The Men's Activity Board
It's Overpointed
Here it is, six weeks have
passed and the Men's Activity
Point board hasn't even had its
stationery printed. Every
campus organization, whether
or not its existence is justifi
able or its functions possible,
has to have stationery espe
cially when there are a lot of
names to top the page. And
every member of the board
must have at least a thousand
sheets for purposes of writing
home and to friends.
Here it is, time for the an
nual election and the point
board hasn't peeped about
checking the ponits of the male
candidates. No organization
has been formed. No files have
been conceived. Nothing has
been done this year to prevent

There is a reason. It lies with
the members of the board itself.
They, themselves, have their
fingers dabbling in every other
activity on the campus, and at
least three of the board mem
bership are overpointed.
The time to act is ripe. To
day the Student Council
meets. To the Council this is
a challenge. To the members
of the board, we are required
by the inexorable logic of
the situation to remind the
