Over 800 students work on the special committees that plan social activities taking place in some room of the Ulini Union building almost every day. Directing these committees is the Illini Union Board, composed of twelve students d six faculty members. The Board is responsible for th administration of "programs which serve the cultural, educational, recreational, and social interests of the general student body." Ten years ago the Board sponsored a sing] program; this year it will sponsor thirty-eight. But all the student activities that take place in the Illini Union building are not sponsored by the Illini Union Hoard. Its facilities are used by all student organizations for their formal dances, business meetings, banquets,or special events. The Student Senate. Interfraternitv Council. Men's Independent Association. Panhellenic ( wncil, Women's Group System. Star Course, and Campus Chest have their offia on the third floor. A typical Illini I n i on-sponsored program is the Thursda)

afternoon Coffee Hour, a time and place tor students and

faculty to get together informally. The spontaneit) of a Dccembei Coffee Hour, for example, might he heightened when students "trim-a-limb" of the Union's ladder-high Christmas tree singing carols and attractin onlook s i join in the holida) spirit.
