CARNEGIE WORDS In
~" PUBLICATIONS

Two Of the most important student
publications at the University Of Min
nesotas will adopt the entire Carnegie
simplifed spelling list in future issues.
The Minnesota Daily, the newspaper
owned and run by the students, will
appear next week using the revised
sue of the Minnesota Magazine, the
monthly literary publication Of the in
stitution, will adopt similar policy.
The publishers say this innovation
is the result of a popular demand from
large number of students. Many
members of the faculty have been
strongly advocating its use in their
classes and about Is per cent of the
student body are already trying the
"3OO' word system, while the original
revised spelling Of the twelve words
has become current among probably
half the students.
