You must have an all-college 2 point average and a 2 point the term preceding your election to be eligible for any office, or to be elected as a Queen. You must maintain a 2 point all-college average during your term of office. If you fall below an all-college 2 point average, you are honor bound to tender your resignation. These regulations are similar to those which are followed in other Big Ten schools. They are de signed to foster your effectiveness both academi cally and in your extra curricular activities. To serve as an officer or to be honored as a Queen is a reward of merit. Records Each term you will be asked to bring your list of activities up to date on an Activities Card. Be sure to list all your activities because they will serve you well. While you are in school, they will serve as references for organizations such as Tower Guard, Mortar Board, sororities and others when they are seeking women eligible for membership. This information will be sent to the Advisor of A.W.S., in the Dean of Students office at the end of each school year to be kept on file . and to serve as reference material. Your future employers will be interested in your extra curricular activities as well as your academic record. Don't be a joiner just for the sake of listing your memberships in the Wolverine. Limit your activit ies to those organizations you are really interested in and really work for them, and you will contri_ bute to your own growth as well as to the growth and strength of the organization. Whatever you do, may your goal be to do it well. 9 Constitution of A. W. s. ARTICLE I NAME AND OBJECTIVE Section 1.
