Complications arising from the adoption of the point system, which limits the number of extra- curricular activities in which a student may par- ticipate, forced the Council to revise it. Realizing the incompetency and unfairness of the system, the Council adopted the proposal offered by the Mortar Board, original sponsors of the plan. Under EDWIN Fl-EMING the new program, a direct ratio between aca- demic attainment and the number of extracurri- cular activities for which a student is eligible was adopted. Enforcement of the point system was made more effective in the light of previous violations. The M awards given for service to the school were limited and departmental awards were presented in recognition of lesser services. Continuing the policy of awarding M's strictly on the basis of merit was another notable achievement of the year. Other activities of the Council included the establishment of a permanent record contain- ing the minutes of the Students Association for the past three years and the sponsorship of the Fire Wheel Frolics program. The spring election of officers of the Students Association and the installation of the new Council brought the activities of the year to a close.
