The fee for becoming a life member of the or- ganization is $100. A student union for the University of Missouri was first discussed last winter. Since that time the idea has grown rapidly. The plan is to have a building such as is found at the University of Michigan and other places, where all students may gath- er and where student activities will take place, art of the money raised will be used at once to carry on an educa- tional campaign, chiefly by means of literature, to explain to the alumni the purpose of the union. Part of the funds will also be used in renting tem- porary quarters near the campus for a temporary student union building. The board also fixed the annual dues for active members at $3 and passed a motion that the p2rmanent home of the union be a clubhouse and business headquarters for men.
