=== The JCR, MCR, and Old Taberdar's Room === The [[Common room (university)|Junior Common Room]] (JCR) consists of the collective body of undergraduates at the college, and also refers to the room under the same name, located in the Back Quad, which is the only common room in the college that cannot be booked. The JCR is not to be confused with the JCR General Committee, which consists of all members of the Executive Committee, Equalities Committee, and Welfare Committee, all presidents of college societies and the president of the ball committee, as well as the Academic & Careers Representative, Access and Outreach Representative, Food Representatives, Environment & Ethics Representatives, Student Union Representatives, Stash Representative, Charities Representative, Webmasters, Arts Representative, Antisocial Secretary (a position passed on in a 'hereditary' manner through one's 'College family'), Warden of the Beer Cellar, and the Keeper of the Boars, Bees, and Eagles. The Middle Common Room (MCR) refers to the postgraduates of the college. Like the JCR, the MCR have an Executive team, which includes the President, Victualler, Vice-President Secretary, Treasurer, Social Secretary, SCR Liaison Officer, LGBTQ+ Officer, Welfare Officer, Environment and Charities Representative, IT Officer, Sports Secretary, Oxford SU Representative, First Year Representative, and Entz Representative (the last four positions being empty as of 2020).<ref>{{Cite web|title=Members {{!}} The Queen's MCR {{!}} University of Oxford|url=https://mcr.queens.ox.ac.uk/the_mcr/members|access-date=6 October 2020|website=mcr.queens.ox.ac.uk|archive-date=27 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201227183126/https://mcr.queens.ox.ac.uk/the_mcr/members|url-status=live}}</ref> The MCR and JCR will often liaise with one another in order to organise events in the college.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}} The Old Taberdar's Room is a room unique to Queen's, described by the college as: ''a traditional wood-panelled room, furnished with comfortable sofas and chairs. The room is ideal as a lounge space or for informal discussion based session''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Old Taberdars' Room|url=https://www.queens.ox.ac.uk/old-taberdars-room|access-date=2020-10-06|website=The Queen's College, Oxford|archive-date=1 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201001200837/https://www.queens.ox.ac.uk/old-taberdars-room|url-status=live}}</ref> It is open for use by all members of the college, though it is possible to book it for events such as welcome drinks, pre-dinner drinks, student production rehearsals, and society meetings. A Taberdar is specifically "a holder of a scholarship at Queen's College, Oxford".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Taberdar definition and meaning {{!}} Collins English Dictionary|url=https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/taberdar|access-date=6 October 2020|website=collinsdictionary.com|archive-date=27 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210427123134/https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/taberdar|url-status=live}}</ref>
