The Student Union of Mount A. is governed by the Students' Administrative Council (SAC). This is a body of elected and appointed persons who represent, organize, and plan for the interests of the students. All students taking more than 3 courses (full-time status) are members and pay the SAC commutation fee. However, the wider Mount A. community benefits from many of the activities the SAC pursues.

SAC represents the students through council; reps from on and off campus, and the five member executive, yet there are many other positions, appointed through the SAC that can allow any students the opportunity to get involved. (Many positions include small honoraria.) The SAC also employs an administrator and office manager to aid in the work of the SAC. The SAC is located in room 215 (second floor) of the University Center (commonly called STUD). Some of the services and events we provide include:

• Organizing ORIENTATION, HOMECOMING, WINTER CARNIVAL and participation with FLASHBACK (annual variety show)
• Photocopying and faxes (pay as you play)
• Examination File
• Student Directories and your Allisonian Yearbook

Students have wide spread representation on the campus, including membership on the Board of Regents (governing body) and Senate (academic body). Full-time students are also enrolled as members of the national student lobby group, the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) and the provincial counterpart CFS-New Brunswick.

Men's & Women's Intramural Councils
The students elected to these bodies organize the intramural program in which some 800 students participate annually. Teams are formed from the various residences and compete in such sports as flag-football, hockey, baseball, volleyball, basketball, and soccer.

The Argosy Weekly
This weekly newspaper has been published for over 125 years by an all-student staff. The newspaper is editorially independent of both the University administration and the student council.

CHMA FM 107
In 1985 the CHMA Radio Station was converted to FM Stereo frequency. Mount Allison is one of the smallest universities to have an FM radio station. The staff (from the announcers to the technicians) is composed mainly of students and members of the University community, all working under a full-time Station Manager. The Station is funded by students fees and advertising revenues and reaches a listening audience of over 15,000.

Garnet And Gold Society
The Garnet and Gold Society offers students a chance to take part in the production of a major musical. Students coordinate all aspects of the production, which is usually presented early in the new year.

Windsor Theatre
This theatre group puts on major productions each term. In addition, lunch time theatre and monthly productions, often written by members of the Mount Allison community, are also offered.

Student Activities Office
This branch of the S.A.C. co-ordinates all campus entertainment. In addition to the usual dances, movies, live bands, and cultural performances, a number of popular special events are also offered. These include Orientation Week, Homecoming, Junior Prom, Winter Carnival and Graduation events.

Residence Council
All students living in the University's various residences elect house councils and executives. These bodies organize house events and co-ordinate social activities. Each House Council President sits on Residence Council, a body which represents residential concerns to the Dean of Students and organizes the very popular inter-residences activities.

The Tantramarsh Club
The campus pub, established in 1974, is a vital place for social gatherings. The pub is the only permanently licensed facility on campus and offers to its members a giant T.V. screen, pool tables, a dance floor and weekly special events.

Student Employment
Part time job opportunities are plentiful at Mount Allison. Students may earn extra income through employment with Food Services, the Campus Police force, Residence Staff, Bar Services and the Tantramarsh Club.
