With the revival of the Curricular Activity System, the AWS board has answered the disapproval of numerous stu dents with positive action. Since the point system was abandoned in the spring of 1942, important posts in campus activities have been occupied by a small nucleus or compe tent but over worked activity women. Under the new system it will be impossible for one coed to engage in more than four activities during a given period. At present there is a drastic lack of activity con sciousness on the part of a majority of women students. The AWS board hopes that the point system will make for a better distribution of honors and duties connected with women's activities and promote efficiency within the ac tivity. Over-pointed coeds have been given until the last spring election of the current school yeir to cut their ac tivities to the prescribed maximum and the AWS board is expecting and should receive the full cooperation of every activity woman. M. G. Welcome Back ... Passing out candy bars, cokes and a great big smile, Col. J. P. Murphey returned to his desk at Love Library to take over the duties of commandant of the University of Nebraska military units, Saturday morning. Colonel Murphey was transferred to Omaha November 24 as head of all the Seventh service command ROTC and AST units and in the words of Chancellor Boucher, "We are all more than pleased to see him resume his duties on campus." The affable colonel, with his Irish grin, assured all comers that he was more than glad to be back at his old stand and though his return was a surprise to everyone, including the administration, we hope he's here to stay. M. G. Les Said The Better By Les Glotfelty Read it and weep all you little activity women. The hwn waitins? for auite some months now has finally fallen, cutting a few throats on its way down. The AWS point system for women's activities has come back to the fold to roost after an aDsence oi two yt-aio. i svstpm attpmnts to regulate iust how much "activitying a coed can do. and if she doesn't comply with the rules, she gets knocked completely out of everything. Reasons for putting the darned system back in force are vague but more or less conclusive. It seems that last vear's iunior class, with no point system to govern them, got a little carried away with activities, and this year, as seniors, tney are sun uauging uu iu a.vnm.j w should have. Consequently the juniors are strictly as "mea ger beavers," except for 1 he few who happened to be lucky. Supposedly, this new governing system will keep the sopno mores and juniors from cutting each other's throats to get an office, and if it succeeds in that it is a good thing. Since the system definitely limits the number of ac tivities a coed can mess with, perhaps more coeds will be drawn into and find places in activities. The trouble is that everyone who wants to get into an activity is in for the most part, so that doesn't get us anywhere. AWS had one heck of a time getting the plan formed and passed as some of the board was not too impressed by the whole idea. But here it is, for which we give one small, pint-sized and weak "hurray." Up in the crib Saturday mornine. when the Nebraskan staff first got hold of the plan, women staff members were running around beating their heads against walls and screaming, "What shall I do?" in tones of great despair. Such is life, to quote some body or other. INCIDENTALLY, IN CASK KEADEKS AKJbj WUIN- DERING WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, READ THE FRONT PAGE. IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN'T FIND THERE. Snow Ball of (Continued from Page 1.) (but kept for a souvenir, course). If university women think they have troubles now, wait until Sat urday nite comes along and they have to begin arrangements for transportation. A baby buggy is no good because someone would get stuck with pushing it and it isn't hard to guess who. One coed suggested roller skates, another thought of the more timely sled and a third person interviewed decided a horse and sleigh might be appropriate. Carry Freight. Trouble doesn't end with solv ing the transportation problem, though, because one may find it necessary to carry her date's "purse." Unlucky is the coed who formerly burdened her man's pockets with lipstick, compact, comb and other essentials of an evening out. Saturday she is apt to find herself carrying a duffle bag with an array of pipes, a shot gun, hair oil, shaving equip ment, overshoes (in case the promised snow really appears) and anything else the revenge ful male heart desires. The tra ditional theme is that "anything goes" and it's a time for steel nerves and a versatile sense of humor. Tickets for the party are now on sale for $1.25 per couple and they may be purchased from any member of Mortar Board or Tas sels. Letters for the ideal Snow man should be turned in at the Nebraskan office this week. Names and pictures of candi dates for Snowflake should also be submitted to Pat Chamberlain at the Nebraskan office.
