THE POINT SYSTEM One thing the Student Council will surely be asked to pass upon, will be the installation of the point system for both men and women students of the University. In brief, this system credits a student with a certain number of points for different student activities, and fixes a limit to the number of points any one student may get in one school year. . It is too common an occurrence at this University, especially among the women students, to have the greater part of the leadership in student affairs taken by a few girls, who are unwise enough to permit themselves to be burdened with the many responsibilities, and then suffer a breakdown in health which may cost them several years of life, or keep them from entering the business of life after they graduate with the full health that is almost essential to happiness and success. The same thing is true among the men, that a few of them, upon whom the others are accustomed to place the responsibility for putting things across, assume too much of a burden. In any event, the school work of the student suffers. The present system at Nebraska places too much upon the shoulders of the fetf, too little upon the shoulders of the many. Nor is this the only thing wrong about unrestricted participation in student activities. The present plan does not give the backward, the retiring student, an opportunity to exert his talents in student activities. It is so easy for him to hide his light beneath a bushel, that he never is given a chance for demonstration of his ability to take a leading part. And the net result of it all is a loss in the sum total of student spirit. Distribute the work, and you distribute the interest; concen trate the work in the hands of a few, and you concentrate the interest. This is but one of the many problems that the Studnet Council will have to deal with. It is important enough, however, to be placed among the very first things that are to come before the council, and it deserves, in any event, the intelligent thought and discussion of the students. A SUFFRAGE CONVOCATION The definite announcement has been made that a "suffrage convo cation" will be held Tuesday at 11:30, after the regular convocation period, for both men and women students who are interested, either for or against, the extension of the vote to women. This is an announcement that should result in a packed audi torium. If you are an ardent suffragist, you will enjoy hearing the cause presented again. If you are anti-suffragist, you will like to go and listen and boil over. If you are on the fence, you may find out what is the way to fall. If you are merely interested in your own or the other half of the world and rare is the person who Is not inter ested in people it will be worth while to go and examine this mani festation of their activities. University women are taking a leading part in the extension of the suffrage cause in Nebraska. Their convocation can't help but be worth while.

This comes as the result of a long de ficiency in that branch. Ex. NON COMPOS MENTIS ON WITH THE DANCE, OR WHY DID JULIUS CAESAR? The ways of the world are like a muddy window, can't see through them. It does hail And it does, snow; Why it does, I do not know. The world is full of a number of things, And some of them are hard to bear; But the man who can grin at the trou ble It brings, Is the one who will lighten his share. Essay No. 2 Alpha Sigma Phi has the greatest number of tin-Hazards and the largest coal bill in town. There are two hun dred freshmen in the fraternity this year, making a total of seven hundred and seventy-four in all. The most at tractive part of the landscape is the lace curtain which has been inartistic ally draped by one thread in a second story room on the south, for the past five months. It has been thusly to keep the owner of the room from be ing sunstruck on cloudy days. It has established one custom which is (all kidding aside) the best thing that has been pulled off in a long time. It is the "all-Greek" party, which has been one of the most helpful fraternity social sandpapers in the world. Carlisle Jones is the "high mogul" of the royal order of the Alpha Sigma Phis and the social center of their uni verse. Around him the sons rise and, yea, pass over the horizon. Paul Dobson is famous in the foot ball world. This is because every time he is knocked out it is easy to take a new Lees on life. Harry Gayer just can't stand It to reDeat his name more than once. We would like to warn the unsuspecting bystander that if he is ever introduced to him and doesn't understand his name, never, under any circumstances to let him know it. If you should ever ask him he will stare haughtily and tell you that he has told you once. The pin of the fraternity is very beautiful and can conveniently serve as a bread plate. PLAY "ESMERALDA" IN TEMPLE LAST NIGHT Walter Herbert and Winifred Wil Hams Star In Production of Class in Dramatic Art We w ould like to say right here that these "essays" are not written in a bitter spirit. Nor are they any indi cation of the real feeling of trre writers. Nevah Mo'! A Prof ence had a dream. He dreamed he died And went to Hades. Honest! He did! The devil mopped the Sweat from his Brow for, you see. It was summer time In Hades. And then he said: "What wickedness Havest thou didest?" And the Prof opened His mouth saying: "Please, sir, I Assigned 100 pages in The text and 300 pages Outside reading All for one lesson." "Ah-hah!" chuckled The devil "Thou havest didest Wery wery well! Welcome to our city!" And the Prof became General foreman of Hades. Of course 'twas all A hideous dream But when he woke up He swore by the Bacred Horned toads that he Wouldn't make long Assignments , No more. Exchange.
