groundbreaking... Union Breaking With great ceremony—and an almost audible sigh of relief from those concerned—UM Presi Hf"^ dent Henry King Stanford turned the first shovel full of soil Friday, signifying the beginning of construction of the new Student Union. Also participating in the ceremonies, and turning a symbolic shovel full of dirt, were Jim Blosser, student government president in 1959-60, Norman "Chink" Whitten, director of the Student Union, and Mark Clasby, current student government president. It was Blosser who began the campaigning that culminated in partial student financial aid for both the union and the Otto G. Richter Library. Clasby summed up the feeling of those at tending UM now when he said: "We, the stu- ' dents of 1963-64 would like to thank the students of 1959-60 for the foresight to look ahead to future years." Razing of the old building began Monday, and promptly became a major point of student interest on campus. At one point, there were over 1000 students gazing on as a crane equipped with a 2-ton lead ball demolished a part of the soda fountain .area.
