Monotonous Beat
Stirs Coeds' Sleep
To the beat, beat, beat of a mys.
terious Wednesday night tom-tom,
Women's Building coeds have to
sleep, study, and play bridge.
Starting at 10 p. in., the music
continues until the wee morning
hours.
Tracers of the drum-like tunes
found that it all comes from an
exhaust pipe, an outlet on the
'Sparks side of Pond Laboratory
basement. A liquid air plant is
stationed in the cryogenic labora
tory for use of graduate and re
search students in chemistry.
Sheldon E. Frey '42 is the grad
uate student in charge of operat
ing the air compressor which pro
duces a liquid air supply for a
week. The product is used to de
termine physical and chemical
measurements at low tempera
tures. Each exhaust blast of the
plant causes the dull beat heard
by persons in the vicinity.
With only a few minutes rest,
the machine ran through a 48-
hour endurance test last week,
during which time coeds found
themselves doing everything in
time to the rhythmic beat, beat,
beat.
We l she Women
Life Begins At 40—
Activities End There
Do you know that WSGA limits
the activities of coeds to allow
others to share in membership and
official responsibility?
In an attempt to equalize coed
activities, WSGA Senate inaug
urated a point system last Fall.
Original purpose of ° the system
was to prevent a few coeds from
monopolizing positions and to en
courage others to participate in
activities.
Points based on reports from
all organizations were allotted vto
members and to officers. With
the quota set at 40 points, notifi
cations are sent to coeds who ex
ceed that limit.
Acting under the auspices of
Senate, WSGA . Junior Service
Board visited dormitories to regis
ter coeds and to list their activi
ties and offices.
We wish to point out, that al
though several seniors. carried
more than their allotted number
of points last semester, the law
was not retroactive and included
only freshmen, sophomores, and
juniors.
This year it will affect all
classes.
Although this system -is a vital
and democratic addition •to wo
men's government, it will work
successfully only if every coed
understands and. attempts to obey
it.
As the system is in an experi
mental stage, suggestions for im
provement will be welcomed by
Senate
Ideas thus far expressed include
allowing additional points for a
superior All-College average and
having activity heads send in
monthly reports of members and
officers to be checked by Service
Board or Senate..
Today , and tomorrow, Service
Board will register upperclass
women. 'This year will be . the
telling tale. It is up to you to
make or break the point system.
