Publicity for College of Puget Sound "Bricks-krieg," brick-selling campaign to build a new Student Union Building. On April 18, 1941, five young women pose with a mound of bricks outside of the American Machinery & Electric Co. at 2123 Pacific Ave. On the top row right are Beverly Berlie and bottom row right Jean Battin. Although the publicity shots were made with real bricks, souvenir paper bricks were sold during the campaign. Plans to build the Student Union had stalled due to the increase in wartime construction costs. Bids to built the Student Union were up 50 % over the original estimates. CPS policy was to have all funds in place before commencing construction.The student body stepped in to raise the needed funds. On April 23-24, 600 CPS students descended on Tacoma to sell the residents 40,000 bricks at 50 cents each. (1941 C.P.S. annual, Tamanawas)
