The College Union, as a Union of Fellows, graduates and undergraduates, has the task of "furthering the corporate life of the College". At the start of 1975 an important new means to this end became available, with the opening of the Junior and Middle Common Rooms in Cripps Court. The new bar increased its sales enormously, showing how quickly it became a centre of students' social life. Snack food was made available, greatly improved in quality and variety during the year, and this no doubt added to the bar's popularity. The College Union continued to finance the activities of all the Amalgamated Clubs. Fourteen different sports were organised within the College, and people taking part in activities not organised at College level were able to obtain from the Union a rebate on University club subscriptions. Other, nonsporting societies continued to flourish. The St Bernard Society was brought back to life, and the most recent application to join the Amalgamated Clubs came from the College's tiddlywinks players. Food in Hall was again one of the most contentious issues of the year. No one wanted to end the tradition of communal eating in Hall. The discontent was over the compulsory system of charging for meals, which had to be eaten in very crowded conditions and which, because the old kitchens were still being used, were often poorly cooked. One day, hopefully, with the new kitchens and dining hall due to open in Cripps Court, the College will come together to eat because the food is good and the tables are not too crowded, not because of financial compulsion. Throughout the year the College Union tried to operate as a medium of dialogue between undergraduates, graduates and Fellows on a great variety of issues. These ranged from purely administrative matters, such as the allocation of rooms and putting refrigerators in gyp rooms, to issues of great importance such as co-residence or the plans to publish a directory of jobs abroad for students waiting to come up to Queens'. Towards the end of the year the College Union took a major part in the debate on the future of the Cambridge Students Union, which was crippled by debt and supported by few students or colleges.
