I note, for example, in a recent report of the Student Activities Division of the I nion that n less than 38 different program activities are being m a i n t a i n e d . In a -ingle year the total attendance record for these functions was over 150,000. These activities i n c l u d e b a n q u e t s , dances, discussion groups, film programs, games and t o u r n a m e n t s , instructional programs, I oncertS promotion activities, student shows, social and welfare s e n ices, parties and special events. Now the sheer fun inherent in a party, a dance or a festival should not be u n d e r v a l u e d . I he human being does not li\ e by bread alone nor by brain alone: as n\ all-round personality he needs ) pa\ attention to the social and emotional sides of his life. At the same time t h e responsibility d in setting up these programs is a good e x p e r i e n c e in co-operation. Man) a student arc perhaps for the first time, that nothing gets done 1>\ itself. It d e m a n d s more than a rally shared interesl to develop and maintain a successful r e c r e a t i o n a l program. Interest tthusiasm need to be linked to planning and execution —a useful lesson throughout life. In all such matters the lllini Union is well set up and beautiful!) housed. S t u d e n t s , lacultv, lumni and campus visitors all give it tangible support and a p p r e c i a t i o n . The lllini I nion is an integral part of the Universit) of Illinois, The I niversit) would be .mpoverished without its unique educational and social helpfulness. 11.<.. i,„ ,. we M lute the lllini I nion on iu tenth anniversary of service to ever) member of the Universit) Family.
