Editorial Comment
Fair System Wanted . . .
One rather glaring assumption appears In the
Letterip printed in Thursday's Daily Nebraskan.
The author wrote: "Persons ought to be mature
enough to know that moderation in driving pays;
yet, the number of accidents on highways from
driving at high speeds can only show that exist
ing laws should be more strictly enforced."
She evidently was drawing an analogy between
driving and the Associated Women Students point
system. If we are to follow this reasoning, we had
better examine it a little farther. First, enforcing
laws may help, but they won't stop a driver
from seeing if the speedometer will reach 110
miles per hour, unless he himself has enough
sense; likewise, strict enforcement of a women's
point system will not stop a coed from "killing
herself in activities" if she is so foolish. Along
the auto-point system comparison, we might also
suggest complete eliminaIon of both cars and
activities. Then we wouldn't have car accidents
or overworked activity girls.
However, since we feel this somewhat imprac
tical, the logical and fair attitude to take would
be one to correct faults in the present set-up of
which there are many. Before spring elections,
Nancy button, now president of AWS, stated in
The. Daily Nebraskan that she favored a point
system, "but if a coed can maintain a high enough
accumulated average she should be allowed more
points.' As the Letterip stressed, the new board
had met only once. We should remember, how
ever, there is only one month left of school.
Whether AWS intends to carry out the platform
on which the president was elected remains to
be seen. The board, according to the Letterip, real
izes need of revising the system, and in that
statement they certainly are to be commended.
Let us examine other points. A point system
. has been advocated that will . . above all be
permanent." This could be one of the downfalls
of any system. Certainly any schedule should
be somewhat permanent, but it should be flexible
-enough to change if the activity or office changes
or a revision is deemed necessary. A system that
can and does change its evaluation when the occa
sion demands is meeting change of times in a
rapid moving society.
When evaluating offices and positions for women,
AWS should te especially thorough in their ex
amination in order to place the number of points
in correspondence to the amount of work hours re
quired by the office. . Jobs which presently carry
points shrould merit the number assigned from
the standpoint of responsibility required and time
required.
Aims of the point system are very noble. The
first is to prevent any coed from taking too much ! s
time from academic work. Here we snouia ae
pend on good judgment of the coed, or on a point
system which allows a coed to carry more activi
ties as her average improves. If Miss Button's
idea of a flexible point system, considering the
scholastic average were established, coeds would
be less critical of a point system.
There are thorns here too. If such a system were
tried, we would suggest AWS start at a reason
able average one that would ' not require a stu
dent to have practically an 8.0 average. Particu
larly along this line we should expect flexibility.
To put it in concrete form if a coed having a 6.5
average were allowed to carry a few more points,
one having a 7.0 should be" allowed more. Any
coed with a 7.5 or 8.0 average certainly has enough
intelligence to be permitted to carry as many
activities as she desires.
As for the second aim of the point system en
couraging a large number of students to partici
pate in activities we seriously wonder if a point
system has any effect one way or another. We
fail to see evidence that it encourages other
coeds, not previously in activities, to participate.
The third problem a coed may "skimp in the
organization which elected her, of the service and
time it expects of her" if she carries too many
activities. That should be left to the coed. She's
cutting off her own nose here; it shouldn't be
the concern of 17 coeds on AWS board.
Of course, we favor elimination of the entire
point system basing this stand on one premise:
At college age, a coed, herself, should want to
preserve her health; she should want to do jus
tice to every task she undertakes; she should be
mature enough to draw the line on the amount
of work she can carry, both scholastically and
extra-curricularly. No other body should dictate
this. If she hasn't realized it when she gets to
college there is still a possibility she will during
school years. She can never mature if every move
she makes along the initiative path is tightly
restricted by a board of other women.
Thus, perhaps every AWS member and women
on the University campus should ask herself: "Am
I mature enough to decide limits of my own ca
pacities or should I have an outsider tell me?"

New Mexico April Fool's Menu
Includes Rate Slaiv, Fake Cake
By Connie Gordon
April will be long gone, but we're still getting
news about some of the April Fool's editions of
many college newspapers all over the country.
The Daily Lobo tells us about some April Fool's
papers that are worth repeating.
The Chase, ENMITs student newspaper, quotti
the following menu for April Fool's day at the
dining halL It read: "Litter of fritters, mustard
custard, teenie weenies, spaghetti confetti, wavy
Navy gravy, raw slaw, mellow jello, fake cake,
dry lye pie and hotter water (steam)."
A connesseur's delight!
One of the April Fool advertisements in fis
DiamendUne, of the University of Maryland paper,
satirized one of the popular national brands. It
stated In big black letters. "We Damn Them All!"
The advertisement contained a picture of a deathly
sick stadent puffing a Phil thy Morsel cigarette.
Another picture showed him happy as a lark after
a drag from his regalar brand.
This newspaper also included the Shucks ad
for Ptomaine's Domain.
So much April fooling for now.

That's the news till now.
It seems that Yale is having its cheating troubles,
too. Last week, 625 Yale men were forced to re
take an economics test because there had been a
leak and many of the students knew the essay
questions before the test was given to them.
That's all the pilfered material for today.

Three Students
Given Awards
Three former University stu
dents have been awarded out
standing fellowships which will
penxfit them to continue their
advanced studies.
Mr. and Mrs. Snell Putney of
Lincoln have received a $4,000
fellowship from the Dohrty
foundation of Princeton univer
sity which will permit them to do
a year of field work in Mexico.
They are currently studying at
the University of Oregon. Mrs.
Putney received her M.A. degree
in sociology last summer at Ne
braska and Putney, the M. A. in
philosophy.
Wayne Wheeler, who received
the M A. in sociology at the Uni
versity of Nebraska in 1949, has
been awarded a Swedish govern
ment fellowship for field work
and study in Sweden next year.
Wheeler is currently a teaching
assistant at the University of

SAMSON AND DELILAH Cecil
B. DeMille has long contended
that a great motion picture could
be made from any 60 pages of
the Bible. DeMille's Technicolor
"Samson and Delilah," at the
Lincoln adds additional proof to
his statement, along with "King
of Kings," "The Ten Command
ments" and "The Sign of The
Cross."
Victor Mature and Hedy La
marr take the stellar roles in the
story based on the Holy Bible,
Judges 13-16. ' ,
As the mighty Samson, Vic
tor Mature turns irt a remark
able portrayal. He not only
looks the part of the strong man
of Gaza but plays it so convin
cingly that his destruction of the
Philistine temple proves accept
able to the imaginatoin.
Breathtakingly beautiful in her
first Technicolor picture, Hedy
Lamarr is a provocative Delilah.
Familiar scenes included in the
picture are Samson's destruction
of the Philistine temp' a, his bare
handed battle with a lion, Sam
son's assault on ,1,000 Philistine
soldiers and a wedding feast
brawl.
THE THING "Get-out-of-here
with that-Da-Da-Da-and don't

now playing at the Varsity.

Dent School Shows Displays
Of Work Due hy Students
Another of the interesting dis
plays to be seen during College
Days is the Dental college display.
Dr. Knapp, 'chairman of the dis
play, has announced that there
will be a booth with pertinent
information in the dental library.
Also there will be displays of the
work done by the dent students.
The main feature of a tour
through upper Andrews will be
the classrooms themselves. They
are places seldom seen by anyone
but the people who work there.
For that reason, the classrooms
will be open to public inspection
at various times through the day.
' Tours Originate at Union
The tour, which will originate
at the Union, will include glances
at actual classes, clinical practices
and technical labs.
Available information, prepared
for interested high school stu
dents, will tell of the require
ments that are necessary to get
into pre-dent.
Visitors to third floor, Andrews
are often awed by the impressive
displays that are an integeral
part of any dent student's school
life. There are teeth, fillings,
plates and bridges of all sizes in
the casas of the offices.
On the main floor, there are
dozens of fully equiped dental
chairs, the drills hanging above
waiting for use.
Classes 'As Usual'
During the tours classes will go
on as usual and visitors will be
able to see future dentists work
ing on actual patients. The stop
at the college will take about
half an hour, according to Dr.
Knapp.
AH questions will be answered
m regard to entrance into pre
dent and requirements. For those
who aren't planning on going to
school, it will be interesting too.
As one excited visitor exclaimed,
"All those teeth and no mouth."
Be sure and put the dental college
on your list of places to see.
Engineers Display Work
Illustrations of textbook prin
ciples of science were shown
Thursday afternoon ' and night
for visitors of the Thirty-ninth
annual Engineers' week at the
University.
Exhibits were displayed from
2 to 10 p. m. in seven buildings.
About 800 students have been
preparing for the event since
last fall. The exhibits are ex
amples in the fields of agricul
tural, architectural, chemical,
civiL electrical and mechanical
engineering and engineering me
chanics. Some of the outstanding ex
hibits are:
Rockets and flying saucers in
action, propelled by liquid air.
Steps in sugar refining in
cluding a lemon drop machine.
Stilts which raise a tractor
high enough so that it can be
used in almost full-grown corn
for spraying of the corn borer.
A display of drawings by pro
fessional and student engineers
from all over the world.
An automatic telephone sys
tem. A model of the city of Lincoln,
showing ways to meet traffic
problems and a project demon
strating flood control.
Co-chairmen of E Week are
Clayton Hansen, senior in chem
ical engineering and Glen John
son, ag engineer.

ROYAL WEDDING Fred
Astaire dancing on the ceiling,
Jane Powell singing a royal pa

Co-feature "Wyoming Mail"
showcases the period in the
American frontier when the Unit

was seriously endangered by the
threat of outlaw raider bands op
