maximum.
The new scale will simplify re

activities a girl can carry will not
be drastically affected.

The investigation began last
summer with a poll of AWS board

cerning the point system
The
poll showed that all were in favor,
of a point system.
Other universities were polled j
and consulted. Many schools do
not have point systems and would
like to adopt them. Most of the
universities found the mechanics
of the system too difficult to man
age. The surveys and consultation
with the dean of women Droved
to the AWS board that the system!
performs an important function on
the campus and should
be re-
evaluated and maintained.
The point system committee
contacted the president of each

views were considered in point

That is the purpose of a send

Since 1927 the prize for win

Homecoming last year.
For several years the bell was
retained continuously by Mis

committee is planning to do all
it can to see that it stays here.
j Students will meet at the Bur

will leave at 9 p.m. The pep band
will be there along with Cobs,

Saturday the Innocents will go
to Missouri with the bell.

but no quiet, convenient place
to do it.
By comparing figures it is noted
that only 17 per cent of those who
regularly use the Library would
not continue to use it through
the week end.
Some thought it was especially
desirable to keep the Library
open near the end of the semester
when the books would be needed
for references in writing term
papers, and the halls are needed
ifor carrying on extensive pre
exam study.
A comprehensive review of the
results would indicate that the
