ARE YOU WORTHY?
To the new Union Board:
You seven people arc about to inherit a
great responsibility. Are you going to be sat
isfied w ith membership in a puppet group
whose only duty is to meet thrice annually for
approval of a budget report which you prob
ably shall not understand? Or will you stand
staunch and prove to the campus that you de
serve the positions you have been granted?
You arc going to meet for the first time
this evening.
Your first task will probably be that of
selecting officers of the board. Students,
don't be afraid to speak your minds. The
Union is young;. You know as much of its
operations as any who will be present, Re
member that, and elect the men who you are
convinced should be your leaders. And then
determine to embark upon a year of service
and improvement.
One of the nation's leading business execu
tives, when questioned as to what a man's re
tirement age should be, 'replied: "At that time
when he is so satisfied with operations, that
he cannot find a single thing to be changed."
Young minds, board members, should be imag
inative minds. Your addition to the adminis
tration of our Union, should produce a fund of
worthwhile suggestions to increase the utility
and efficiency of the organization.
, A stranger attended the student council
meeting yesterday afternoon. That stranger
arose during the meeting, and implored the
members to forget factionalism, to elevate
themselves above the selfishness of distributing
political plums, lie requested that the council
elect a union board of worthy, deserving stu
dents who would prove their worth and merit
in work and co-operation.
That same man, Kenneth F. Van Sant,
director of the Union, three months ago re
quested that the council consider a work
plan for students. From his vantage point
of intimacy with all the operations of the Un
ion, he saw fit to advocate a system which
he was convinced would make the Union more
closely approximate all the ideals and goals
dreamed of at its inception.
Board members, you are the representa
tives of 0,000 students. You are in a position
to make this Union more lhan simply a recrea
tion and meeting hall. The Union itself is
more than just a building; it is those f,000
students. The activities and entertainments
should not be staged for the students; they
should be staged by and of those students. Our
universities must ever remain the nation's
greatest advocates of our beloved principles of
democracy. Our Union should ever remain a
standing medium and reminder of democracy
on our own campus.
In you, new members, we place the hope
and faith to accomplish what the student
council has failed. Will you show the cour
age to create and to produce? Will you prove
to us all by 1940, that the second Union
board has sound judgment, initiative, and
perserverance?
Point system
sufficiently to give the board a
basis for cracking down.
Point board backs council.
Backing the Student Council in
the enforcement of its recent point
revision is the point board com
posed of the eight leaders in cam
pus activities, and the faculty
committee.
"Some exceptions may be made
In the case of junior or senior men,
overpointed at the present time
but who have legitimate imper
sonal excuses for retaining their
activities," the point board chair
man supposed, adding, however,
that there will be no exception for
sophomores.
"To be sure it will take a little
time to get the system to func
tioning perfectly and certain ex
ceptions must be made," Cunning
ham conferring with Stanley
Brewster, outgoing chairman ex
plained, "but it is the aim of the
board to emphasize the restrictions
on the men entering activities pre
venting them from getting over
loaded." Council candidate being checked.
Every man on the ticket for
Student Council this spring is be
ing checked, and any found to be
carrying more than the maximum
will be required to drop something
in the case that they are elected.
No over-pointed man running
for council with the intention of
dropping it if elected will be ad
mitted to the ballot.
Stipulations set forth in the
amendment passed by the council
Feb. 9, set the ceiling on men's
activities at 8 points for seniors,
7 points for juniors tnd 6 points
for sophomores, points being
weighted out to activities in pro
portion to the work required in
them.
Alms to better work.
Brewster, in charge of the board
at the time of the amendment,
declared that successful limitation
of men's activities will make it
possible for better work to be
done in those in which the indi
vidual does take part.
"From now on," the new Inno
cent president contended, "men
will be rated on the campus on the
quality of work and Interest shown
in a few activities, rather than on
the number of titles that they car
ry after their name."
Stating that this policy will not
only better the standards of the
clubs on the campus but also will
increase the number of students
having the opportunity to particl
pate, Brewster and Cunningham
emphasized the need of good
standing in school as a counter
part to a varied activity program.
Those bearing an average of less
than 72 will be permitted to carry
only half the number of points as
the maximum of their division.
Students affected by the en
between the liberal and progres
sive factions. During the last
year, the progressives controlled
forcement of this bill will be per
mitted to bring their cases before
the board with the appelate right
of presenting it before the faculty
committee. However the board
does not feel that this privilege
will be much used, as they antici
pate ready success in carrying out
their program.
The men's point board as it is
at present set up includes in mem
bership the editor of the Rag.
president of the student council,
president of Kosmet Klub, presi
dent of Corn Cobs, president of in
terfraternity conncil, a candidate
selected by the ag executive board
and one Barb man.

Positions on the council with
the exception of the senior repre

the candidate represents. Each
elector will have the opportunity
to vote for the men from his col
lege and the publications board

Barbs battle for council places.
Featuring the election for the

eight elected members to the barb
council. Six men and two women

no competition for the candidates
seeking places on that board.

will make competition for some
posts heavy while there will be
no candidates for ether positions.
The board is divided as follows:
One senior man, one senior wom
an, two junior men, two junior
women, one sophomore man and
one sophomore woman. If some
offices are left vacant, they will
be filled by the council later. Only
barbs may vote for these candi
dates. The filings for student council
