KU's Living Room The Spacious Kansas Union
WELCOME
One of the first things a new student learns here at school is that the Union is the "living room" of the campus. The social and extra-curricular activity found at the Union provides in some way enjoyment for every student. Coffee houses, exhibits, television, forums, bowling, reading, or the inevitable coke date are just a few of the opportunities awaiting you at the Union.
This west view of the Kansas Union shows the entrance to the new pedestrian tunnel from Zone X parking lot off Mississippi Street. This spacious, well-lighted pedestrian tunnel provides convenient access to the facilities of the Kansas Union.
Recreation . . . Relaxation . . .
The Kansas Union is the ideal place for students to spend their spare time just relaxing. The S.U.A. recreation program offers you a wide variety of activities all year long.
Bowling, billiards and chess are among the favorite forms of recreation. Tournaments are held in each of the sports to recognize those who excel, and prizes are awarded to the winners.
S.U.A...
Behind the hustle and bustle of the many and diversified activities that go on in a single hour at the Kansas Union are many Kansas University students who make up the organization known to all Jayhawkers as S.U.A. (Student Union Activities).
The S.U.A. Board is an all student executive body composed of four officers and eight area chairmen who supervise the various phases of the Union program. Membership in S.U.A. is numbered in the hundreds, and as simple as attending the membership meeting at the beginning of the year to decide which committee interests you the most.

Education . . . Culture . . .
Perhaps you are most interested in the Educational and Cultural programs which Student Union Activities provides as supplements to your classroom work. Art displays are set up in the south lounge throughout the year.
The Music and Browsing Room is a favorite place of many students where they spend some of their spare time reading a magazine, good book or just listening to some good classical music.
S. U.A. sponsors speakers, plans frequent forums, poetry hours and informal discussions that are invaluable to a person interested in strengthening his cultural background.
The picture lending library is also popular with many students.
Northwest Addition
The addition on the northwest corner of the Kansas Union, includes the Oread Book Shop and several new meeting rooms.
Incorporated into this addition's first floor is the Alumni Association office complex.
In addition to the food services listed, the Kansas Union has a complete catering department. Catered service is available in our private dining rooms for banquets, buffets, wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners, luncheons, teas, bridal showers, dessert dinner parties, or dinner-dances.
Catering Service
To meet the increasing demand for seating at functions such as the S.U.A. classical and popular film series, visiting lecturers, and jazz concerts, the Kansas Union added a 525 seat auditorium.
Orientation Week activities are only the beginning of the times students use the many facilities in the Union. It is the place to organize special interest groups, join organizations, attend meetings, discuss current issues with fellow students and faculty members, hear speakers, attend movies, or read and relax.
