Athletic Association and Pan-
hellenic Association positions in
the League Undergraduate Of-
fice (opposite the elevator on"
first floor). Petitions for WAA
offices are also available at Bar-
bour Gymnasium.

STEP 2: Since experience is not
necessary for most positions,
students are urged to consult
The President's Reports volumes
containing a detailed report of
all positions along with sugges-
tions for the future. Available
for consultation in the League
library (third floor), the books
are collections of individual re-
ports of previous office holders.

of the League Interviewing and
Nominating Committee stresses
the importance of talking with
students now in office. Mass
meetings, open houses and cof-
fee hours are scheduled by all
organizations especially for this
purpose. The League interview-
ing committee will also hold of-
fice hours for students who
would like additional informa-
tion.

STEP 4: Besides answering the
routine questions on the peti-
tion (name, address, petitions
desired, etc.), students are re-
quested to attach additional
pages explaining the following:
why they are interested in the
position, what, in their opinion,
the duties are, their ideas for
the job and their experience, if
any, which applies to the posi-
tion.

STEP 5: Students return peti-
tion to the League Undergrad-
uate office and sign up for in-
terviews on lists located on the
bulletin board there. Interviews
are informal and usually last
between eight and 15 minutes,
depending upon the organiza-
tion. Interviewing committees
attempt to place the right peo-
ple on the right jobs. Coeds may
petition for any number of
positions.
