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
