SOCIAL STAFF STARTS
Popular Demand Induces
Reorganization of Fall
Activity.
Social dancing classes, spon
sored by the social staff of the
university Y. W. C. A. for all stu
dents on the campus, will be re
sumed on Friday evening, April
17 at 7 p. m., in the armory. Mrs.
Luella Williams of the Williams
dancing studio in Lincoln, will be
present to give instruction in ball
room dancing from 7 to 8 o'clock,
after which a dance will be held.
Classes of this type were held
regularly during the first semes
ter of the school year and due to
an increased demand for them to
be continued this spring the social
staff is again sponsoring the
dances, according to Betty Chcrny,
Y. W. cabinet member in charge
of the affairs.
Proven Popular.
"Large crowds attended each
dance held during the first semes
ter," Miss Cherny stated, "and
because of the success of these
dances we are making plans for
additional classes this spring."
Members of the social staff who
are making preparations for thr
dances are: Betty Cherny, chair
man: Lois Cooper, Irene Sellers,
Evelyn Taylor, Frances Spencer,
Virginia Nolte, Lillian Seibold. Lu
cre tia Green, Pat Cain, Janet
Hovct. and Virginia Griswold.
Admission to the classes will be
10 cents, according to plans of the
committee.
As a reminder to women stu
dents who are overpointed under
the newly revised point system,
announcement was made today by
Jean Walt, A. W. S. board member
in charge, that girls planning to
drop activities must complete ar
rangements to do so by April 25.
In submitting the announce
ment Miss Walt emphasized the
fact that those who will be juniors
and seniors next year should check
up on their points immediately in
order to have sufficient time to
complete the procedure necessary
in dropping an activity.
Under the new ruling, only those
who will be seniors during the
next year are exempt, but if any
girl who is to be a senior wishes
to drop an activity she must fol
low the procedure as set up -by
the A. W. S. board. Anyone drop
ping membership from an active
board or organization must get a
written statement, signed by the
president of the organization, to
the effect that that person's name
has been dropped from the roll or
added to the inactive list.
If one wishes to drop from the
membership of one organization
in order to join another, the per
son must appear before the inter-
organization council on Thursday,
April 23, in order to explain rea
sons for the desire to change, ac
cording to Miss Walt.
As soon as statements are re
ceived from the president of an or
ganization which has released a
girl from membership, they should
be given to Miss Walt. If a girl
is in an activity in which her term
expires at the end of this year and
she does not wish to renew her
membership no statement will
need to be submitted, since the
new system will not go into effect
until the next school year.
