Rev. H. Erck, University Luth

the opening of his annual Bible
class in the Temple theater in
room 203 tomorrow evening at 5
o'clock. All students interested are
most cordially urged to attend.
For 13 years Mr. Erck has been
conducting these classes on Wed

number of employed students nec
essitated a change to every first

The year's topic is "Special stu

by supervisors not only as to

wore black bloomers, and only

Everyone else was "older,"

constantly combed, and boys
were out of the Bubonic class.
To this group our bustling prin

ate not little girls any longer; you
are fast becoming young ladies.
And the boys you meet in the halls
are not hoys 'they are young men.
So. girls. I must ask everyone of

Revamped Women's Point
System Slate Announced
Copies of the newly revised Women's Point System which gov
erns women's activities were issued and delivered yesterday to all
organized women's houses. Object of the 1937 revision was to
straighten and clarify the old system, according to Betty Cherny,
A. W. S. board member who is chairman of the Point System. '
Distribution of the honors and duties of college life in order to
promote efficiency in each activity, and group consciousness in a
larger number of university women is the purpose of the system.
To these ends, each recognized activity has been given a place. In
order to make it easier for the organizations concerned, candidates
for offices or membership must be checked as to activity clcgibllity
with the permanent record kept by the A. W. S. board. The A. V. S.
board together with the dean of women will have final jurisdiction
over all points of discussion.
The following is the basis or classification used:
(1) Any woman student may have the following activities. The
(a) A and B or t'c) B and C and C or' (c) A and C and C
(bl B and B or (d) C and C and C or
(2) There is no limit regarding the numbor of D activities which
may be carried.
(ct A woman is not eligible for an office if upon taking office
she wiil be ovcraointcd. A woman m;iy change activities at the end
of a term of office (a term as determined by the constitution of the
individual organization). After dropping a position in an organization
she may not return to that activity.
(4( In case one has an office or some active roll in an organiza
tion, membership in that organization will not be counted separately.
(5) Automatic membership due to membership in another organ
ization will not be counted.
(6) The President of a social sorority or dormitory may only carry
one B activitv, or two C activities.
After one warning, violations are subject to penalty by A. W. S.
Court.

More Satisfactory
Rush Program.
In an effort to establish a more
efficient and satisfactory rushing

Monday afternoon in Ellen Smith
hall. Muriel White, president, pre
sided. Each sorority was asked to sub
mit during this month, anonymous
reports offering suggestions for re
vision and criticising last summer's
rush program.
Amount set that sororities may
spend for formal is $155. No one
may exceed this amount. Pledging
and initiation dates were an
nounced. Miss Marguerite Klinkcr, Mrs.
Penton and Ruth Adams, secre
tary, were other ptesiding officers.
Behind the eight-ball" is the
Awgwan for September 1937. Jim
Foreman s black and white cover
depicts the bewildered freshman
looking saucer-eyed and astonished
over a large eight-ball, while be
hind him looms the ominous fra
ternity paddle, the fleeting bank
roll, the grizzly R. O. T. C. officer,
and the inevitable glass of beer.
Peeping inside the front cover,
there is a command to Run! Don't
walk for the latest Awgwan, and
the major features are advertised
as gags, girls, groans and gore
galore! Turning further, we find
an article advocating the commer
cialization of colleges to the extent
that special schedules, including
pipes and snap courses, be handed
out on request to desirous stu
dents, while See-moan Simmons
contributes his bit in the form of
an article entitled "Fashions for
Guys," complete with an Editor's
Note to the effect that See-moan
Simmons has worn clothes for the
past 21 years and the sartorial ex
perience he has gained adequately
fit him to help you with your
clothes problems. The accompany
ing article is entitled "Fashions
for Gals," and is illustrated with
pictures of Nebraska's prettiest
co-eds wearing the new fall clothes
described in the article.
Faculty Females For 37.
Bill Farrens, new cartoonist for
the Awgwan this year, and he is
very adept, too, introduces Faculty
Females for 1937. "Fair enough!"
is the student cry on seeing the
latest feminine additions to the
faculty, and fair enough! will be
your cry when you see Bill's car
toons. Another new feature to be
introduced this month is the Roani
er Boys at Nebraska scries, and
reading left to right, a habit they
developed in childhood, are Tom,
Dick, Harry and Joe Roamer. You
can't afford to miss them.
Gore, this month, introduces the
prettiest pledges of the sororities
on the campus, and if you want a
date with a new fraternity pledge
just refer to the Awgwan, as the
best ones are listed. Of course,
sprinkled here and there are the
jokes which the Awgwan obviously
has to print, but 'nuff said already
about the jokes.
So, Eds and Co-eds, for the lat
est Awgwan. Only 15 cents in

Pr. Joseph E. A. Alexis, chair
man of the department of Ger

was one of the few Americans to
be present this summer at the
funeral of Rotary in Germany. Dr.
Alexis and his family spent most
of the summer In Berlin and Mun

was principally engaged in gath
ering material for a complete re
vision of the nationally adopted
German reader "In Deutschland,"
a book dealing with German lite.
In addition, Dr. Alexis became ac
quainted with present German au
thors and contemporary literature.
The national socialist party In
Germany, he says, decided that
none of its members could be af
filiated with Rotary after Jan. 1,
mainly because of the club s in
ternational program. This national
edict resulted in the immediate
death and dlsbandonment of Ro

Dr. Alexis was able to attend sev

Hamburg, and Munich during the
early part of the summer.

He feels that there must event

"And may you redouble your

declared. In traveling through Eu

of our political developments and
our own religions. There are cer

which we cannot explain In Eu

to explain them.
