Independents
Represented
By AIM
The Association of Independent
Men, usually known as AIM, is
the three-level governing and co
ordinating body which represents
and promotes the interests and
welfare of all undergraduate in
dependent men.
Men who are not members of
a social fraternity are indepen
dents and therefore automatical
ly members of AIM.
AlM's purposes range from
actively, representing indepen
dent men in student govern
ment to sponsoring social func- -
lions, such as dances, mixers
and sports events.
The residence hall area councils
are an integral part of ATM. Each
council is itself a governing body
operating under its own constitu
tion.
Matters pertaining to a parti
cular area are handled by that
council but issues concerning all
independent men are brought to
the AIM Board of Governors
(BOG) by the elected representa
tives of the councils. -
The BOG, then, is a coordinat
ing body for the Nittany, West,
North and Pollock Halls Coun
cils and the Town Independent
Men. It acts as a liaison between
independent men and the Admin..
istra t ion.
Any independent man in good
academic standing is eligible to
run for a legislative position.
