Congress s
Independent
en's Group
Congress, Independent Men's As-
soiation, is a service organization
for independent men. Any inde-
pendent is automatically a mem-
ber of Congress as long as he re-
mains unaffiliated.
Its aims are mainly associated with
plans for service. Members of Con-
gress realize that it is only through
organization that the independents
can gain recognition and the power
rightfully theirs. The purpose of
Congress is to organize independents
and give them their rights and privi-
leges through service and social
functions.
The constitutency of Congress
comes from three groups, the dormi-
tories, rooming houses and the co-
operative houses. Each of these has
its representative body. Besides these
groups various committees coordin-
ate activities (e.g. sports, social, ac-
tivities, organization, student wel-
fare, scholarship and personnel.)
Representatives from each of the
above three groups and heads of
the various committees mentioned
above all sit on the Executive Coun-
cil, which is the ultimate govern-
ing body.
Any scholastically eligible inde-
pendent men who is interested of
actively participating in the functions
of Congress are asked to drop in
at Room 306 of the Union any after-
noon and speak to the Congress re-
presentative in charge.

PhiBeta Kappa
Retains Strict
Requirements
Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest of all
Greek letter secret societies, was or-
ganized at the college of William
and Mary on December 6, 1776. The
belief of the founders that a know-
ledge of the basic laws which govern
the universe is necessary to good
living Was reflected both in their
motto and in the character of their
meetings. These were in great part
given over to a discussion of the
problems which affect humanity.
The Michigan Chapter was found-
ed in 1907. Keeping in mind the pur-
pose of the Society, the recognition
and encouragement of scholarship
and cultural interests, the student
Elections Committee makes a care-
ful study of the entire University
record of each possible candidate
'with a view to determining as far as
is humanly possible the student's
standing both scholastically and as
a citizen. The standards set are high
and the relatively. small numbers
elected each year bears witness to the
care with which they are observed.
Since Phi Beta Kappa has been, from
the beginning, an organization which
functioned in the field defined by the
old cultural college course, elections
are restricted to Juniors and Seniors
of the College of Literature, Science
and the Arts, Seniors in the School of
Education and to candidates for ad-
vanced degrees in the Graduate
School, who meet the extremely
rigid requirements.
Tau Sigma Delta Honors
Architectural Stgudents
Tau Sigma Delta is an international
honorary fraternity in architecture
and the allied arts. Its aim is to pro-
duce men fit for the profession of
architecture both by virtue of their
professional training and their con-
cept of the duty toward society on
the part of architects. The belief
that architecture is much more than
a technical profession led to the or-
ganization of Alpha chapter of Tau
Sigma Delta at Michigan in 1913
