No criticism of a program should be made
without a remedy. So here's some suggestions
for reviving and changing the women's point
system.
Two methods are open: (1) The AWS
. board can take action itself and by a motion
of one of its members cast a vote rescinding
the action abolishing the point system, or
(2) If the AWS board fails to act, women
students may circulate a petition to bring
the matter before the student body at the
fall election.
Apparently the board did away with one
of their major responsibilities with little ad
vance discussion or even warning that the sub
ject was to be brought up. A motion rees
tablishing the point system would be the sim
plest and most obvious means of rectifying the
mistake.
The other alternative is for the coed stu
dent body as a whole to act. For such a move
ment to be necessary seems absurd, when the
AWS board is elected "to reflect the interests
and execute the will of the women students,
to unite them in the proportion of scholarly
as well as social purposes." Doing away with
the point system will make it possible and
legal for a small group of coeds to control all
the activities on the campus. This isn't to the
interst of all the students. And allowing cer
tain women to concentrate all of their time on
extra-curricular activities leaving study some
where behind isn't conducive to high scholar
ship. The A. W. S. board has fallen down on
its job. Something should be done about it.
We don't think any little group or one woman
should be allowed to dominate all the coed ac
tivities on the campus.

Dear Kditor:
In your issue of May 2, you printed an
editorial that carried the implication that en
gineers are narrow-minded. Then of May 11
in 1 lie "Letterip" column, 22 engineers at
temi ied to refute this accusation. I am also
an engineer, but I believe their points of view,
expressed in the letter, are distorted.
According to the letter, the engineers,

Blackout Instructions
Above is a photograph of a successful
blackout of Wahoo, Nebraska. We can take
this to heart, I imagine.
Frank Matoon once said: "The blackout,
besides being a necessary precaution against
air-raids, is also a nifty time to make social ac
quaintances." Uight you are, Frank Ma toon! And be
ing patriotic citizens, we must all enter into
the training of blackout principles with all the
enthusiasm of Krrol Flynn reading the cur
rent issue of "Film Fun?"
Heed the following rules:
1. Call up the most glamorous coed on
the Nebraska campus and ask her for a date
for the blackout. Then, call up some other
girl who will accept a date with you.
2. Repeat 100 times the phrase: "When
milking a cow in the winter-time, use an ice
pick." This won't get you anywhere, but at
least it will keep you out of mischief.
3. Oct hold o'f an old "Awgwan" and use
your imagination.
4. Turn out all the lights in the house,
except in the ice-box. (Your date can't say:
"Let's go in the ice-box.")
5. Pretend you are Norris Anderson.
6. Keep a pail of water near at hand. Tt
may be useful in pulling out fires or John
Hauermeistcr.
Remember: "A successful blackout is
like escorting Mrs. Roosevelt on a Nebraska
picnic. Can't see either."

Rally . .
sticking close together, have thought that they
are a "swell bunch." Then when they "were,
forced to associate with the statesmen from
other colleges," the engineers realized they are
a "swell bunch." Kvidcntly, the authors be
lieve that the "statesmen's" explanation why
engineers seclude themselves from campus ac
tivities is not based upon prejudices or 1he like.
The cause for their seclusion is the limi
tation of time. While an engineer is "grasp
ing figures" and observing the phenomena
of nature, he gives many hours to his studies.
Probably more hours than any other group on
the campus. Average engineers do not have
time to carry additional activities ns may stu
dents in Biznd or other colleges. To engineers.
outside activities are an interruption to their
studies.
Yes. I believe the explanation for "nation
ism" among engineers is as simple as stated
above, and. in exposing my explanation, I did
not need to throw any verbal stones toward
other groups.

Ode to spring and rainy
weather. Nothing like a nice
gloomy day to put you in a good
mood. And to top it off I re
ceived a letter from Beenie Allen
today. She and Barbara Jones,
another former Alpha Phi are be
ing married June 3 to West Point
boys. Ah for a military wedding!
Oh wch there are some girls
and then there is Betsy Wright
and myself, at fifty and old
maids, we can be happy with the
thought that we were once elected
best picnic dates of '42 and '43.
Hip! Hip!
Oh well after seeing Ensign
Dorsey and having John Jay
Douglas ask if she'd date enlisted
men (Buck private to you) there
is still some hope. Uncle Sam
here we come!
Ah Wcit Point.
While thinking of West Point
we might mention Martha Wood
ruff, dorm, is now wearing a
West Point "A" pin from Jim
Rassmussen former Nebraska stu
dent. While at the dorm, Eleanor
Jackson received a diamond the
other day from Richard Doulf of
the Army Air Corps and Franie
Hans now wears the Kappa Sig
pin of Arizona Howard Moore.
As a last attempt at publicly
thanking people and asking a few
idle questions I will proceed:
First of all thanks to Freddy.
Well, that's the only person I
have to thank, now for questions
Why? Why don't Bill McBride and
Cicely ever get together. We
would like to have seen her out
and around?
Why doesn't some one really
appreciate Ki Rohman? He has
some very appreciatable quali
ties. Why haven't one of the many
murdered Norrie Anderson?
Why Bob Hyde hasn't hung his
pin yet?
How people can recover from
the rebound so quickly?
Anyone crazy enough to come
back to Nebraska next year. Un
less they plan to be students of
the first degree. Amen!
