An image of a male student performance (four horns, piano, and a standing bass) inside the Compton Union Building, WSU building #63. From left to right standing: a trombonist, two sax players, a trumpet, behind him is a bassist, and seated to the far right is a pianist. A clock on the wall reads 4:13; most likely this is a "Friday at four" performance. Students are seated at booths and tables eating and talking. Designed by John Maloney in modern functional style, the Compton Union Building (CUB) was built in 1951 at a cost of $3 million and named for Wilson Compton, WSU President 1944 to 1951. The CUB was financed by the Regents through bond issues totaling $2,613,000, with the remaining funds contributed by the Associated Students (ASSCW). In 1969, a major renovation added an additional floor to the building including hotel rooms.
