Judiciary-Legisla tiv,e 8 Student Activities Eligibility Are you taking part in any extra curricular ac tivities? Then take a look at the eligibility rulings of Student Congress. You must have an all-college 2 point average 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 during your term of office, you are honor bound to tender your resignation. These regulations are similar to those which are followed in other Big Ten schools. They are design ed to foster your effectiveness both academically 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 to date on an Activities Card of activities up which is kept on the cards of your file with housemates. Be sure to list all your activities be cause they will serve you well. While you are in school they will serve as references for organiza tions such as Tower Guard, Motar Board, sorori ties and others when they are seeking women eli gible for membership. This information will be sent to the Advisor's 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 9 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. If you limit your activities to those organizations you are really interested in and really work for them, you will contribute to your own growth as well as to the growth in strength of the organization with out reducing your academic achievement. What ever you do, may your goal be to do it well. It is not so much how much we do as how we do it that really counts. 10 Constitution of lI. W. .s. ARTICLE I NAME AND OBJECTIVE Section 1.
