The question of the eviction of Student Union squatters arose this week as a result of the Daily Trojan’s campaign against those who occupy space in the cafeteria for long periods of time, while others who intend tc buy food are unable to get seats.
Paul Wiic^nan, president of the ASSC. suggested that the best way to relieve che situation would be to appeal to the student occupants themselves. “The cooperation of all students is needed in a situation such as this, since facilties are few and those which we have are overcrowded. If squatters would realize there are others who may not have as much free time as they do, and who •would like to eat and leave, there would be less congestion.”
“Perhaps the best answer to this question." stated Herb Hynson, president of the Trojan Knights, “would be a coke and coffee counter in the Student Union lounge. Since so many of the squatters seem to come to the cafeteria fcr these only,1 wouldn't this help relieve the over-! crowdedness that one finds all the time?”
Edsel Curry, chairman of the Student Union committee, suggested. as did the others, more facili-
ties for students to lounge around in. “Though the present Student lounge is seldom overcrowded.” he stated, “the place has little appeal. It is a place more for study than anything else. Besides, students need a place where they can have a cup of coffee and chat. The Student Union is being redecorated at present,” he continued, “but an extension, such as Dr. Fagg told of in his address to the students, is needed.”
