Ar upening uctroer z
Construction work on the new
Student Union is reaching the final
stages, with October 28 as the
planned date for the official open-ing
of the Union.
Apollo Quartet to Entertain
The Apollo Quartet and a live
combo have been booked to pro-vide
entertainment at the initial
ceremonies celebrating the comple-tion
of the work.
A delay in the acquisition of
materials, (specifically, the slate
tile for the floor of the snack bar)
has caused a two-week postpone-ent
of the opening.
The area formerly called the
G ill will be converted into a
lounge for bridge games. Part of
the floor is to be carpeted, and
leather-covered bucket chairs will
be added to the room.
Friday Jazz Sessions
In the snack bar, small tables
will surround a sunken floor which
will be used for dancing. Live com-bos
and vocal groups will provide
entertainment every Friday after-noon
from 2:30 to 5 p.m. in jazz
sessions entitled "Jazz Limited."
Anyone or any group interested
in performing should contact Jim
Kidder at the Phi Mu Alpha house.
Five ping-pong tables will be
provided for the students' use, di-rectly
below the lounge. Further to
the west, there will be three bil-liard
tables.
As a divider between the two
areas, a small shop will be enclosed
that will sell school supplies.
The ground patio to the east
and outside the snack bar will be
equipped with wrought-iron tables
and chairs. The roof garden, also
to be equipped with patio furni-ture,
will be available for dancing
and will be accessible from the

$503,000 Now Pledged To
IWU Progress Fund Campaign
As of August 15 a total of more
than $503,000 has been pledged
toward Wesleyan's Progress Fund
Campaign goal of $525,000. In sight
are other pledges that will push
the local campaign past the $525,-
000 goal. $200,000 more to com-plete
the Progress Fund goal will
be sought outside the local com-munity.
The effort has engaged the col-laboration
of many workers, con-stituting
a cross section of the com-munity's
private, professional, and
corporate interests, volunteering in
the task of soliciting pledges of fi-nancial
support.
With Paul Allison, a Wesleyan
alumnus, as general chairman assist-ed
by four sub-committee chairmen,
canvasing was conducted by a
corps of 230 workers.
Work can now be pushed for-ward
on preparation of the new
Science hall and the field house
for university use. Definite plans
can be made for converting - the
old science building to other uni-versity
purposes when the new sci-ence
building is ready for occu-pancy.
The relocation of electrical cir-cuits
and other planned campus im-provement
projects are assured.
The fifth project, the installation
of the new pipe organ in Presser
auditorium, has already been com-pleted.
