W. A. A. Proposes Change
In Award Points System
The Woman's Athletic association j j
voted recently lll a change to be made \.
iu the points-system of awards. This I
change can lie made only by vote of j ,
two-thirds of the whole women student i
body, and Article VII of the Constitu- j
tion states that the proposed amend- ,
ments shall be officially published be- ; |
fore such vote is taken, [.
The changes suggested are: 11
1. That class numerals shall In- I
awarded for ."it 10 points, instead of [
1,(1(10.
-. That a "G" shall lie awarded ;
for 7."i" points, instead of 1,500.
•'!. That a star for It 1 points be
discarded.
4. That a sweater shall be awarded ,
for 1 ..sou points, instead of ,'i,ooo. L
The association felt that these |
changes would make it possible for sttt- j.
dents to wear their numerals and "G's" I.
While undergraduates, instead of hav- ,
ing to wait until their last year as the j
rigid requirements have forced them
to do heretofore.
