University College Women HE Womenis Undergraduate Association began its activities last fall with the Freshie Weekend . . . two days of parties, luncheons and campus tours with Seniors . . . all designed to help the Freshie orientate herself at her new Alma Mater. The two biggest social events of the year at University College are the Folliesv, the college show, and the Arts Ball, the collegeis annual formal dance. Both these functions are under the joint direction of the Women's Undergradu- ate Association and the Literary and Athletic Society. The Follies, features original songs and skits and is produced by an all-student cast. The Arts Ball, held this year at the Royal York, up- held the old U.C. tradition for successful Qand romanticj dances. , Speaking of tradition, the annual Soph-Frosh Banquet with its torch-passing ceremony was held last fall and once again thrilled every Sophomore and Freshman who participated. The banquet was held in the college and was ably convened by the second year presidents. The third year presidents of the W.U.A. and the Lit. work together to arrange the Red and - in . '. - .wi ln 5' L? u.. .4 - . S Undergraduate Association White Nights which are quarterly events at Uni- versity Gollege. They are informal parties with dancing, lots of fun, refreshments and usually a special attraction . . . the executive elections, for instance, are announced at the last Pied and White Night every year. Girls at U.C. have definite ideas and they are not afraid to express them. This fact has been proven time and again at the Portia Debates. These debates are organized by the Literary Director of the W.U.A. and girls from all years may participate. Prizes are awarded to the win- ning team. Another activity in which the VV.U.A. partici- pated this year was a party for University Settle- ment children. The party was given at Christ- mastime for about seventy children who spent the afternoon swimming and playing, then had supper just before Santa Claus arrived with presents for everyone. All in all the W.U.A. has had a busy year. No amount of writing could ever cover every aspect of it nor express the fun and satisfaction that one has working for it. 23

University College Literary HE University College Literary and Athletic Society, commonly known as the Lit, is the student government for the men of University College, and its membership includes all the men of UC. The business of the Society is carried on through the Open Meetings, held regularly during the year, which all the members of the Society are free to attend, and where they can vote. The heterogeneous nature of the Col- lege is reflected in the tone and accomplishments of the Lit. The functions of the Lit are wide and en- compass all the activities, cultural, athletic, and social, which concern the men of the College. Along with the WUA the Lit sponsors and super- vises all co-ed activities such as the Follies, the Arts Ball, Bed and White Nights, and the UC clubs. 22 and Athletic Association The Lit, however, has never felt that its re- sponsibility ends at the college level. Because it is the oldest student government, in the oldest, and most representative college in the University, the Lit has always assumed its right to voice its opinion on any matter in which it thinks the students of the University should have an interest. Because of the heterogeneity and tradition of the College, because of its university-wide interests, this voicing of opinions has always been on a broad basis, and the Lit has consequently re- ceived a great deal of criticism. This, however, is unlikely to change the attitude of the Lit. During the past year, the Lit has felt more and more that it seems to be the only student society which will voice the opinions of students, whether these opinions be right or Wrong.
