slang, although it has much in common
with all other slang, yet has peculiari-
ties of its own. In consequence many
of the more commonly used idioms in
the student world are meaningless to
the uninitiated.
A list of slang expressions recently
compiled at the University of Michigan
contains over 400 different words and
phrases. About 100 of these belong ex-
clusively to the student. Many of the
expressions are simply authorizations
which are adopted as a matter of econ
omy. The student, instead of saying
"the University of Michigan football
eleven" says the varsity eleven" So
when speaking of the other organiza-
tions, e. g., the varsity nine," the war
sity glee and banjo club" etc.
How students Are known.
The students of the seven depart
ments are known as Its" flaws"
"medics," engineers" ."pharmics,"
"homeops" and dents" and the post
graduate students as 'p. g.'s." A wom-
an student is spoken of as a ''co-

In the medical department n cadaver
is called o "stiff." A spread" which is
an informal and diminutive banquet in
students room, is generally given
when "boX from home" is received.
"Fudges" are kind of bonbons con-
cocted out of sugar, butter, milk and
chocolate in the students rooms.

Sometimes the women in the law de-
partmcnt are designated as ''sisters-at-
law" Students specializing in chem
istry are occasionally called "chemics."
A few years ago there were "one-year
men" in the law department. These
were generally persons with some expe-
rience in legal affairs who entered the
department and remained year so as
to secure a degree.

according to the amount of effort re-
quired on the part of the student. The
instructors lecture" quiz" or give
"exams" (examinations). The student
who is absent from n recitation is said
to have 'bolted," while one who was
present but failed to recite correctly
"flunked." After an "exam" students
are rated, according to the success with
which they have solved the problems or
answered the questions, as passed"
"coned" (conditioned or "plucked."
In certain courses, particularly those in
the medical department, the examina-
tons are given in the form of "star"
(star chamber). Here the instructor
meets his students one at time in his
private room and gives them a search
ing oral quiz.
Studying.
Studying is called "bohning," and
when student believes that he has his
lesson unusually well he announces the
fact by the expression "down pat"
Success in the quiz room or in the ex-
animation is made known by the
phrase, Knocked the instructors eye

and the book or paper used "horse" or

A freshman is termed ''fresh,"
"freshie" or "freshlet." Sophomores
are 'sophs." Another way of locating

Little Permnnency.

Nearly always the students have nick

characterize some popularity of the
