A College of Puget Sound coed, probably Beverly Berlie, tries to sell a "pledge ticket" to a shipyard welder on the Tacoma tideflats. For two days in April of 1941, 600 students from CPS spred out through Tacoma and its neighboring cities to raise money for their new student union building. The "Bricks-krieg" was under the leadership of senior class president Phil Walesby, who was named dictator-for-a-day-or-so. Work on the student union was completed in December of 1941. The dedication was held January 16, 1942.
