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

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.

The Red Wings, are the official hostesses of the University, assisting at such functions as Convocation, Choral Society concerts, football games, election day scrutineering, Athletics Nights and the Red and White Revue. They are also on hand to welcome visitors of the University and are much in evidence during Freshman Reception week. The Society is composed of twenty-two members who hold office for two years, and two honorary members. Their uniform is the regulation McGill blazer with the Red Wing Crest and a white skirt. Each girl on com- pletion of thirty assignments is awarded a white blazer. These white McGill blazers are exclusive to the Red Wings, and it is considered a great honour to be able to wear one. The Red Wings, since their humble beginning as an entertainment committee., have succeeded in building for themselves such a reputation for dependability and efficiency that they have become a widely respected group on the campus.
