FRIDAY: APR A.. 2,19 M
Activity Point Plan
Rejected by Senate
The proposed activity point system for women was rejected and
alternate suggestions for increasing participation 'in extra-curricu
lar activities discussed Wednesday night by Senate of Women's Stu
dent Government Association.
Margaret Crooks, chairman of the point system investigating
committee, presented the committee's findings and recommended
that the idea be dropped. She said
that the committee's study re
vealed that there would be too
much diffibulty in enforcing such
a system to make it practical. She
explained that a survey of other
college . where the, system is in
effect -s ho wed that it does not
work will.
Senate agreed to discuss the
committee's alternate suggestions
for increasing activities participa
tion at its next ,retreat.
The committee's proposals cen-1
ter chiefly on increased publicity
and orientation of the various ex
tra-curricular activities open to
women. They include active pub
licity campaigns on the part of
organizations themselves to enlist
new members, meetings of the
heads of different campus groups
to discuss and evaluate plans for
increasing participation, follow
ups of orientation activities ex
planations through talks or skits
at dormitory meetingS, and pub
licizing honors available for Wo
men in extra-curricular activities.
Under the proposed plan coeds
would have received points . for
offices held in extra-curricular ac
tivities, and each woman would
have been limited in the number
of points she is allowed to accum
ulate.
Spreads Honors
Miss Crooks said the advantages
of such a system were that it
would spread offices and honors
out to many, rather than restrict
ing them to a few; it would insure
an organization that its officers'
interests would be concentrated in
that organization; and that no wo
man would become overburdened
with activities,
She said, however, that the dis
advantages seemed greater than
the advantages. The disadvantages
she listed were that it would be
impossible to keep files up to date
to insure adequate enforcement;
too many people would be re
quired to check on activities, par
ticipation; it would be difficult to
arrive at a fair point evaluation
for activities and the evaluation
would have , to be revised fre
quently.
WSGA SurvOy
In presenting a report on the
recent WSGA survey conducted
in the• dormitories, Jane Reber,
town senator, said that 47 per cent
of the women were against such a
system while 46 per cent favored
it. She said the opposition came
mostly from junior and senior wo
men.
Other proposals gathered in the
survey will be discussed at the
retreat.
Mary Pettitgout was appointed
chairman of a committee to deter
mine a date for the WSGA re
treat. Other members of the com
mittee are Suzanne Loux, and Miss
Reber.
Nancy White, retiring WSGA
president, announced that the
'newly elected WSGA officers and
By ANN LEN
