and national levels, with University
policy and practice remaining the
major focus of concern. Contact LGB

nient housing. Co-ops are owned and
run by the members who live in them
- not landlords or the University.
They are economical and convenient
because members share the work nec-
essary to run them. By Pira Debeck.

AIESEC
benefits from
international
cooperation
By JASON JARJOSA
AIESEC (pronounced "eye sek")
is the largest student-run organiza-
tion in the world, operating at more
than 650 universities in 81 countries
across the globe. In the United States
alone, more than 70 universities have
AIESEC chapters.
What AIESEC provides to students
is international understanding and edu-
cation as well as practical business ex
perience through its many programs.
One of AIESEC's many opportu-
nities is the International Traineeship
Exchange Program (ITEP). AIESEC
provides major southeastern Michi-
gan companies, such as Chrysler Corp.
and Johnson Controls, with student
interns from any of our 81 countries.
In return, AIESEC members here at
the University have the opportunity
to attain an internship with a com-
pany abroad.
Through another of AIESEC's
programs, the Global Theme Program,
members organize and coordinate
community projects and seminars to
heighten awareness of global issues.
Our Global Leadership Seminar on
March 11 brought area high-school
students to the Business School for an
intense day discussing and proposing
solutions to the U.S. educational sys--
tem utilizing ideas from different edu *
cational systems around the world.
The Global Leadership Seminar was
a success as the students left with
more understanding and insight int
the positive and negative aspects of
their own education system by study-
ing those of other countries.
AIESEC members develop skilla
and knowledge by presenting the
AIESEC program to business and
external organizations, attending de-
velopmental seminars and courses by
AIESEC supporters such as Dal6
Carnegie and Priority Management
and participating in a mentorship pro-
gram that matches students with busi-
ness people in their field of interest
By constant interaction with the ex
ternal business community, attending
and organizing conferences and semi- .
nars, as well as being continually ex-,
posed to international issues and people,
AIESEC members are well-rounded
and better prepared for the global mar
ketplace they face upon graduation. -
Beyond its obvious benefits,
AIESEC is good friends and a good
time - just ask any of the 100-pus
members who currently take part in
one of the largest student groups op
campus, an organization that was r-
cently recognized as one of the belt
student groups by the Office of Stt
dent Affairs.
AIESEC's mass meeting for fall
term will be at 6 p.m. on Sept. 21 4t

ing. You can receive more information

Mortar Board is a nationally known honor society
recognizing and promoting the achievements of incoming
seniors in the areas of academic, student organizational
and community leadership. Nationally, Mortar Board was
founded in 1918 as the first honor society open to women,
remaining that way until 1975, when the first co-ed class
was initiated.
Students apply to Mortar Board during the second
semester of their junior year, and are voted on by the
current class of seniors in Mortar Board. Mortar Board
holds an important place among campus-wide honor
societies as well as all student organizations as it is the
only co-ed, active society that accepts applications from
anyone meeting the minimum GPA standard. In practice,
only those students with outstanding achievement in
academics and leadership are "tapped" to become mem-
bers of Mortar Board. More than 20 percent of those in
Mortar Board are also initiated into Phi Beta Kappa. In
addition, members are active leaders in University athlet-
ics, the Greek system, student government, community
service organizations and many other student organiza-
tions.
Mortar Board differs from other, purely honorary,
societies in that Mortar Board itself contributes to the
University community. Through its involvement in the
University Honors Convocation Ceremony, as well as the
Mentorship Program and the Emergency Support System,

Dorm residents find voice in
Residence Halls Association
By STACIA FEJEDELEM
Welcome to the University resi-
dence hall system. You are among a
huge family of more than 11,000 resi-
dents. As a member of that family,
you are granted membership into the
second largest student organization
on campus, the Residence Halls As-
sociation (RHA).
RHA is your voice in the resi-
dence halls. We are a liaison between
the residence halls, house councils,
and the Housing Division. It is our job
to represent student concerns to Hous-
ing, to provide programming for stu-
dents, to act as a financial resource to
organizations holding programs in the
residence halls and to serve as a pro-
gramming resource for resident staff.
Each resident pays a fee to support
RHA. I want to strongly urge you, as
a member of RHA, to become in-
volved in determining how your
money is spent. All meetings are open
to the public and we welcome the
participation of everyone interested.
Each residence hall has two vot-
ing representatives who are generally
chosen at the beginning of the school
year through the residence hall house
councils. While only two representa-
tives from each hall are granted vot-
ing privileges, all residents are enl.
couraged to express opinions on is
suds at RHA meetings.
Members of RHA sit on a variety
of campus-wide committees, includy
ing the Student Leader Board and the
Student Strategic Planning Advisory
Group. All members also have the
opportunity to attend several confer:
ences each year, learn leadership an4 4
meet active students from a range o*
schools. Get involved with RHA this
year; it's a great way to make a differt
ence. We hope to see you in the fall;
