The alumnae update includes information on the alumnae fair, detailing the various activities and prizes to be won during the event.

The newsletter also discusses how the new council on university education should determine universities' role, the role of fantasy as 'fuel of the future,' the fact that the Mount was invited to a meeting held by the Bedford Basin Branch of the Canadian Federation of University Women, and the support offered for raising funds for the Mount's Science Society. There are also sections on Mount faculty being keen on peace studies, the continued legacy of Greenham Commons, students named to the Dean's List, and a boy who wrote a letter to God asking for $100.00, which prompted a humorous response from the Prime Minister in which $1.00 was sent back. There is also an opinion piece on commentators on North American society, a dinner theatre at the Atlantic University Teachers of English Conference, female students hanging back from employment, faculty appointments to new positions, meetings attended, and public lectures, the opening of gallery exhibits by the Lieutenant-Governor, and a list of times for the presentation of Charles Schulz's musical 'Snoopy.'
