Squirrels and chickadees frolic
over the Nebraska campus. Ca
the rest of the campus is devoid
of life. Only now and then does
a furtive, harassed looking; stu

scamper into the drug for a

It is dead week; finals are on

Ten Women, Men 'Approve
Abolishment of Point System
... Or Revision
C o m d 1 e t e approval of the
abolishment of the point system
was expressed by ten students in
terviewed today. While the girls
approved because they thought the
system was poorly managed, the
boys agreed because they thought
the girls would not participate In
more activities than they were
capable of handling.
Margaret Fowler, Chi O "I'm
glad they' abolished it. No check
was ever made. I do think they
should have a point system, but
it should be revised, with strict
enforcing of the rules."
Norman Milton, Sig Alph
"Yes, I'm in favor bf it definitely.
I don't see why girls shouldn't be
in as many activities as they wish.
If they can take care of them,
it's O. K."
Marydean Lawler, Kappa Delta
"I think perhaps I agree with the
editorial in the Rag. The plan
should be revised. Don't think
membership in an activity should
carry a point just the officers,
and perhaps Tassels."
Bruce Morrison, ATO "As long
as the girls make their averages
and aren't down I don't see why
they shouldn't have fun. But the
girls shouldn't run around if they
are getting poor grades. That

isn't what college is for."
V
Sy Bernstein, SDT "I think the
abolishment is a good idea. If
girls who are active want to be
mure- active, tby shouldn't be
held back."
Rod Smith, Phi Delt "It's up
to the girls to do what they want
to. If they're capable, let them
go ahead."
Jeafl Buckley, Thcta "I'm
not an activities woman. I just
have one activity I'm interested
in and I never had to worry about
points. I'm neutral."
Jim Alexander, Sigma Nu "It
has it's points. They shouldn't put
any ropes around the women
let them do what they want."
Dorothy Thornburg, DG "I
think the abolishment is a good
idea. The girls who wanted to
go out for an activity did any
way. They seemed to get in as
many as they wished."
me and the rest of God's chilluns
have at least 4 labs, 8 themes,
dets sing from class to class. The
ROTC boys shine their buttons
and dream of happier days. But
2 term papers, and 26 chapters
of history to take care of. It
continues to be a psychological
wonder why college students try
to cram nine months of tuition,
board and room into 5 days of
hitting the books. But don't we
all!
Morpheus Forgotten.
Morpheus is the forgotten man.
Dreams are things of the past.
By the time most of us get to
sleep, we sleep so hard that there
is no time for extra-curricular
activities like dreaming. Every
time I put my pajamas on, my
books sneer audibly from the dark
recesses of the bookcase. They
know that I don't know. The pro
fessors know that I don't know. I
know that I don't know. Yet twice
a year I have to go thru the futile
procedure of trying to convince
everyone I do know. College is
amazing.
Light Dawns.
But all is not so dark. Some
where in the dim distant future
there is a small ray of sunshine.
Thoughts of vacation strike a
spark of life, bolster up failing mo
rale, give a promise of happiness.
Vacation is like an obstacle
race. It can be attained only
after wrecking one's self getting
past the insurmountable barriers.
And then when you get there,
what have you got? Work! The
vicious circle of depression and
prosperity is nothing compared to
the vicious circle of me. And who
ever heard of prosperity in col
lege anyway!
