TO that we say, "There is np typical coed and we hope there never will be!" We believe that college is the place for us to find self-expression; that there we 'are encouraged to find . the self we want to be and taught to mold our actions accord ingly. With that goal in mind there can be no typical coed. Individual ity is what we strive for. That 'individuality is not the ;kind that will, make us.conspicuous in the wrong way. • , Much has been said about the Penn State coed. What we - hear about her is now part of your responsibility.

New BETWEEN THE MOVIES Always Open Activities Under Point System A point system to limit the number of each woman's activities will, begin in September under the direction o4ghe two junior WSGA Senators, Xnn M. Bortons '42, chairman, has announced. Following a survey of more than 80 organizations, clubs and soror ities, offices and membership were scaled according to time and re sponsibility required. Each coed may have a certain number of of ficer and membership points, the quota to be determined in Septem ber. Cards recording every coed's activities for four years will be kept by WSGA. Present seniors will not have cards and women now above the quota need not drop any office or membership but will be prevented from adding any. Under present scaling, subject to revision, officer points run from I,_ 6,8, and so on to 28 while PAGE FIFTEEN membership points vary from 0 to 4. The system, approved by a vote of 437 to 86 women a year ago, was the outgrowth• of a WSGA House of Representatives survey which revealed that 352 of the 1,- 100 coeds, participated in , outside activities and that 25 of these car ried more than they could handle efficiently. The system is designed to help assure that each organization get officers with concentrated inter ests and to protect individuals from more extra-curricular activi ties than are safe for studies and health. `Pop In'.
