University Activities Center Student Alumni Council The University Activities Center (UAC) was the central programming body for the University. Senior communications major Almaz Kinder, president of UAC, said, UAC receives all of its funding from the students, so technically, every registered student is a mem- ber. We are 36,000 members strong ! The year brought forth numerous new UAC programs: MUSKET presented Caba- ret, and Amazin ' Blue performed at Rackham Auditorium. When asked what the UAC ' s greatest quality was, Kinder replied, UAC is a special place that fosters learning, friendship and fun. + Virginia Hiltz Michigan Union Board of Representatives The Michigan Union Board of Representa- tives maintained the strength of the Union and ensured that the student voice was heard. Chairman Peter Lee, senior biology and eco- nomics major, said, The Board worked to instill the idea of the Union as a unifying force. It hosted Escapade ' 96, an evening for new students, and a pep rally for Parents Weekend. The primary focus of the Board in 1997 was the renovation of the fourth floor that would create new student office space. To represent and unite the Michigan Union Board of Representatives enhanced the University experience creating new opportuni- ties for students and continuing student tradi- tions. -Kristin Long The students of today will one day become the students of tomorrow. With this in mind, it was the goal of the Student Alumni Council to involve students with alumni before they graduated. SAC worked throughout to year to plan activities like Parents Weekend and Homecoming, both weekend-long events that brought generations of the University together. Despite an early date, Parents Weekend proved once again to be a success for the group. Comedian Steven Wright performed at a Satur- day evening show, and a tailgate brunch before the football game set the spirit before students and parents headed to Michigan Stadium. Kristin Long Inter-Cooperative Council With the coordinated efforts of the Inter- Cooperative Council, students enjoyed the benefits of the cooperative movement while they learned from it. The council educated students about the movement, as well as leader- ship and conflict resolution. It also oversaw all aspects of cooperative living, including mainte- nance and finances. The residents of each house took responsibility for their own experiences. The organization was responsible for many of the functions within the system, and worked to ensure successful experiences for the students involved.

Mark Vipll Kappa Delta Pi In order to produce strong educational lead- ers, Kappa Delta Pi recognized outstanding achievements of University students who in- tended on pursuing a job in the teaching profes- sion. In a combined effort with Eastern Michi- gan University, members welcomed fellow Midwest Chapters in the Kappa Delta Pi Re- gional Conference. Individuals partook in spe- cial seminars, and also listened to influential speakers such as the group ' s regional director. Members of Kappa Delta Pi also participated in many philanthropic and fund-raising activities, where members donated their tutorial knowl- edge to students and their proceeds to needy schools. Kristin Long Phi Alpha Kappa The Graduate Science and Engineering fra- ternity Phi Alpha Kappa, aka The Dutch House, promoted a sense of brotherhood and bonding on the University campus. With many men from the Grand Rapids area, the link to home created a special sanction for Phi Alpha Kappa brothers. Membership was composed of graduate engineering, medial and biochemistry students, but was not closed to undergraduates. The professional social fraternity participated in many philanthropic activities including Toys for Tots during the winter. In a joint effort with WIQB radio station, members organized Rockin ' for Hunger; they collected food for and made donations to the needy. Kristin Long 220 Organizations Pfii Alpha Ddta Phi Alpha Delta International Pre-Law fra- ternity served as a means for University students to learn about the profession, while volunteering their time and having fun. The University chapter participated in community service projects such as working at Safe House and Habitat for Humanity. They had weekly meetings where they organized projects and invited speakers to present information. The co- ed fraternity also participated in intramural sports and held social events for members to get to know one another. One out of every six attorneys was a member, including President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary, and even Judge Wapner of the People ' s Court. Virgina Hiltz Alpha Cfii Sigma Alpha Chi Sigma served the student popula- tion of the University as a professional co- ed fraternity for students of chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, and pharmacology. The fraternity offered services to students as well as to the larger community. Members learned about the history of the fraternity and provided chemistry tutoring and test prepara- tion. The group also participated in a program called Motor Meals where they distributed food to people in the community and even worked with Boy and Girl Scouts to assist them in obtaining a chemistry merit badge. This frater- nity promoted academic excellence and ser- vice. Jaime Feder phuto courtesy of Phi Alpha Kapj Share?
