Action, Not Talk
When is the AVVS board going to do something con
structive about the women's activity point system? There
has been much talk, but no action on such a project.
Last spring we advocated a change and were informed
by AVVS members that the board would consider a revision.
Are they still considering? Or will something be accomp
lished this year? We were also informed by AWS members
that a change would "entail too much work." If that is the
case, the point system should be handled by a board that will
not consider it too much work.
The women's activity point system is inadequate as it
stands and will continue to be inadequate unless completely
overhauled.
The principle fault of the system is that there are only
three categories into which an activity can fall A, B. or C.
The first, A, includes all presidencies except honoraries and
minor boards. This is a short-sighted classification as heads
of certain groups have more work and responsibility con
nected with their jobs than heads of other organizations.
All other activities besides the presidencies must be
rated in either of the other two classes. Now, it seems vi
dent that there should be more than two ratings of work
accomplished when some activities have three or more
steps in their organizational work. For example, the Union
activities board has four classifications, chairman, board
member, committee heads and committee workers.
We would therefore recommend that the AWS board
devise a numbered activity point system similar to the
men's point board. By this method, women in activities
could be rated more fairly according to responsibility held
and work accomplished. There should, of course, still be a
maximum number of points allowed to each individual, but
coeds would not be so limited in activity participation.
We hope that the AWS board will not just sit back and
do nothing about this problem as they did last year, but will
pitch in and accomplish something . . . action, not talk!

Vandalism reigned supreme on
the campus Tuesday night when
culprist (Apha Phi and Phi Delt
pledges) removed lawn chairs
from various and sundry sorority
and fraternity houses. At one
house, the Phis were drenched
from head to foot with water, and
they hastily retired to their do
main to let the Phi Delts carry
on alone.
What does a pledge do when
an active tries to muscle in on
his love life? It's a good ques
tion and one that is puzzling
Jim Connor. Just as Jim thought
he was making the well known
grade with Pat Boyd, might ac
tive Bill Wright met her at an
hour dance, took the plunge and
simply moved in. At present, Pat
is in the hospital with the flu.
and the two men turn up to see
her at exactly the same time,
much to the chagrin of all con
cerned. All is lost, if Bill turns
out to have the better bedside
manner, according to Jim.
Dense ' Come-back.
Charlie Dugdale: Have you
seen "Strange Love" with Mar
garet O'Brien and Boris Karloff?
Helen Prince: No, I detest Mar
garet O'Brien!

Joe Litx was seen in her room
last night in a state of nervous
prostration. The cause Al Mar
vis. Jo got wind of his cutting a
class to go out with another girl,
and try as she might, she couldn't
find out who her competition was.
A clue would be to try the Chi
O house, Jo.
Then there is frosh Mitzi Mc
Meekin who has fallen head over
heels for Ellie Swanson's fiance,
Walt Samuelson. Mitzi has start
ed her attatk on breaking up this
romance so that she can have a
of Walt, and refusing to give it
back.-
There's only one guy on cam
pus who can claim the possession
of freshman beanies for the classes
of '49 through '52 inclusive. The
perpetual freshman is Virgil
"Oodle" Adle who has come to
school three previous times and
returned home in disgust after
the first week of classes. He's
been here two weeks this time
and that may be a sign that he
will be around for quite a while.
On the Calendar of Social Cap
ers: A big free-for-all " lawn
parly that Jane Traphagen is
throwing at her Lincoln home on
Saturday night. This is no small
time affair and will be complete
with Japanese Lanterns and Jack
Reynolds. Incidently, the whole
Phi Psi house has been asked to
bring dales.
Plug: From here, it looks like
another big College Night at Kings
on Friday. The Sigma Nus are
going out en masse again this
week end, and that alone should
make the place more than lively.

Football Fen Witnesses
Game Through Telescope
It's a touchdown!" "No, it
isn't.". "Someone just spilled
coke on our telescope!"
My neighbor shouted madly
from our vantage point atop the
balcony, last row, extreme north
coiner. "What was that last play?
Hey, Joe, turn up the portable.
There's a cloud bank over the
40 yard line." Excitement seized
me as I saw the bloodthirsty
scrimmage below, only to realize
it was a Husker huddle as the
announcer droned, "Time out!"
At that crucial point a figure
dashed in front of us to grasp
the balcony railing. "What's the
matter with him?", was my naive
query. Joe said scornfully, "Just
a mild case of altaphobia. His
oxygen mask was punctured by
a passing jet plane." I had a
secret passion to ask Joe if it
was the plar. with the "Kitty
Klover" sign, but seeing his steely
stare, I gave up the idea.
Our attention now focused upon
an object below and I rose to
my feet to cheer. "What a spec
tacular run. He must have gained
60 yards. Was it Novak or
Fisher?" To this Joe's only re
sponse was a low gutteral sound
which I interpreted to mean "That
was the water boy, you dope."
Just then I was momentarily dis
tracted as someone screamed,
"Look, up in the sky! Is it a bird,
is it a plane, it's yup, it's a
bird," as an eagle swooped down
majestically to land in its nest,
section C, row 2.
But back to the game. It was
second quarter with only five
minutes left before the half. I
sat and pondered how the mighty
DiBiase who seeuied so powerful
in Ed. class could so resemble an
ant this height. I could barely
distinguish the players numbers
even with my bifocal harlequins
adjusted for long distance range.
Now, just what is that Boy Scout
Frosh Gridclers
Play Iowa State
Opening game for the Husker
Frosh is Oct. 21 at Ames where
they will engage the Iowa State
Freshman eleven.
A game is also scheduled later
in the fall with Kansas State
freshmen.
Candidates on the Frosh squad
are being tested on a grade sys
tem based on their showing in
the weekly scrimmages. The
boys are given every opportunity
to advance their position from
! . r,. :
wee to wee. r uiurc scrim
mages will be intra team and
with the "B" team.
The squad members are trying
hard and setting their sights on
varsity berths next year. This
year's freshman squad is to be a
proving ground lor the varsities
of the future. The record turn
out of 200 men indicates that
Husker teams in the next few
years may return Nebraska to its
pre-war national piominance.
I In spite of the large turnout,
; the squad will not be handicapped
by lack of individual attention.

doing? Surely it's not cold enough
for a campfire today, but what
else would he be doing with those
two sticks? Joe, what's he
threatening us for? Oh, he's yell
ing for us to move up a row!
How can we? We'll be outside the
stadium and I didn't bring my
suction cup shoes. Oh, it s the
Eta Bita Pie block moving up,
but how can they get the whole
fiat in two seats?
Waving our tickets vainly in
the Boy Scout master's face, we
balanced ourselves upon the top
stadium railing and dejectedly
wondered about the cost of re
served seats on the roof of Avery
Lab. Then the spirit of our Alma
Mater stirred our loyalty enough
to give out with a heart warming
yell. This was our big moment.
I grasped Joe's hand emotionally
and we belcony lovers lifted our
voices as the echo in the Famous
NU cheer.
The team was spurred to greater
things by our stadium shaking
nthusiasm. First down, ten to go!
But wait there's a fly on the
binocular line, or is it only the
coke man struggling up the aisle?
"Down in front," accompanied by
flying coke bottles, soon laid the
obstruction flat in his tracks.
Cheers rang out. "Can it be
they're for the departed coke
man?" Joe grabs me and we
hurtle down the ramp. I protest
ed, shouting, "I want to see the
end of the game!" But as I was
pushed down the steps with the
surging crowd, I ralized the game
was over. I wondered who'd won.
So I fooled 'em. I didn't go home.
No sir! I walked right up to the
scoreboard and found out the
news for myself. We'd won! And
wasn't that some game too? Joe
and I surely were glad wc were
among the more fortunate who got
season tickets in the stadium.
All men interested in gym
nastics should report to the
basement of the Coliseum, Oct.
30, at 4 p. m., according to
Phil Sprague, roach.
