Cornhuskers took the count 85 to 23
from Conch Edward's Missouri Ti
gers Saturday night at Columbia.
The Miszou five grot away to a good
start but before the first chapter
of the game ended the Husker five
were in the lead and held the lead
throughout the rest of the game.
Page, lanky Nebraska center got
the tip-off on every play and the Ne
braska machine was functioning per
fectly. Andreson was the outstand
ing player of the evening perform
ance, counting five times from the
field and once from the free throw
line-
The Nebraska invasion of Missouri
was a most successful trip from
every standpoint of the game and
with two wins hanging on their belt,
the Nebraska Huskers are now rated
as one of the strongest contenders
for Valley honors. Although neither
game is counted in the official Valley
standing both tussles indicate the
strength of the Husker five in Mis
souri Valley basketball circles.
Nebraska's superior height over
the Tigers was one of the main fac
tors of the Husker victory. The
Missouri gunrds were unable to re
cover the ball off the backstop while
the tall Nebraskans would carry on
their work above the heads of the
Tiger quintet The first half ended
with Nebraska in the lead 15 to 12.
"Old Man Dope" took a big fall
Saturday night, for, as the Huskers
were winning from Missouri, Coach
"Phog" Allen's five-time Missouri
Valley champion Jayhawk team went
down to defeat at the hands of Iowa
State to the tune of 15 to 12. Elliott
and Peterson scored six points each
for their teams. v

POINT SYSTEM
FOR WOMEN IS
ON NEW BASIS
Code at University of Michigan
Is Used as Model; Activities
Classified Differently
IN EFFECT SECOND TERM
Organizations Will Report To
Committee; Students' Card
Records to be Checked
After being more or less a dead
letter for several years, the point
system for women students, has been
resurrected in the form of brand
new code which was approved Thurs
day by members of the Associated
Women's Students board, and by
Dean Amanda Heppner. The new
system embodies an entirely dif
ferent basis of classification of ac
tivities, and is modelled after the
code which has been in successful op
eration for some time at the Univer
sity of Michigan.
The new code will go into effect
immediately with the new semester,
according to Helen Anderson, '28,
Lincoln, chairman of the committee
in charge of the revision of the sys
tem. In about a week the committee
will receive reports from all organi
zations and activities. Card records
of students will be checked, and any
women found engaged in more ac
tivities than the point system permits
will be asked to drop something.
Purpose Is Defined
The following statement was is
sued Saturday by the committee
which has been drafting the new reg
ulations: "The distribution of the honors
and duties of college life in order to
promote efficiency in the activity and
group consciousness in a larger num
ber of university women is the pur
pose of this new system. To these
ends each recognized activity is given
a certain value in points, and no stu
dent will be allowed to assume more
than the number of points desig
nated. Junior and senior women will
not be allowed to assume more than
fourteen points at any one time and
sophomore women cannot assume
more thain ten points at any one
time."
Three Groups of Activities
Group A A student may elect
only one.
Group B A student may elect
two activities from B, or one from
A and one from B.
Group C A student who has one
activity in A, two in B, or one in A
and one in B may accept membership
but not an office in Group C organi
zations.
In case one has an office or some
active role in an organization, mem
bership in that organization will
count separately. An exception exists
in the case of offices listed under
Group A, membership in the organi
zation will not count separately when
the girl holds a position listed in
Group A.
A girl who is a member of the Sil
ver Serpent or Xi Delta, cannot be
a member of Tassels.
Double Checking Possible
By this revised point system there
are two ways of checking the num
ber of activities a girl may have.
These two ways are:
1. By the groups A, B, C, as
stated above.
2. By the limited number of
points a gir.1 may have.
