Two new major projects are planned for next year to increase the Student Union Activities program and service to KU students.

A Picture Lending library will be initiated by next fall. The library will consist of 100 pictures of mostly contemporary paintings. Students can check these out at the beginning of the semester to decorate their rooms. Each student is limited to one painting that can be checked out for one semester only.
The SUA committee presented its budget for next year at the Student Union operating committee meeting at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

She did say the Election Night party had been an outstanding success. The Louis Armstrong reception when the basketball team returned from Kansas City was another highpoint she cited.
Lee MacMorris, Hutchinson senior, will read light poetry at the Poetry Hour. 4 p. m. Thursday in the Music Room of the Student Union.
