Carter TUDENT activities are very often carefully scrutinized by academic authorities in an attempt to estimate their place and value in the scheme of higher education. Dramatic societies have rarely been adversely commented upon from this standpoint. Drama has its place in the cur- ricula of several of the most important depart- ments of the University system and it is a vital art form in the life to today. It is thus proper and inevitable that it be recognized by the work of organized dramatic societies functioning in the vari- ous faculties. ln United Colleges Dramatics, as it is handily called, has had a long and excellent record. It has been the aim to produce plays that are technically sound and interesting, as well as literature. Succes- sive executives have endeavored to maintain and to contribute to a tradition whose ideal it is to pro- duce good plays well. Page One Hundred and Nine R266

UNITED STUDENT COUNCIL NITED Colleges have been very fortunate to have Senior Stick O. Handford Hibbert guiding the destinies of the Student Council this year. Red has discharged his duty faith- fully and well, he has promoted ar United feeling in our college activities and has endeavored to lend his co-operation as much as possible to the Uni- versity of Manitoba. The Student Council has complete and absolute control over every branch of student activity. In the council are representative members of the various years and the faculty. Executive organizations in charge of athletics. dramatics. debating. social and literary, Vox, Brown and Gold, etc., are strictly responsible to the council. The work of the council has been more than ever increasingly diiiicult this year. due to the fact that the registration has increased to almost unmanage- able limits. but owing to the untiring and unceasing efforts of every member of the council. every line of activity has been carried on smoothly and efiiciently. and now as we look back over the year's activity. we can honestly say that United Colleges has passed through one of the most successful years in its history. The treasurer's report indicates that financially the year has been a success also, and that there is a substantial sum left to hand over to the next council. While primarily the work of the council is to foster activities among its own students. it does DOI overlook the fact that with its sister faculties it must contribute to the success of the University, and every effort is made in every line of activity to take a part in interfaculty affairs.

How to live is one of our greatest problems. the Christian philosophy of life as lived bv Jesus Christ throws an ever radiant light on the solution. As for movement-we opened our fall term with a well attended Freshmen Reception followed this up by the organization of efhciently led study groups. Later in the year we spent an enjoyable evening listening to a report on the Pacific Area Conference held last June in BC. A hike out in St. Vital with the accompanying bean supper and talks on the Buffalo Conference has been our major event thus far this spring. A plan to participate in several firesicle groups is under way. University S.C.M. suppers and gatherings have been well attended and we are looking forward to the Spring Camp. HE Co-ed Executive. as the year comes to an end. reviews its activities for 1931- 32. A new social event in the form of a girls' din- ner opened the lall term. Early in the second term a novelty silver increased the funds. The special feature of the closing spring term is the entertain- ment for the graduates-the final function. The success of Co-ed endeavors has been due to the co-operation and enthusiasm of the girls, The executive greatly appreciates the support it has re- ceived and has enjoyed the work it has shared with the girls.
