THE UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA STUDENTS' UNION GOOD poem must have a beginning, a middle and an end: a good organization a purpose, a machinery, and a personnel. The U.M.S.U. would claim to be a good organization. lVhat then, is its Purpose? The purpose of the University of Manitoba Students' Union is to make one articulate Whole the variegated student body, varied in location, tradition, outlook and racial descent-of that University which ranks third in size in Canada, which boasts the names of Allen. Buller, and Lodge, to mention no others: and which is achieving among universities an individuality Worthy of earnest cultivation. This end it is the purpose of the U.M.S.U. to achieve by devel- oping in the student mind a realization of the student possessing a definite status in society, with defenite privileges, and corresponding delinite responsibilities. What is the Machinery? The machinery of the U.M.S.U. is the council which controls all U.M.S.U. finance, and by means of its sub-committees and publications carries on those activities, social and intellectual, which on the one hand prevent the student from becoming a book- worm, and on the other hand from being a social butterfly or a beefy athlete. The loyalty which lubri- cates it is the loyalty of its members. IVhar, finally, is its Personnel? Those Whose pictures are to be found in the U.lVl.S.U. section of this volume are only the official personnel of the U.lVl.S.U. The true personnel of the U.lVl.S.U. is the faculty student body, and in it the individual student. The University of Manitoba Students' Union is not a detached and self-centred executive, it is the student body, it is an idea of unity based on the common basis of student fellowship incarnate in the student body, and active for the student good.

Ynumanns ll Mclienzie rl t ompt' r HE S.C.M. at the Agricult- ural College is one of the four major committees which handle student affairs. Its contribution to college life has not only been through the sponsoring of successful social events. but primarily through three major projects. Study groups Linder the leadership of well chosen leaders have proven extremely interesting and most educational, Sunday evening services with people from vari- ous walks of life as speakers have been enlighten- ing and informative. A valuable addition to these services has been the group singing and special music by various members of the student body. NE of the most pleasing ieatures of the past season has been the number of students from M.A.C, who have ably represented the University in various branches of athletics.
