PRESIDENT'S OFFICE CThe Big Inchj Carabin exchanges as Well as viists of Toronto students to Cornell and the McGill Carnival. Another successful S.H.A.R.E. Campaign was operated by the Councilis W.U.S. Committee, under the able chairmanship of Bud Trivett QLawQ. Adding directly to cash contributions of the student body were the Roland Hayes Con- cert, chaired by Elizabeth -Scroggie QU.C.j, the Book Campaign, directed by Irene Wrgchtch CS.M.C.j, Parking receipts, and Band contest. lt is estimated that in all, over S7,000 was raised. The Publications Commission, chaired by Commissioner Ross Dyle QMedsj again took re- sponsibility for The Varsity, Torontonensis and the Handbook. The annual Varsity crisisv de- veloped this year over the abolition of the Sports Department by the editors, Messrs. Shepperd, Godfrey and Anderson, Medsmen all. Unani- mous wails of anguish arose from nearly every section of the campus, but while censoring the editors for the Way in which the action was taken, the Council refused to instructv the editors to return the Sports Page on the ground that the internal management of the paper was MR.

Next year's editors have committed themselves to a usportsv depart- ment. The Finance Commission, chaired by Gene Kurchak CEng.Q, experienced a comparatively easy year, largely because of excellent budgeting last spring. The elimination of the Sales Tax on Torontonensis, along with the refusal by the Department of Transport to grant a license to the students for a radio station which had already been budgeted, profits on the operation of the Blue and White Society and a fee from C.B.C. for the right to televise the All Varsity Revue, all resulting in a substantial surplus of 33,000 The proposed Russian student exchange again threatened to disrupt N.F.C.U.S. nationally. Quick action by S.A.C. and the generosity of U. of T. students brought much needed relief to flood ravaged areas of England and Holland, i v When it was turned down because of the threat of certain universities to secede, a vote was taken on this campus whether or not to stay with N.F.C.U.S. It was agreed not to Withdraw, but to investigate the possibility of sponsoring the exchange alone, or along with other universities. By the time action had been taken by all univer- sities, it was too late for any tour this year. It was agreed to press for a 81.00 fee for N.F.C.U.S. in order to provide the minimum income essential for an effective national organization. The Radio Committee had a rather diflicult year. Under the direction of jack Tinker fLawQ, a committee appointed by the 'Council last spring pressed for permission to proceed with wired radio, but to no avail. However, Bmce Dunlop, i N

In its program to provide assistance for the student body, the S.A.C. continued its employ- ment service, obtaining many thousand part- time jobs, operated the S.A.C. loan fund ffilling a very great need for many hundreds morej and again provided two S.A.C. scholarships which were awarded to students from the smaller centres of Northern Ontario.

CLawj presented a number of excellent dramas in the spring term over CKFH. The All Varsity Revue presented seven excellent performances and achieved special renown when the show was televised on CBLT. Credit is due to Bruce Snell QMusicQ for producing this outstanding campus show of the year. The Student Union Committee, well chaired by lack Love CArch. Q, altered its point of empha- sis during the year. The Chairman recommended abandoning plans for a dream unioni' for the present and instead presented plans for an S.A.C. Administration Building centered in the Old Observatory. This met with Council approval and though final word has yet to come from University Administration, there is every expec- tation that by Fall at least The Varsity and Torontonensis will be able to move their offices into this central location. The U.T.D.U. with Bob Iohnstone as chair- THE OFFENDER-Large Enough for a Law Suit man had a most successful year, highlighted by the winning of the Brading Debating Trophy. The Music Committee continued with the Carnegie Record hours and presented one con- cert for orchestra and chorus. Because of lack of student attendance, the second concert was can- celled. In an effort to provide continuity, Phyllis Graham CMusicD, Committee chairman, brought in the recommendation that instead of students, members of the staff of the Faculty of Music be appointed as conductors with membership com- pulsory for Music students not already in such organizations. Final decision on this is pending. A The Student Service Commission again spon- sored the Book Exchange, the Red Feather cam- paign and the Blood Donor drive. 310,109 was collected for Red Feather and Commissioner Dorothy Burton fMeds.

A TOUGH DECISION-New Quarters, Falconer Hall Another service was the European Flood Relief collection which was rapidly organized by the Council the weekend after the full tragedy of the floods became apparent. The general under- graduate collection was 31,900.11 in itself a tribute to Marion Hogarth QU.C. D, and the Coun- cil President, Bob Sutherland Clsawj, who did the lionis share of the organizing. An additional 31,000. was donated by Engineering students who organized their own fund. Among the many matters considered by the Council generally was the report of a committee on Council organization, and, on a lighter note, the cut of the oflicial Varsity blazers, and the flood of correspondence from a gentleman in Montreal who desired to sell head scarves bear- ing the U. of T. to women students. He made the scarves, but without the crest and threatened a lawsuit against The Varsity and demanded the purchase ot some 400 'leftoversi by the Council, all because of an innocent article objecting to their sale at the game in Montreal.
