THE MICHIGAN DAILY '- PROFI LE: (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the_ second in a continuing series of Ecniors who have led major stu- dent organizations this year.) I MYRA GOINES I By JUDITH BLEER There is a satisfaction which does not necessarily come to a person along With glory and recog- nition. It is an inner gratification which evolves whether or not others realize what you've accomplished. As the year progressed and her duties allowed her less and less time of her own and placed more and more strain upon her, Assem- bly Association President Myra Goines became convinced she must keep ever aware of this philosophy. Her quite persistence is im- mediately apparent to all who work with her. "Myra is not the 'glitter type' leader," Elsie Fuller, Assistant Dean of Women in charge of housing, and Assembly Association sponsor, remarks. "But thoughtfully, intelligently and quietly she always succeeds in getting a lot done." "Just having people know you means nothing," Myra says. ization where nothing spectacular usually happens. A lot of good work very often goes unnoticed, but then 'that's life'." A person's immediate goals are always tempered by his long range plans, Myra thinks. "If he knowsi exactly what occupation he wants when he comes to college, he has something to work for academic- ally." "It's been hard for me because I've never really known what I wanted to do. Of course, I like to get good grades, but a four-point? What kind of a goal is that?" Myra has been thinking about the possibility of graduate school and a career in law. "Actually," she admitted, "I'm extremely ;n- terested in political science. But I must be realistic. Very few wo- men are successful working for the government. Usually they end up as typists." 'Really Shy' Myra admits that she is not the most gregarious, outgoing ;er- son. "When I came up as a fresh- man I was really shy," she recalls. She was hesitant to join group activities, Susan Newton, '61N, who roomed with her during her first two years at the University, says. "Myra wanted to make the adjustment to the academic side of college life first. When she felt secure in her role as a student, 6he branched out into other aspects of college life." Myra got into Assembly through personal contact. "They approach- led me. I had been interested, but I was frightened." same time their interest in aca- demics, she feels, is growing more idealistic. Women no longer only come to college for grades. She stresses that extra-curri- cular interests are very important. "There's an activity on this cam- pus for everyone." "There are a few people--not very many-who can be tops in both academics and activities," Myra says. "But on the whole I think activities are helpful rather than harmful to the devoted st'"- dent. If you're organized you have enough time for both." The type of activity one Joins varies witl the individual. "I nave never been particularly interested in taking an active role in house activities; I would rather work on MYRA GOINES ... quiet persistence To her this is a superficial goal. "It's knowing that you're really helping that counts in the long run.

Most People Most people need to be encour- aged, to be drawn into an activity, she feels. "I admire girls who come out and talk to you about running for an office or being appointed to a position." Myra realizes that one of the most important functions any or- ganization has is to recruit the potential leader. "Sometimes you Just have to push people a little." "Then, too, we're especially pleased with the quality of rep- resentatives that we've had on the Assembly Dormitory Council this year." They seem to be much more aware of activities other than As- sembly than in past years she in- dicates. Communications remains as one, of ADC's major problems. In or- der fo rit to achieve success, ;ach representative must convey in- formation back to her house and encourage women to participate in worthwhile campus activities. "That's why we're pushing for better ADC reps," Myra says. "Unfortunately the distribution of board members was not good this year," she added. .Seven of the ten women on the Assembly Board reside in Martha Cook Bldg.) "But this rarely happens and we are sure to have a better representation next year., Dteffinite Indications In spite of the difficulties in this area, there are definite in-, dications, according to Myra, that women on campus are becoming. more activity-oriented. At the MYRA GOINES ... Assembly president campus-wide functions," she notes Isabel Quail, house .director of Martha Cook, where Myra .has lived for the past year,.remarked that the Assembly president's out- side activities leave her little time for participation in house affairs. At the same time she is impressed by Myra's "ability to meet each situation with mature judgment and her tact and cnostructive co- operation." Myra is determined to avoid mediocrity. "She has an extremely critical eye for her own work," Miss Newton relates. "She's not the kind who just sits around and complains, and she avoids doing only the satisfactory." 'Tremendous Ability' At the same time, Miss Newton says, she does not fall into the pitfalls of many enthusiastic leaders. "Her tremendous abitity for warmth and her 'contempor- ary-cardish' sense of humor help her through her trials as an ad- ministrator." Former Panhellenic Association President Barbara(Greenberg par- ticularly admires Myra's willing- ness and cooperation. "We started out on the wrong foot," she re- calls, "but Panhellenic and As- sembly have grown closer this year than ever before." "We are actually working for the same objectives," Myra says.
