Kansan Comments Is the New Activity Point System The Real Answer for Leadership?
The activity point system should be analyzed in the light of its possible effect upon student life as it approaches the All-Student Council for its third and final reading. So far debate in Council has centered around the mechanics of the bill rather than on its advisability.
Exponents of the bill claim that by limiting participation of students in organizations and restricting the number of offices one may hold more leadership will be developed. With deadwood cut away, the organizations are to be infused with new life.
The need of more leadership and new life in organizations is a real one but is the activity point system the answer or does it just seem to be the easy way out? Will it actually accomplish these things?
Will it clear organizations of driftwood or will it cause a concentration of more capable students in certain groups with a consequent drying up or weakening of smaller organizations? Will it create leadership merely by making a place for it or would it be better to make an effort to get all students to participate actively in organizations and do away with the choice of the same person for any number of offices? Most of all, would it create the feeling of responsibility in choosing activities?
Students at the University have been struggling for generations to be recognized as adults. They have pleaded for the responsibilities which should be theirs as such. They have been jealous of any infringement on their freedom.
Does it not seem like backsliding, then, to impose a system of regimentation which admits that students do not have enough brains to limit their own activities? Can we ever again honestly petition for more voice in our affairs if we accept such childish limitations?—S.R.E.

Spring, ah spring. The season when a young man's fancy nightly turns to thoughts.
Spring — pinchcseason. Typica preparatory conversation:
"What ya' gonna' wear?"
"Jeans."
"What ya' gonna' wear?"
"Jeans."
"Gooh, what'll poor Jean wear?"
"Gosh, what'll poor Jean wear?"
Spring—season of winds. To many this is depressing and frightful. To many more, it is uplifting—and delightful.

Spring—season of rains. At night, when the moon comes out, astronomically you wonder if it is waxing or waning. But why worry. It's waning most of the time, that's for sure.
Spring-first sign. Everyone has a cold.

Spring—as uncertain as the draft status of the fraternity pledges.
Hoppin' in the rain.
Spring—Poor lil' robins

Don't know where to go
'But to go insane
'Bout to go insane.
I could tell them where to go And I guess I will
They can go—oh, you know where!
Any place but on the Hill!
Spring—in the East, they say that Dartmouth has a statue of the famous Revolutionary general. Howe, It's hidden in the dark interior of the library, and when the Dartmouth boys have their girls up on a nice spring weekend, they take them to the library to see Howe.

The campus male is a faithful
I like him.
Through thick and thin—through fall and sorine—
I like him.
He's never fickle—just true blue,
He saves his kisses all for you,
And how I wish that this were
