A major part of the Union's program is devoted to service projects such as the semi-annual blood drive to help the University Hos- pital maintain its Blood Bank. Weekly entertainment in the form of the Sunday night films was heartily received. Also, in the promotion of free discussion the Films Committee handled the film Opera- tion Abolition which dealt with the work of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. The Artist Series Committee and the Fine Arts Committee added balance to the total Union program as the Artist Series concentrated on the classics and the Fine Arts Com- mittee presented a sellout folk music concert by Carolyn . Hester. Emphasis was put on out-of-the-classroom education as the Union sponsored a colloquium in which the eminent authorities, Dr. Sabin, Dr. Corbett, and Mr. Rudolph, spoke on medicine, international law, and architecture respec- tively. The publication of the Student Directory was handled by the Union, which sold the Directory for a small fee. This activity will be altered in part next year as the Union will make the directories available at no cost to the students.

Mr. McKay, Director of Newcombe Hall, and his secretary, Karen Wolfe, have always been tremendous help to the Union. University Union The University Union, working under both a new name and constitution, began operation during Orientation Week by holding an open house in Newcomb Hall. Since the promotion of student social life is one of the objectives of the Union, three mixer dances were held in the fall, all of which received enthusiastic participation. In an endeavor to improve the operation of the University Union, seven students represented Virginia in the Region Four Conference of College Unions held at the University of Florida. Ideas and information were exchanged at this conference, and in further pursuit of improvement, the Public Relations Committee was formed by our Union. A questionaire was subsequently circulated which yielded valuable student opinion and suggestions. Through the promotion of the Cavalier Christmas Fund the University Union enabled a single student contribution to reach several major charitable organizations by employ- ing the United Fund concept. In another public service activity, the Union gave students an opportunity to aid in the work of the University Hospital by sponsoring the - fall and spring blood drives. The region four conference wasnit all work. t

Its membership is made up of interested first-year men, who serve a proba- tionary period during their first year, serving under the various committee chairmen and learning the organization and functions of the Union. Actual membership in the University Union is directly determined by the amount of work done on the First Year Committee. The First Year Committee is thus a stepping-stone to all omcial positions in the Student Union and is invaluable experience for hrst-year men.
