Open Letter Presents AWS Point System To Women Students Editor’s Note: The following let ter directed at women students is a presentation of the case for the Associated Women Students point system prepared by the AW'S cab inet. The plan is based on a sliding point scale which assigns a specific number of points to each campus job. Under the plan as originally presented, a maximum of 25 points would he allowed any one individ ual. Points would accumulate over one term only. Any person desiring to partici pate in activities in excess of the stated quota would be permitted to petition the AW'S council for an extension of activities. An Open Letter to all Women Stu dents : Within the next few weeks speakers will be sent to all wom en’s living organizations to ex plain and answer questions on the proposed point system which is aimed at raising the quality of activities in general through plac ing an upper limit on activities which a woman student may en gage in during a particular term. Following discussion, these speakers will take an informal vote i at each organization concerning only the principle Involved, which will be used in guiding further de cisions by the Associated Women Students’ activities board. Thus all women are to be given a chance to express their feelings. The principle as we see it is this: There would be no limitation on how hard a woman student might work on the allowable number of activities, merely a maximum num ber of activities set which would not ordinarily be exceeded. (But machinery for appeals from the limit would be set up.) Thus, we believe, the general quality of acti vities at Oregon would be improv ed. There would be further advant age of spreading activities out somewhat. Vote on Principle • A definitely favorable vote on the principle will be the basis for further investigation into setting up a working plan; the presently proposed system of specific points for specific activities may or may not be the final plan. The newly elected AWS president will dis cuss the matter with representa tives to the national convention (please turn to page eight) Hostess Photos Get Last Call; Rules Listed Only two day* arc loft to turn In piciure* of Dad*' Day Hostess candidate*!
