With registration woes still popping up in the 'drop and add" stage and not completely subsided, another cam pus monster is already rearing its ugly head to further com plicate the life of the eager. That monster represents the activity point system ... as regular a part of each new school year as the registration lines and equally as com plicated. The return of the senior men's honorary-, the Innocents, to the campus activity melee last spring caused a jump in activity point stock thruout the university's extra-curricular system. Soon a men's point system will again make its appearance as a regulator to stymie any ill-advised over loading. And with it will come more woes. This new point system, inactive for the past several years, will be the counterpart of the infamous woman's alphabetical game. To put it bluntly both systems are ridiculous and short-sighted at the present time. While each is primarily interested in protecting the activity minded individual neither is fulfilling that aim. -A side-by-side comparison of the two systems leaves little to be desired in the way of confusion. ' Basically a point system for activities is a sound and practical device but as employed here, completely lacking in any semblance of unity between organizations, it is of little value. While the activity season is off to a good start and not waiting for point rulings or anything else, it's still not too late to make the whole practice pracical. In the way of a suggestion why not throw the whole stagnant thing overboard and start anew? Why not form a unified, mixed board composed of an equal number of men and women who" have a thorough knowledge of the entire activity system. By so doing the many little dis crepanies that are now law could be ironed out and brought up-to-date. Such a board could create a consistent figure, either numerical or letter, as a point designator. It would be the duty of this board to study every bona fide activity and by agreement establish a uniform point for that activity. At the present time, in many activiies, men and women doing exacly the same type of work as receiving a different num ber of points for their efforts some too low, others too high. Give the activity-minded students a break and admit that you're both wrong and make your systems practical. The AWS has ideas, the men's point board has some too by unifying those ideas, a stronsr activity evalua can be drawn up to the satisfaction of all concerned. Now's the time to change before another year is too far gone to save. How about it? Girls Pledge Ribbons Confuse Befuddled Frat Men, Wolves BY PAT NORDIV. As the fellow said when he saw the house burning down, "It looks as though the frat's in the fire." j And so it is as coeds of one week's ftanding meander about the grassy knolls gazing at the archi- I tectural marvels of the quadran- , le and become objects of inter- ; est to prowling male students I who yearn to meet and court the fair damsels of their choice. And in accordance with the primary urge of the age. what is the emblem of womanhood for which they are looking? You guessed it the pledge ribbons! Yes, the girls are walking the streets with their bare ribbons hanging out casting furitive glances at each other to see if they should speak or not, depend ing on the similiarity of color in the decoration. Encounter in Crib. Orv pledge, having slipped into ' the crib to study, gasped audibly when a certain fraternity man looked soulfully into her eyes and caid. "What kind of a girl are youoooou?" Ere she fled, she murmured in what might pass for Tlake Novntny Jack Hill, isircr Miller Ralph Stewart Kelt h KrederickMia Sara Harrea FISINKSS STAFF Gould Flare H'."!'.

To these wise ones I give this warning: De vise some new means of escape soon. This is guaranteed for a short period of time only. Key to Puzzle. For the benefit of unintimate the colors of the respective pledge ribbons are as follows: Alpha Chi Omega. Red and Green. Alpha Omicron PI, Ked. Alpha Phi, Silver and Bordeaux. Alpha XI Delta.

Do not memorize thoe, how ever, for in six weeks they will be exchanged for pledge pins. Another Monday night and more candy passings along with some damply unfortunate indi viduals who neglected this little ritual marked the beginning of another week. The Chi O's were treated by Lois Thorfinnson, who announced her pinning to Jim Mickle, Farm House, and by Barb Gooding when she made her pinning to Sig Chi Johnny Bell official. The DCs had candy, too . . . Mary Frazee and Howard Purdy along with Ginny Douglas and Perry Rankin did the honors . . . p. . s. new rules for such events call for handshaking instead of kissing ... helps prevent epi demics. Mistaken Identity. Alpha Chi Mary Ann Dalthrop is pretty red-faced these days . . . of course it's hard to learn the names of some twenty pledges right away, but Mary Ann made it a trifle embarassing for AOPi Jackie Wightman the other day when she confused her with Alpha Chi pledge Jackie Denny . . . come around to the house and meet the girls. Mary Ann, The pinning of Marilyn Eidam, Alpha Xi, and Harris Graves was officially announced Monday when cigars were passed at the Sig Alph house . . . Marilyn had passed her candy earlier . . .true to form, the SAE's trooped over to the house only to discover that the pinned pair had taken a powder . . . showers are ready. DCs expected candy from Nancy Garey after a barrage of red roses and candy from Ardie Means, but it turned out merely a .steady deal. Tibby Curley, Alpha Chi, has found a new way to amuse her self with pinmate Fred McLaf ferty out of town . . . and baby sitting is profitable, too. Private Secretary. Theta Sal Swiler is spending lots of time over a hot typewriter these days . . . typing law briefs takes lots of time and the lucky law student in question seems to have lots of persuasive ability . . . they say being Coyne's pri vate secretary is all right. The gals at Rosa Bouton had candy- too, on Monday night . . . from Dorothy Brubaker and John Schmidt. Jody Srb, one of the more cau tious girls, astounded her AOPi sisters by announcing that she has already invited pinmate Dick Kuhl, Fiji, to this year's Mortar Board ball . . . this couple, fam iliarly known as the tumbling team, will probably be planning a wedding one of these days . . . Jody has asked Dick the fatal question, even though it is three months until leap year, and re ceived a negative answer . . . not disturbed, Jo pleaded- "Think it over for awhile" . . . the gallant Kuhl lad replied, "O. K., Jody, but I know already what the answer will be." Summer Weddings.

Rumor has it that the showers at the Phi Psi house were ex tremely cold Monday night for Rex Jones and Ted Liggett . . . the boys evidently expected to be invited over to the Alpha Chi house. Another shower was in prog ress Monday when the Phi Delts tubbed Ed McEachen who is pinned to Theta Nancy King. SDTs gasped when they saw several ATO's carrying Claire Cassman's luggage up to the house at 2 o'clock Sunday morn ing ... seems fiendish ZBT pledges had hidden it on the Tau porch earlier that evening.
