"In an attempt to carry out
the purposes of the AWS
point system in a more sat
isfactory way. the AWS board
has recently thoroughly reJ
vised the program." accord
ing Irs Nancy "Tederman,
chairman of the AWS point
system.
The AWS point system pro
posed for 1861 is defined by
this general statement: "No
woman student at the Univer
sity may be a member of
more than three organiza
tions, two of which she may
be a chairman, officer, "or
board member. Honoraries
and professional organizations
do not count."
The general rules are:
(1) No woman may hold
more than one presidency
with the exception of hon
oraries and professional
groups.
(2) No woman may be a
member of more than two
boards. Boards include ex
ecutive officers, regular
boards (such as AWS Board,
and IWA Board) and spe
cial cases depending on the
organization.
(3) No woman may hold
more than two chairman
ships. (4 No woman may hold
member of more than three
activities with the excep
tion of honoraries and pro
fessional organizations.
The following are consid
ered boards: Ag Exec board,
Ag Student Union, AUF board,
AWS board, Builders board,
IWA board, Student Union
board (program council mem
bers) for city and ag cam
puses, Tassels junior board,
WAA board, Ag YWCA board,
YWCA executive board, Red
Cross board, the pledge
trainer of the sorority.
Student Council officers and
holdover senior members,
Panhellenic president and
vice president, Cornhusker
managing editor, section edi
tor, panel editor, assistant
business managers and the
Daily Nebraskan junior and
senior staff writers, copy edi
tors and assistant business
managers.
The following are consid
ered as memberships: Aqua-
quettes, Orchesis, debate
team, Huskerettes, Cadence
Countesses, cheerleaders, Mu
dent Tribunal. Student Coun
cil, presidents of professional
groups, presidents of Honor
aries, assistants to chairmen
of any activity and the schol
arship chairman, social chair
man, treasurer and standards
board chairman of sororities.
The exception to the treas
urers are those of Chi Omega,
Sigma Kappa and Love Me
morial Hall.
Presidencies include the fol
lowing: presidents of all or
ganizations with the exception
of honorariesNHtd-arotfissional ! campus organizations bv nro-
groups, presidents of sororfcrftdiiig 4&ejnjirith officers who
ties and dorms, the editor,
associate editors, and b u s i
ness manager of the Corn
husker, and the editor, man
aging editor, news editor, and
business manager of the Daily
Nebraskan.
Miss Tederman said that
this new point system will be
in effect for the women
students in the forthcoming
elections and thus should be
considered very seriously.
The purpose of the po i n t
system is three-fold:
1) To increase efficiency of
will have sufficient time to
devot to the proper execution
of their duties.
2) To benefit the individual
student, protecting her health
and assuring her time to ful
fill satisfactorily her scholas
tic requirements by guiding
her selection of the number
of extra-curricular activities
in which she can participate.
3) To benefit the campus as
a whole by distributing activ
ity offices among the many
students capable of assuming
responsibility.
In order to more success
fully carry out this purpose
the AWS Board has decided
to drop the previous sytem
for pointing activities, which
was based on a total of eight
points. Miss Tederman said
that the new simplified sys
tem categorizes the various
activities and offices in these
activities rather than pointing
them.
If a woman student feels
she is over-pointed, she may
appeal to the point court. If
the rules are violated, the
court can make the girl drop
an activity.
Larly Registration
Fee Paying Set
For Exam Period J HC
Plans hae been made for early registra
tion and fee paying for the second semester by
a Student Council committee working in con
junction with the registrar.
On Jan. 17, 18, 19, students will pick up
appointment cards for paying fees in the Pan
American room of the Student Union. Each
student will choose the day and half hour in
which he wishes to pay fees,
provided that there are still
cards available for that day
and half hour. The days for
paying fees are Jan. 29, 30
and 31 in tne r nysicai edu
cation building. Fees were
formerly paid during semes
ter break and students were
just assigned a time.
Early registration and fee
paying stresses the responsi
bility of the individual stu
dent to carry his share of
the load in order to make
the process a smooth one.
The individual student will
be responsible for 1) obtain
ing the necessary early regi
stration materials from the
appropriate place; 2) seeing
his adviser during the advis
ing period; 3) turning in his
own worksheet at the proper
time and location; 4) picking
up his own appointment card
n one of the three designat
ed day; 5) keeping his ap
pointment for paying fees.
The appointment system re
duces the time spent paying
fees to approximately 15 min
utes. Since the days for pay
ing fees are the last three
days of the final examination
period, each student should
be sure that the time he
chooses does not conflict with
his final examinations. It is
strongly recommended that
each student have several
time preferencts in mind in
case his first preference is
not available.
' This system is not merely
an administrative conveni
ence to regulate the flow of
students. Rather, it is an ef
fort to accommodate the stu
dent, whose appointment card

Nebraska schools attracted
60 per cent of the teachers
graduated from the Umver
sity last year according to
the annual teachers placement

This percentage indicates
that perhaps University
trained teachers are becom

the state for other parts of
the country.

activities of the 1960-61 school

Show Bronze
Sculpture
Thirty-two pieces of bronze
sculpture created by Univer
sity art professor David W.
Seyler are on display now in
the Morrill Hall art galleries.
These pieces represent the
work which Prof. Seyler has
produced since 1958. Many of
them were done while he was
on a year's leave of absence
from the University to Italy.
The sculptures were pro
duced by the "lost wax cast
ing art" during 1959-60 in
Florence, Italy. A grant from
the Woods Charitable Founda
tion permitted Prof. Seyler to
study in Europe.
The exclusive Tornabuoni
dealers' art gallery in Flor
ence, held a one-man exhibi
tion of Prof. Seyler's work.
The same show as is on dis
play in Morrill Hall also was
displayed in Vienna and the
American House in Munich.
Prof. Seyler joined the Uni
versity in 1948 and has taught
subjects in painting, composi

However, the division

director of the placement di
vision, said that Nebraska
schools seem to be doing a
better job in holding their
teachers. This has been no
ticeable in the division's re
port for the past two years,
he added.
He noted that Nebraska
schools made 2,494 requests,
172 more than last year, and
was able to attract 60 per
cent of the teachers who ac
cepted new positions.
Dr. Meierhenry also pointed
out that California submitted
4,328 requests, 77 more than
the previous year, but only
42 Nebraskans accepted posi

vious year.

Colorado received the sec

the previous year was 2,732.
In other words, the increase
in one year was almost equal
to the total number of re

He also reported that of the
graduating seniors last June,
185 of them signed contracts
in Nebraska, while 82 took po
sitions out of the state.
Requests were received
from 93 Nebraska counties
and placements were made in
65 of the counties.
The report also shows that
the biggest shortage is in ele
