The Idol: Union's literary magazine invites literary necromancers of all shapes, forms and talents to help feed this year's beast. Three issues will be forthcoming, and all writers of poetry and fiction are urged to submit their material for publication to the magazine itself, or for informal discussion, to the weekly workshop meetings. Photographs and other art work are also solicited.
Mountebanks: The oldest continually operating student theater organization in the country; open to anyone interested in getting involved in any aspect of the theater, on- and off-stage.
Union College Choir: The choir was founded in 1985 to carry on the fine choral singing begun by the former Men's and Women's Glee Clubs. The group prepares major choral works and standard repertoire for choir, performing at exchange concerts as well as on tours of the U.S. and abroad. The choir is a group of active singers who look forward to a future of continued success. Any interested men or women should contact the Arts Department (x6202).
