PAGE 4 , THE DAILY NEBRASXAN Tuesday, May 15, 1951 A To have a women's point sys tem or not to have one. How to revise it or how not to revise it. These were questions facing AWS board members Monday at their open meeting where they heard student suggestions on the women's activity point system. Both objections and favorable comments were offered concern ing the present system and sug gestions for study, revision and re-evaluation were presented. Joan Kruger, representing The Daily Nebraskan, pointed out that none J the three point system objectives are being met at pres ent. She maintained that although ysvem pointed out several discrepancies in the existing table claiming that many activities were underpoint ed in relation to another activity. The board agreed that some re vision was necessary and pointed out that steps along this line al ready had been taken. Joan Hanson, Red Cross presi- member, pointed out that if a girl I dent, suggested that each AWS knows she has a chance to ad-i Doara memDer stuay an orgamza- vance in an activity because the tion for a specified period and next girl will not be able to fill i understand its purpose and the the position due to other obli',a-1 amount of work connected with tions, she will be encouraged to each position. In this way, she esfli n s Dj!vid v- foitz w in neccivc cerning the third point system ob jective encourageing more girls to participate in campus activities Miss Krueger asked for evi dence showing that any girl not already in activities would be di rectly or indirectly encouraged by the point system. Jean Loudon, sophomore board said, it will be possible to deter mine more fairly, a correct point ing table. Flexible System Sharon Fritzler, AWS board member, suggested the possibility of some sort of flexible system based on a girl's scholastic aver age. Miss Krueger favored this and suggested that the first aver age be set at 6.0. From there, the number of points allowed a coed could gradually be increased She maintained that any coed having 7.0 or 7.5 average should not be restricted. Barbara Raun, student attend ing tne meeting, opposed having a flexible pointing system because of the discrepancies in work re ! continue.

Con-1 completely re-evaluating it. She quired in various colleges. Some, . - she claimed, were much harder than others. With a 20 point maximum, she said, a coed is able to enter other activities and positions not pointed. Miss Krueger said this is one of the fallacies of the point sys tem since it failed to prevent a coed from "overworking,.' if she was so foolish. Evaluating Points Marilyn Moomey, vice presi dent of AWS, asked students in the audience if they felt AWS was qualified to evaluate the points. Several suggestions were offered to help the board evaluate them. In addition to Miss Hanson's suggestion, one student proposed that points be decided by a board composed of women in each ac tivity who hold the highest office. In this way, the board would be completely familiar with work connected with each organiza tion and its offices. AWS would continue to be the enforcement body. Miss Hanson stressed the im portance of not hurrying and rushing through some system. Miss Button suggested that AWS Music Degree David V. Foltz, associate pro fessor of music, will receive an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth Monday, May 28. Foltz, who has been a member of the ' University faculty since 1945, is conductor of the Univer sity Chorus, Madrigal Singers and the St. Paul Methodist church choir. Foltz is also head of the All-State Course in Fine Arts held on the campus each year in June. Besides , his University work, Foltz has been active as a con ductor of state choral festivals and clinics in many Nebraska cities and also in Mississippi, Iowa, Tennessee, Michigan, South Dakota, Kentucky and Illinois. , A member of the executive committee of the North Central Division of the Music Educa tors' National conference, Foltz is chairman of the Student mem bership and activities project of the conference. Student -Ailnients Run Rampant As Finals Appear, . Papers Due BY JANE RANDALL In taking stock of the variety o diseases and "bugs" that have invaded the campus during the past year, we find that the list is long, the number is numerous and few are fatal. With the onset of winter came the usual display of colds, coughs and influenza. When the cold and dry aspects began to array themselves in dominating defi ance over the run-of-the-mill snow flurries and blizzards, glandular fever and trench mouth set in. Finally, Valentine's Day rolled around. The "hearts and flow ers" theme began to grasp and gradually encircle its prey. Love sickness had come into its own again. .. . "Going Steady" ' Love sickness, though drastic means were employed to abolish it, did not perish from the cam pus population. Even the "going steady" quarantines that were found flourishing abundantly did not abate the effects of this rag ing menace. Instructors joined in the fight too. They issued many hundreds of down slips. Even this did not work. The virus that "love bug" now reigned supreme and in vincible. It seemed as though nothing in the old home remedy line or Student Health tactics that could beat down its rapid spread hiiamc more and more numer ous. Pop quizzes began to fly thick and fast. So did crib notes. Term Tapers Due Tilings didn't get any better. The end of the year, coming up soon, now, brought hopes of in structors coming into their own once again.
