Point System Is Revised; Women's Activities Limited
Will Keep Students Point on File; Individuals Are Held for Own
Revision of the point system of W. S, G. A' was completed this week. No great changes have been made in the new ones. Several new ones have been added.
A card system file of the point maintained by each student will be kept in complete form for reference although the individual is responsible for his own rating. Cooperation of all organisations is asked, in compiling this record, the revised lists of the nurseries, clubs, publications, and directories may be sent to the point system manager on or before Feb. 29.
Provision for Penalties
"Any committee found to be functioning without sending the names of all the point system manager for approval will beABLEd 14 severe penalty," said Dean Humbach. "The point system manager is the eligibility chairman for management in any and all policies."
The revision was made so that the students 'who were' over-burdened with activities because of their capability to help others in injury to their health and scholarship. As a result, others will be given an opportunity to participate in activities and thereby receive invaluable training in organizational work and executive ability.
Activities and Work Equalized
The scale by which the point system has been measured, allows a maximum of 40 points for seniors, 40 for younger students, and 20 for freshmen. According to this proportion, the senior is able to perform twice as many activities as the sophomore, and the junior twice as many as the freshman. In this way, the school's goals and his activities may be equalized.
The office of the president of Corbyn hall has been added to the system. This position may be held only by a senior because her responsibilities require it. The noxity house presidents receive more credit under the new system, because of their increase duties; more, they were permitted 10 tests.
Only a senior may hold some of the offices because of their high rating. Interpretation of the rule, however, is subject to change through recommendation of the system manager to the W. S. G. A. council
The undergraduate representative of the W. C. A. holds an im-
mployment in the medical of work. Under the old system, the
received no credit for the activity.
Glee Club Not Activity
Glee Club and orchestra members who are enrolled in the School of Fine Arts will not receive points.

Old Eldridge Hotel Will Be Replaced by New Structure
Contract to Be Let April 1:
Actual Work to Begin
on Hostelry Soon
Afterward
Tearing down the old Eldridge house to make way for the $29,000 new Eldridge house roles Lawrence of its most historic landmark, and leavers Fresser hall as one of the few remaining monuments of early Lawrence.
Plans for the new hotel have been approved by the owner, W. G. Hutson, and the hotel committee of the Chamber of Commerce. They call room reservations with 165 guest rooms, each with a bath and outside windows.
Hotel Stands Since 1863
The contract for tearing down the old building, which has been standing since 1863, and construction of the building, will be bt. about April 1, and actual work will start soon afterwards.
The Eldridge hive stood on the last great link that binds the Kansas of history to the Kansas of today. There is no building in the state that is so rich in historic intuitions. It may be said, come case Kansah, the Eldridge house was built for the purpose of building Kansas. No other building, possibly, ever was so linked with the destinies of a state.
Dives to Territorial Days
The first dive back to the dock is to territorial days. The dive is be the mouth to be erected on the pot that first held the old Free French diver.
The first, the Free State hotel, was built by the New England Emigrant Aid Society in 1855. It was erected from Massachusetts, and from New England, and to assist in its work of colonizing Kansas. It was destroyed May 21, 1866, by a party of slave-men led by "Sheriff" Jermaine.
Upon the ruins of the Free State hotel, Col. Shalor Winchell Eldridge, one of the most dominant factors in the fight for the free state, built a new hotel and called it the Eldridge Hotel. The first time it was being burned, Colonel Eldridge issued this defiance: "You may burn it. But every time you burn it down I will erect another hotel in its place and will add a story to it." Colonel Eldridge, true to his description, made it four stories high. It far surpassed the old Free State hotel in every way.
Present Structure in 1863
Quantrill's raid came in 1863, and with it came the destruction of the city. The raid resulted in a depleted fortune because of stringent financial conditions caused by the Civil War, Colonel Elldridge proceeded to erect another hotel. He made this one only three stories tall, but the hotel that he will pass to make room for the New Eldridge house.
