MEMORIAL UNION UNFINISHED BECAUSE OF UNPAID PLEDGES
$40,000 Is Needed for Completion of First Unit With Offices and Game Room
The Kansas Memorial Union stands unfinished. A campaign to build the Memorial stadium and the Memorial Hall for the Kansas State University was started in 1920. The stadium has been completed, but only one unit of the Memorial Union is built—and that team has gone on.
When the campaign started in 1920 for these memorial edifices, more than $800,000 was pledged by 1,810 students and $400,000 was pledged and paid by 8,800 students and alumn. The alumni contributing to the fund is an average of $75 per person. Out of this money the stadium has been built with $68 million to the Union building on it now stands.
"The sub-base, or that one under the Caterain, will be the game room," Mr. Ellsworth says. "It will be a room for all the books and probably a book exchange.
When the present unit is finished, the upstairs will be even more beautiful than the first floor." Mr. Elsie Council, etc., will occupy the third room of the building, which is the backyard around the ball room. These rooms which are to be used for the offices were originally planned to be sleeping quarters but will be expanded away with that idea. However, when the second unit is completed there will be room in it for offices and those apartments may be used for that purpose.
"About $20,200 has been put into the first unit to date," says Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association. "It will take $40,000 to finish the present unit, and $40,000 to complete it." It is Mr. Ellsworth's opinion that the first unit should be completed before the next one is built. If the first unit were completed, the students would get an idea of what the future will look like. They would be more willing to contribute to the next one, he believes.
"Money," said Mr. Ellsworth when asked what was the present needs of the operating committee. "Money so that they can platter and finish their meals, and finally beauty to its new rough cement walls. "At present the committee has a little money on hand but they have practically decided to use this in putter training and screening off the north terrain and screening off the north rows so that small dimmers can be

and other fixtures necessary were added, the Memorial Union would be one of the busiest places on the Hill.
I think if every student contributed $2.50 and those who could contribute more would, we would have enough to finish the present unit and give the students an idea of what the Union is going to be, but if the students do not want the Union cannot be built and the completion will remain at a standstill."
