women's union All women undergraduates in McGill University are automatically members of the Women's Union. They are represented on the executive of the Womenis Union by the president, vice-president, secretary, and members-at-large. The treasurer is the only member of the executive not from McGill University. The women stu- dents are represented in the S.E.C. by the president and the vice-president. The president and the secretary are elected in the spring and the other members of the executive in the fall. Activities during the year included an Open House after the Royal Visit to the Universityg a Taxi Dance after the Queens- McGill football game, the profits of which went to the Combined Charities Cam- paign, a Career Clinic, a very enlighten- ing Fashion Showg and a Bridge Tourna- ment.

Historical Society, Social Ser- vice Committee, Women's Medical Soci- ety, Graduate Nurses' Society, and Phy- siotherapy Society.

To avoid serious conflicts and undesirable or unnecessary overcrowding of functions, all campus groups must submit the pro- posed dates of their activities to this committee for approval. Contracts for orchestras, caterers, speak- ers, entertainers or the like, or for Univer- sity facilities such as the gym, Moyse Hall, or the McGill Union may not be entered into until authorization in writing, either in the Dates book or by letter, is received from the Dates Committee chair- man. A heavy programme of student activities occurred during the past year, and on the average there were over ten functions per day approved. These ranged in attend ance from executive meetings of four or live students to large informals with close to two thousand students in attendance.

A black blob of stone, three stories high, is often referred to as the Students, Union of McGill University. For the forty-odd years it has stood on this site, the Union has left its mark on countless students-and countless students have left their mark on the Union, on the walls, and in the rooms. The building is a veritable hub of activity from morning to night. From October to March, the Union is the centre of extra-curricular activities-social, cultural, and otherwise. At popular low prices, the Grillroom and Cafeteria serve the choicest meals to hundreds of students daily. The quality of Union food is famous throughout the city. Two cases of acute appendicitis have been reported this year. Next year's executive hopes to do better. Our beautifully decorated Ballroom has been the scene of many Model Parliaments where student orators have told the world what they thought of it, and, upon graduation, have had the world tell them right back. The smokers have been legendary, and, in the best interests of all, best they should remain so. Our dances have been the start of many boy and girl relationships. All in all, this year's executive can say it has been a good year. The Cafeteria was remodelled and redecorated, a steam-table was installed, magazine racks were pur- chased, minor damages were repaired, and the executive hopes to pass. And when the dreams of a new Union are finally fulfilled, we sincerely believe that the spirit of this black blob of stone at Sherbrooke and Victoria Streets will live on though its heart resides in a newer abode.

Lafontaine. 9 i scarlet key , The Scarlet Key is the sole honorary men's organization on the campus. This marks the twenty-seventh year of service since its founding in 1924. Its members are elected by the student body at large, from all faculties and schools, and are appointed for outstanding service to the University, academically, athletically, or through the medium of some student club or organization. The Key's function is to act as the official host to all guests of the University. Since its birth at McGill, sixteen colleges have requested copies of the Society's Constitution in order to form similar bodies on their own campuses. Increased activities and success in general have been enjoyed by the Society this year. Official host
