Description

An image of a student performance inside the Compton Union Building, WSU building #63. A young man stands before a microphone playing an electric guitar above his head hangs a banner, which reads "Friday at four presented every Friday by CUB special events". 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.
