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.

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

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.

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

No more.
