Main basement will be the campus social center pending completion in last of the new Grinnell College Forum on which constru 'on will start this spring. ‘ Activities in the old union building will be dispersed to new locations by the end ot Febe ruary Cyclone and 5&8 otfices will be moved to 1022 Park SL: the food service office will occupy remodeled space in Mears basement; the oiiices of Georgia Dental (activities counselor). the strident auditor, and social and SGA. com— mittees will be moved to ARH. anne . and the union grille and lounge will be moved to Main basement Most of the moving will take place during the last week in February. “Although we will try to keep the grille ope ting as long as pos- siblc," Ludwig c id, “it. will probably be neces sary to curtail, il not suspend, some activities in the building that week,” The college is contracting for removal ot the old building during March. Dismantling will probably start soon after March it. The present building is the only real student union building the college ever had. Ludwig said. It is the suitcassor at several smaller social ce tcrs once operating in such places as the “Y’ building (now Steiner Hall). the White House, and the residence at 1206 Broad St., now the home of John Kleinschmidt (modern foreign language), Union operations in these locations were pretty much limited to refreshments and maybe some checkers and ping pong, Ludwig commented. Dismantled and hauled by truck some 235 miles from the Sioux City Air Base, the pres— ent building was a war surplus structure given to Grinnell by the government along with several otlmr barracks buildings used to ac» commodate the post—ww n student population. The building was formally opened, complete with ribbon—cutting, on Nov. 15'. 1947, Only the first iloor was used ior socialepurposes; classrooms and taculty oiticcs were on the see ond floor. In a student contest to name the building, “Pioneer Pub” won out. but the name didn't Stick. However, “Elbow Room.” the name given to the back portion of tlic grille is still used by some students and faculty. At the grand opening of the union much at. tention was given to a new popcorn machine, and a unique donut making machine s 'd to turn out up to 75 dozen dounts per hour. “Everyone has always thought of the studentl union as it ’ternpcrary' building,” Ludwig coin mented. “Student generations since 1947 have been telling visitors somewhat apologetically that Grinnell is going to build a new social celle ter soon, and no one expected the old bullding to remain almost it: years’ Main Hall basement. the temporary ”union” until September of 1964, has undergone major remodeling: during the past 60 days.
