Activitie, Board provides service to lVLS.U. women through its coordination of women's adivities, and participation in all-university functions. Judiciary Legislative Board promotes a representative form of se~f-government and reflects accepted standards of conduct for M.S.U. women. Your living unit elects representatives to these Boards every winter term. Their names are listed on the following two pages. "Judic" and Activities Boards can operate in your interests only if you indicate your problems and s end your suggestions to them through these repre sentatives.

You will find more and more that you, as an individual, will be measured by your ability to adapt to these standards.

Then take a look at the eligibility rulings of Student Congress. You must have an all-university 2 point average and must be carrying at least 12 credits to be eli gib!e for any office or to be nominated as a Queen. You must maintain a 2 point all-university average during your term of office and also during the term previous to your election. If you fall below an all university 2 point average during your term of office, you are honor bound to tender your resig nation. In case of doubt of status, students should inquire in the Student Government Office. These regulations are similar to those which are followed in other Big Ten schools. They are de signed to foster your effectiveness both academically and in your extracurricular 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 f ile 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, Morta·r Board, sororities and other organiza tions when they are seeking women eligible for membership. This information will be sent to the Women's Division of Student Affairs, 101 Student Services 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. 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 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 well we do it that really counts.

Discretion and good taste in language, dress and general stand ards of conduct in and out of the living unit are the marks of an educated person. These reflect consid eration for other residents and promote the possibil ity of the maximum use of the educational oppor tunity. Accumulation of late minutes represents a lack of thoughtful consideration and respect for the rights and privileges of others, and withdrawing from them their proper share of freedom. As a reminder of their responsibilities for self-manage ment is the following code of conduct: "As a stu dent at Michigan State University, I am a member of the Associated Women Students. I will make myself personally responsible for knowing the rules and standards of A .W.S. and my Residence and will strive to uphold them to the best of my ability. I shall endeavor to set for myself a pattern of social standards which will be becoming to a college woman for present and future community living." These rules apply to all university residences', sorority houses, and off-campus approved housing, inclusively. Infractions of regulations are referred to the Judiciary-Legislative Board of A.W.S. While the late minute is the standard penalty for infractions of house regulations, such a s' noise, unmade beds, late returning, etc., standards com mittees are urged to deal constructively and posi tively with these occurrences. Each student may submit a written statement of the fact to the Board. The Board shall then use its discretion in trying any cas'e and deciding the penalty. If the student is dissatisfied with the de cision of the Judiciary-Legislative Board, ,she may re-appeal her case at the next meeting. At any time, the student , has the privilege of appearing before the board to appeal her case. A girl petitioning A.W.S. may secure a petition from her housemother or from the Women's Di vision located in the Student Services Building. She 21 must have her petition in at the Women's Division office by 11:30 A.M. of the Tuesday immediately following her offense. An automatic 5 late minutes will be given for late petitioning. Your living unit representative (named on pages 5 and 6) is thel·e to help you. See this Representative for any interpretation or questions concerning the A.W.S. Rules. 1. GENERAL RULES A. Record of late minutes will be kept by the housemother. An accumulation of 15 late minutes during the term requires that the g~rl be automatically room campused (see page 32, sec. a) for one week-end night, and that she make up her time as follows: 1.

Third accumulation of 15 late minutes: the girl must petition the A.W.S. Ju diciary-Legislative Board. C. B.

This is a State Board of Trustees ruling. (See current map in 'Motor Vehicle Code' for property of M.S.U.) ." It is illegal in Michigan for minors (under 21) to purchase, consume, or possess intoxicating beverages or for those over 21 years of age it is illegal to drink such beverages in a car, on the highway, on public property, or while trespassing on some one else's property. "Ne M.S ,U, student may possess or consume in toxicating beverages in his off-campus housing unit or at any M,S.U. social activity whether it is on 01' off the campus," (See Rules of The Office of The Hou sing' Director and those of the Faculty-Student Social Committee,) 2.
