Dear Editor:
As has been widely publicized,
the University of Nebraska is em
barking on an extensive campus
beautiucation program. This work
will begin this coming summer,
Welcome additions of shrubbery,
trees, sodding, and especially, side
walks are the main points of the
program.
Alpha Phi Omega, National
Service Fraternity has fore one of
its services the promotion of va
rious duties designed to improve
or maintain the appearance of the
campus. " One annual slate in
cludes a wide-ranged grass con
servation program. This year's
program will mainly be done in
the fall, after the new sidewalks,
etc., are added.
Bearing this in mind, the stu
dent body merely sits and waits
for the completion of these sched
uled improvements, all the time
grinding out unscheduled im
provements of their own by form
ing dirt sidewalks - here there
had been beautiful plots of grass.
Although some of the campus
has experienced the above neces
sary improvements, the least NU
students can do is to respect the
part that hasn t.

Dear Editor:
How about bringing some pres
sure to bear to turn the mall,
south of the coliseum, into a
paved parking lot. This space
should be sufficient to accommo
date the majority of student's
cars. Almost as serious as the
student parking situation is the
congestion of cars at both foot
ball and basketball games. The
mall would be an ideal solution to
most parking difficulties at these
events.
Sincerely,
PHILLIP JONES.
A Change Is Needed!
Eleven RCA Victor recording
artists and conductors are repre
sented on the 1948 summer season
of concerts by the New York Philharmonic-Symphony
Orchestra at
Lewishon Stadium. Conductors
who will take over the podium
include Pierre Monteux, conduc
tor of the San Francisco Sym
phony Orchestra; Dimitri Mitrop
oulos, who will present a concert
version of "Tosca;" and Sigmund
Romberg, who will direct a spe
cial "Romberg night."
Next year's AWS board is now in the process of or at
least considering the revisement of the women's activity
point system. However, the only changes really being con
templated are the juggling. of the alphabet letters A, B
and C. The board plans to make some adjustments between
the B and C rated activities. This should be done since there
are obviously some over-rated activities and some under
rated activities.
However, no matter how many adjustments are made
along this line, the women's activity point system will con
tinue to be inadequate unless completely overhauled. This
would perhaps entail considerable work but -would prove
worthwhile. If this overhauling could be accomplished, then
the activity schedule could start anew next fall.
The principal thing wrong with the women s system
as it stands is the lack of flexibility in pointing activities.
There are only three categories an activity can fall -into
A, B or C. The first, A, includes all presidencies except
honoraries and minor boards. This is a short-sighted clas
sification since it is obvious that heads of certain groups
have more work and responsibility connected with their
jobs than heads of other groups.
All other activities besides the presidents must fall into
one of the other two categories. This is ridiculous since it
is obvious that there must be more than two graduations
of wnrV arrnmnlished in stoud activity, especially a large
group activity. Some groups have more classifications of
workers than three. An example of this is the Union ac
tivities committee which has a chairman, board members,
committee chairmen, and committee workers iour clas
sifications. Therefore, it seems that the AWS board could devide
a numbered activity point system similar to the men s
evetora TVins the activitv women could be more fairly
rated according to work accomplished and positions held
in an organization. There would, of course, be a maximum
number of points that could be carried, but at least a coed
would not be 'so limited in participation.
Seems too, as has been suggested by previous editors
in tf ova il that the men and women could have a joint
activity board to form a joint activity point system. That
way, the men and women workers in organizations would
be rated equally which is not true now in many cases. This
rrwu nrtt nnlv he a fairer wav of rating activities but
would simplify the system. The AWS board should give
serious consideration to the present system and the pos
sibilities for change and improvement before setting any
thing definite for next fall. They should not continue the.
same way just because it has been handled that way pre
viously.

Orchesis Shows Imaginative
Expressive Dance Routines
By Aaris Toddle.
Celebrating its 21st year on
campus, Orchesis demonstrated
last Friday and Saturday evenings
at Grant Memorial that the danc
ing group has really come of age.
Routines created by the group
members themselves that were im
aginative and expressive if not
precise sketched a history of dance
'through the ages."
Under the direction of Dr. Ailecn
Lockhardt, the group presented
smartly-costumed numbers rang
ing in spirit from medieval re
ligious solemnity to modernistic
mechanization. Plain, bold colors
characterized the handsome cos
tumes. Most ingenious of the dances
was "Ancient Mural," suggesting
the flat linear, but highly colored
wall paintings of, perhaps, Egypt.
Members of the small ensemble
did not change foot position, but
achfeved their affects by move
ment of the head and arms and by
rising or kneeling in position.

group dances were three quartet
numbers entitled "Spirit of the
Ballet," "Rigaudon," and "In a
Cathedral." The three were danced
by various combinations of Eliza
beth Lamb Quinton, Nancy Howey,
Myitis Rider, Pat Meyer, Amy
Jo Eergh, Nancy Jean Peterson
and Kay Copple.
Unusually spirited were "Coun
try Sketch," suggesting rustic En
glish festivity, and "Jazz Boogie."
The largest round of applause was
accorded the new men's group
whose "Day in the Service" was
easily the most humerous offering
of the program. Reveille, calis
thentics, K. P. duty, and wolfish
operations were imaginatively
suggested by the five male addi
tions to the dance program.
Solo dances of note were two in
terpretations of Gershwin's piano
preludes by Elizabeth Quinton,
"Three Fantastic Dances" with
music by Dmitri Shostakovitch,
performed by Irma Lou Fischer,
and an energetic "Indian War
Dance" featuring expert execution
of hoop antics by a male per
former. Need Greater Facilities.
Like the Fine Arts school's pro
duction of "Carmen" earlier this
semester, the Orchesis recital
highlighted the great need for an
auditorium adequate both for pro
duction facilities and for accom
modating audiences with comfort.
Grant Memorial, minus a stage
and without grandstand seating
(except for bleachers) is an un
satisfactory locale for student pro
ductions as goed as the Orchesis
recital.

"N" club will be held today at
