Activities Beverly Roush A.W.S. Judiciary legislative 7 GREETINGS FROM THE CO-PRESIDENTS WE WELCOME }yOU to Michigan State Univer sity and to A.W.S. membership. Michigan State has a beautiful campus and also a very friendly campus it is your campus. A.W.S. is a part of the campus. - What does your A.W.S. do? To begin with, A.W.S. is composed of two boards, Activities and Judiciary jobs and Legislative. Each has its own specific functions. Activities Board is in charge of the Big Sister Program, Who's Who and What's What, STUN, and helps with Lantern Night, Activities Carnival, and the freshman orientation guide pro gram. These are your activities. The Judiciary-Leg islative Board provides guides for better living which are passed down and revised from year to year. It is of great importance to understand and familiarize yourself with these guides so that your campus life will be easier and happier. Our A.W.S. group belongs to the Intercollegiate A.W.S., or I.A.W.S. We send representatives to both the regional and national conventions. Here we meet with the other member colleges and universities across the country. From these meetings we bring back ideas to help to further improve our organiza tion. What are your responsibilities to A.W.S.? It is your responsibility to A.W.S. and to the university to learn to live co-operatively with other women stu dents and to further the friendly tradition of our campus. Feel free to take your problems and sugges tions to your A.W.S. representatives at all times we are here to serve you. In turn for our service we ask that you abide by the traditions and standards of our university. This will give added pride to M.S.U. Remember that you are the A .W.S. Again we wel come you to our school and we wish you a successful and happy year. Sue Porter A.W.S. Activities Beverly Roush A.W.S. Judiciary-Legislative 8 STU DENT ACTIVITI ES 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 and must be carrying at least 12 credits to be eligible for any office or to be elected as a Queen. You must maintain a 2 point all-college average during your If you fall below an all-college 2 term of office. point average during your term of office, you are honor hound to tender your resig n ation. In case of doubt of status, students should inquire in the Stu dent Government Office. These regulations are similar to those which a re 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 of Your Activities: Each term you will be asked to bring your list of activities up to date on an Activities Card which is kept on file with the cards of your housemates. 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 other organiza tions when they are seeking women eligible for membership. This information will be sent to the Advisors 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 employ ers will be interested in your extra curricular activi ties as well as your academic record. 9 Don't be a joiner just for the sake .of listing your membe.rships in the Wolverine. If you limit your activities to those organizations in which you are really interested and really work for them, you will contribute to your own growth as well a s to the growth in strength of the organization without re ducing your academic achievement. Whatever you do, may your goal be to do it well. It is not so much how much we do, but how we do it that really counts. Activities for you: Following are the possible campus elected leader ship positions for which you, as a woman student, can petition: Student Congress, elected from living units in spring term.
