COLLEGIAN Women Petition System— Credit And Caution WS9 A Senate's decision to adopt the petition system in mak ing nominations and appointing committees is undoubtedly one of the biggest forward steps the co , eds' governing body has ever made. For years, women have had only . a hazy conception of the way nom inations and appointments were made becwse the system was in herently faulty. Most women en tered student government work either by luck or accident. Far too often, coeds possessing both ability and interest never found the entrance. The easy explanation—but, to our way of thinking, not the com pletely correct one—would be the old change of "sorority politics" and favoritism. But how were the 14 WSGA Senate members to know ambitions and abilities of 1,400 coeds? • It is to the credit of the present Senate that changes are being made. Under the new system, all coeds are invited to express their desire to serve in a particular ca pacity. Petitions, including 'in formation about other activities, All-College average, and previous experience (including pre-college work) may be given to hall or dor mitory presidents, WSGA Senate members, or left at the derin of women's office by February 20. It would be impossible for all applicants to be nominated for major offices. However, all names will he filed for future reference in naming committees. Probably the biggest factor in determining the success or failure of the plan will be the sincerity of the women who request posi tions. Before filing a petition, each woman should • ble • positive that she has ability, time,. and willingness to 'work diligently.

WINTER '44 This is no longer a man's world, for- many technical subjects have been invadied by at least one coed. In a survey of major courses taken by junior and senior women many have survived stiff grinds to work alone with more rugged males, striving toward chosen careers.

Supplanting men in every indus try, women skilled in non-techni cal, as well as More technical sub jects, should be in demand. The class of 1940 showed in a survey that 10 per cent were un employed after graduation; in 1941 this figure dropped to two per cent. • What the trend will be in the next few years cannot be determined, but with present con ditions, the percentages ought•, to drop to a fraction. .
