UNION DEFICIT DIMINISHES.

The report of the outgoing treasurer of the Union shows a decrease in the deficit to less than one-third its size last year; and this is in spite of smaller receipts. Various house economies have been made, especially in the lighting bill, through the installation of mazda lamps. Moreover, the service offered has been somewhat improved; and a more attractive series of lectures given. For all of this last year's management is to be congratulated.

But the Union problem is still unsolved. Membership and receipts have been further diminished, and much of the recent saving has been due to postponing needed repairs. Mr. Clark takes up a difficult task, and he will need all the undergraduate support available.
