STORIES ABOUT WORDS.

Modern "orchestras" never revert to the etynological and historical signifi canoe of their name. An orchestra" was properly a dancing place-the space between the stage and the audi torium, where the ancient Greek chor- us went through its evolutions. Then, in Roman times, when the chorus had retired to the stage and finally disap- peared. the name meant that part of the house where the senators sat, the front seat so that Juvenal even speaks of the senate as "the orchestra" And then, when the band took up its place before the stage, "orchestra' came to mean what it does today. It is not the only word from which the dancing as- sociations have vanished. Chorus" it. self originally meant a dance, and a rballad' was a dance song, "ballare" meaning in late Latin to dance.
 Tn connection with humbug,' bug bear and .goldbug,' it may be observ- ed," says the London Chronicle, that gestfon of terror to the American mind. Bug is freely used in Amerf- can for any kind of insect Our Eng fish word, however, is directly affiliat- ed to the Celtic word, which meant a demon or bogey. It is conjectured that when the objectionable insect became acclimated here, which was not many centuries ago, the terror of its attacks it's old sense in Shakesp espeare-'This Warwick was a bug that feared us all' and the terror by night is sbugge by nyght' in old Bibles"
 Mob is the only one of the aibbrevi- ated words protested against by Dean Swift which has conquered even the purists of speech .Incog" is still short of responsibility, and ''phiz" (phyciognomy) very far so. However, other abbreviated forms have won. A cabriolet is a ''ca'b'' to everybody now, though to Dickens MT. Raddle it was still "cabrioly." Miss" for "mis- tress,'' piano for "pianoforte," and sweets" for 'sweetmeats" are univer- sal. Nevertheless many people still apologize for bus instead of "onni- bus" and wage a losing fight against
 pIlone'' and against photo"

AWARDS OF "U"

Considerable interest is being arous-
cd lately over the matter OF awards
Mt the university. some students con-
tending that the n.y. should be re-
served for athletes and that some other
form of award should be provided for
other activities, such as the Chronicle,
the dramatic club and debates. others
perhaps more rightly that people
competing with outside schools should
be awarded the block letter, but
basketball and debatcrs only after
they have brought victory home to
their school. Only awards "U" in track
10 winners Of firsts In dual meets and
winners of points in state meets. In
football only make awards for the big
games and leave the matter with the
councils as to how much they should
require before they are entitled to
this award. When some thing like this
Is done then and not till then Will
Utah take her place among the schools
OF her rank in every way. 1t must be
remembered that is one big reason
why university graduates have not
been considered eligible to the Uni
VersIty club until just within the last
