH GIRLS own German Shepherd dogs and said that one of their main reasons for moving into the carriage house. While other living complexes will welcome dogs, dogs are welcome at the house.
Both girls enjoy the privacy of living in the carriage house.
