PanHellenic Alternating 6 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 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. In case of doubt of status, students should inquire in the Stu dent Government Office. 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 y10ur 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. 7 Don't be a joiner just for the sake of listing your memberships 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 as to the growth in strength of the organization without re dudng 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 ele'cted leader ship positions for which you, as a woman student, can petition: Student Congress, elected from living units in spring teTm. A.W.S., elected from living units during winter term. Class Officers, elected by each class during spring term (Fleshman class officers are elected fall term.) Frosh-Soph Council, elected fall term by living units. These are the activities for which you can be elected. There are many more activities on campus for which you volunteer or rush. A.W.S. has many activities which welcome help at any time. Just contact your A.W.S. represe~tative or the A.W.S. office in the Union Building.

W .S.-for the convenience of women students-has compiled from various sources the five All-University Regulations about which there has been most demand for in formation. They are listed below: 1. "Any student possessing, consuming, or trans porting any alcoholic beverages-including beer on M.S.U. property will automatically be suspended from the university. This is a State Board of Agri culture ruling. (See current map in 'Motor Vehicle Code' for prope?·ty of M.S. U.) " ' I t is illegal in Michigan for minors (under 21) to purchase, consume, or possess intoxicating beverages or lor those over 21 years, of age it is illegal to drink such beverages in a car, on the highway, on public 39 property, or while trespassing on some one else's property. "No M.S.U. student may posse'ss or consume in toxicating bevera.ges in his off-campus housing unit or at any M.S.U. social activity whether it is on or off the campus." (See Rules of The Office of The Housing Director and those of the Faculty-Student Social Committee.) 2. "All unmarried, first-year students must reside in the residence halls or with their parents for at least one year at M.S.U. Any exceptions to this rule must be cleared through the Housing Director or the Dean of Students' Office." 3. "All women students who are under the age of 25 years must live in housing inspected and approved by the university." See the Helot, and the Rules of the Office of The Housing Director. 4. "Michigan State University stuQents are pro hibited from having members of the opposite sex in their unchaperoned living quarters." See Rules of The Office of The Housing Director. 5. The ringing of a false fire alarm at M.S.U. results in suspension because it places the safety and security of others in jeopardy. You will want to know that there are social rules and regulations which apply to M.S. U. social events for mixed groups (whether they are on or off the campus). Consult the social chairman of your resi dence hall or contact the Women's Division of Student Affairs (301 Administration Building) for special procedures. 40
