PAGE EIGHUT TIIE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, GIANT-MAKING: Activities Offer Campus Fame' Friends' Plans Workshop AP Pi T UE NEWS (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first In a series of articles to acquaint students with some of the influen- tial organizations on campus and how memberssand officers are chosen.) By PETER HOTTON The large number of students on campus pose a real problem to those who want to make a name for themselves while at the University. But anyone can gain fame, only there's one hitch-it takes work- and a lot of it. * * * A PERSON can become a cam- pus giant if he applies himself, and gives up all thoughts of doing homework for the last two years of his college career. He can start on the long rough road in the sec- ond semester of his freshman year, when he becomes eligible and if he can keep a two-point average. He can get into almost any organization from The Daily to the Union staff; most have a "tryout" period during whiah he learns the ropes of his Job. The term "tryout" here is mis- leading-it signifies an actual working member rather than one who goes through a trial period to qualify for his job. After getting a start, the aspir- ant climbs, sometimes quite rapid- ly, up the ladder through his sophomore and Junior years, until he has emerged as president, chairman or biggest "wheel" of his particular organization, if he can stay in school. Student Affairs. Perhaps the most influential and powerful student groups on campus, the Student Affairs Com- mittee has the final say on stu- dent matters not falling under jurisdiction of the Boards in Control of Student Publications or Intercollegiate Athletics. The Committee, revised in June of 1946, is made up of 13 mem- bers, seven of whom are students. The students become members automatically through working up to their high offices, consid- ered by faculty members of the Committee to be the loftiest .stu- dent positions on campus. POSITIONS high enough to warrant Committee membership are managing editor of The Daily, president of Student Legislature, presidents of the Union and League, presidents of Men's and Women's Judiciaries and a wom- at Student Legislator chosen by the SL cabinet and approved by the Legislature. * * * Student Legislature .. . 'TM+"o of the mmber a m from otudeot Legislature, which pro- Vues any persistent stuent wic the charCce to Jump from a nobody to a campus politico via elections, held each fall and spring. After struggling with a 150- name'petition to get on the ballot, the budding aspirant must then contend with 50 or 60 other can- didates in a two-week open-house session, during which they drop 'Virtually all homework. * .* * ELECTION NIGHT is the hope- ful's happy climax or ignoble downfall, depending on his elec- tion or defeat. But either way, as one female candidate said of the last election night: "It's hell, believe me." Once the hard-working stu- dent gets on the Legislature, he just begins his work, attending three-hour meetings every two weeks and serving on one of SL's six standing committees or extra subcommittees. One can be a nonentity on the Legislature, too. But one of the ways to prevent this is to work for the "Valhalla" of a committee chairmanship. * * * THE CABINET makes the choices, according to the aspirant's ability and how much time he can spare. The Legislature has the fi- nal say on who the cabinet choos- es- The cabinet, consisting of presi- dent, vice-president, two secretar- ies, treasurer and two members-at- large, has a little tougher time in its claim for fame. It must be elected by the Legislature at its election meeting, which will be the first Wednesday in January. * * * Michigan Daily.. .. One of the easiest organizations to get onto but among the hardest to work up on is the Daily, a mold- er as well as receiver of campus opinion. After a year and a half of re- porting and taking orders, the aspirant gets a chance to plug for junior staff positions-seven night editorships and seven assistant night editorships. . * * THE NIGHT EDITOR has full charge of the entire paper one night a week, and the assistant night editor performs what his title indicates. Both serve as re- porters, as well. Appointments come just be- fore the end of the spring and fall semesters. At these times, the aspirant turns in his scrap- book of clippings to the senior editor-and, prays. That's all he has to do; the seniors do the appointing, subject to the ap- proval by the Board in Control of Student Publications. Senior editors (managing editor, city editor, editorial director and associate editors) who control the entire staff, face a more compli- cated problem at appointment time. * * * THEY MUST petition the Board in Control. After filling out posi- tions in 12 copies, one for each member of the Board and one for the files, they must go up before the Board for five-minute inter- views. In the interview the applicant must give his reasons for wishing to become a senior editor and tell what he'd do to improve the paper if he got the job. TOMORROW: IFC, AIM and Quad Councils. Increased Efficiency Helicopter blades are being developed of fiberglass to increase efficiency with smooth surface and rigidity. Work and play will be combined n the Christmas Workcamp at the Dlarence Cunningham farm, near Vandalia, Michigan. Sponsored by the Ann Arbor and Lansing Young Friends Fellowship, .he workeamp will meet from Sat- urday through Dec. 23. The workcamp's project, re- pairing a farmhouse donated to a family of displaced persons, will be supplemented by evening discussions, ice-skating and folk dancing. According to the Young Friends Fellowship, they are hoping for an international, inter-racial and in- ter-faith group of about 15. Old work clothes, ice skates, song books, musical instruments and books of poetry and devo- tions are the suggested items to be brought along. Those interested in participating in this project may register with Miss Carnie Bagnall, Grad, befor( Dec. 16, by calling 3-1102. The cost for the entire period will be $5.00, or $1.00 per day.
