Abolish
Women's
PointPlan
Abolishment of the women's
point system because it has failed
to achieve its purpose has been
announced by AWS board and the
dean of women, effective May 6.
Created to encourage more
women to enter activities, the sys
tem limited the number of activi
ties in which any one woman
might participate. Each activity
was assigned a certain number of
points.
Eight Point Limit.
As set up by the AWS board.
the point system limited the num
ber of accumulated points for one
woman to eight. Provisions were
made for "floating" points, and

site sides followed by the goddess,
who was presented with a flower
by Lorene Bennett, president of
the home ec association.
Before the presentation of the
goddess a community sing was
held under the direction of Gwen
Row. Phyllis Ellenberger was
general chairman and Racheal
Ann Lock had charge of the pre
sentation. A free juke dance took place in
the activities building immediately
following the ceremony.
Formerly the goddess has been.
presented at the annual ag spring
formal, the climax of ag campus
social activities for the year. But
this year, as has been the case
with numerous campus traditions,
wartime restrictions necessitated
a less spacious affair.
The hundieds of uniforms worn
by the STARS and the activated
ROTC boys gave the whole party,
a rather military but informal air.
The dance which followed the
presentation featured an old time
square dance caller and dances as
well as modern tempos.

Commencement Round Up
... In Keeping with War Time
Alumni Round Up at the Uni
versity of Nebraska this year, an
annual event of the commence
ment weekend, has been stream
lined in keeping with wartime, ac
cording to plans announced by
Ellsworth DuTeau, alumni secre
tary. The alumni - faculty reunion
luncheon, opening event scheduled

the difficulties of wartime travel
and is scheduling no other general
alumni sessions, DuTeau said.
Special class reunions are not
being urged, but the alumni office
will cooperate with any classes
and other organizations which de
sire to hold reunions.

now a prominent electrical en
gineer will be here from Cleveland
as speaker for the Round Up
luncheon. There will be special
tables for the five classes to be
hu.iored this year 1893, 1903,
1913, 1923 and 1933.
Mrs. Joe W. Seacrest, vice pres
ident of the Lincoln alumni clut
and Miss Patricia Lahr, secretary,

luncheon. Early reservations ar
urged because of the difficulties'
in obtaining food.

tional board of the alumni asso
ciation will be held at 10 a. m.
Saturday, May 22, at the Student
Union.
The University Foundation will
