"FOR TIIE GLORY OF OLD STATE" "VOL 27, No. 25 5 WOMEN LEADERS FAVOR REVISION IN SCHOLAR ELECTION tl Co-ed Activities Heads Oppose Suggested Nomination by Class Committee SENIOR PRESIDENT SEES NEED FOR NEW SYSTEM Upperclass Students Advocate Elimination of Existant Academic Method. Five of eight leaders in women's activities fawn a change in the pies ent system of nominating candidates for class scholarships. "With a committee composed of both men and women elected in joint class meeting and having the men's-and WOMell'S presidents as ex-officio mem bers, the selection of nominees could be made more eaiefully than is pos sible under the present procedure," declared Miss E Louise Kolfedits, president of the women's senior class, when questioned concerning the sug gested revision. Opposition to this view was ex pressed by Miss E. Louise Mar quaidt, president of the Junior worn on, who contends that with sufficient publicity given to ,the nominating meeting the desired results could be obtained without alteration of the present method, while the class would not be demi, ed of one of its most impoitant functions Miss Edna R. Rceleiick, president of Archousai, senior uomen's honor ary society, corroborates the state ment made by Miss Hoffeditz, adding that the committee method could tend td` eliminate political influence in the selection This view is shared by Miss Rose A. Barr '3l, who has held Formal scholarships, Miss Mary T Davenport '3l, president of YNI C A., and Miss Ruth Crowthers '33, presi dent ..of Alpha Lambda Delta„fresh man women's honoi'ary scholastic fra ternity. Advocating the retention of the class meeting fqr nominating scholar ship candidates, Miss Angelin Bress ler, president of the sophomore class, and Miss Dons M. Acker, president of the freshman women, declined that this system gives each member of the class an opportunity to nominate, and tetnoves all possibility of complaint.
