CO-ED ATHLETES WISH TO ENTER A CONFERENCE FOINT SYSTEM TO BE USED Women'e Athletic Association May Be Admitted to the National Organization With the drudgery of actually draw ing and writing clown a Constitution and By-Laws over at last, the biggest step is taken toward the organization and functioning of a worth-while Wo men's Athletic Association of the Uni I versity of South Carolina. The committee appointed at the nee - ing of the Association several days ago has been holding long sessions daily to discuss and construct the proposed con stitution. One of the most difficult problems to decide was the system to be used in awarding honors.

The committee dis cussed the advisability and will submit plans to the Association for action. It is a question whether the point system will make participants work more for points or for the love of play. The slogan inaugurated in the Constitu tion is "Fun for All, and All for Fun" and every effort will be expended to make every woman in the University share equally in athletic activities. The Hiking club will be organized thi~s week, its initial activity being a wennie roast, Saturday afternoon. Ang woman is cordially invited to attend and bring ten cents to have a wennie -the pot.
