price, all right. Slang is lazy mans
dialect.
DIR. w. w. Charters, professor of
theory of teaching, and dean OF the
faculty of education: Slang phrases
like "gets me" and believe me" strike
me as novel and absurd when l first
hear them. After while, l occasion
ally use them. When public speaker
drops in little slang, it takes away
a kind of stiffness from his speech.
Used by a girl or a fellow it makes
a poor impression.
G. C. Hosford, assistant professor of
law: Slang is expressive at times,
but it is often overdone. Good slang
helps the language to grow, for many
slang phrases become good English.
At times the language is inadequate to
express what you wish unless slang
is used.
ii. Wade Hibbard, professor of me-
chanical engineering: Slang has it's
place 1 feel that too great an in
diligence in slang is harmful. Often
one slang phrase will express a large
number of words, but the continual
use of such slang word would soon
cramp the language of the person US
ing it. When a word like terrible" is
used to cover large number of mean
ings, the vocabulary of the person
using the word becomes weakened.
Sometimes slang is expressive.
DIR. n. NJ. TrenhOlme, professor of
history: A certain amount of slang
is good thing as long as it is not
vulgar. Much slang has worked its
way into the language. Slang is all
right in spoken language, but not in
written A certain amount of slang
keeps one from being too academic.
G. c. Wilson, Jr, president of the
Student Body: Slang is short cut to
expressiveness.
Gran A. GOOdsOn, president of the
Student Senate: Good thing some
times-often very expressive.
Jack Murray ('Canuck): Slang is
good dope"
c. B. Rollins: Slang is very express
i've, but it can be oyerdone.
Miss Ruby Leach: Cheap slang gets
my goat"
Miss ROwena Campbell, Pj Beta Phi
sorority: A good deal of slang is in
nate and deplorable. Some kinds of
slang are more expressive than ordi-
nary language. This is proven by the
fact that much slang is adopted into

GIVING.

Approaches the time when poor ci-
gars sell readily, loud" neckwear is
no longer a drug on the market, house
slippers sell themselves, books are in
demand and various other useful but
common articles no longer grow dusty
on the store shelves.
Christmas shopping is on in dead
earnest.
Christmas, which should be one of
the most sacred days in the year, has
gradually come to be for many per-
sons time of hasty, irritating and
haphazard shopping for gifts, which,
if they mean anything to the recipi-
ent, are exceptional.
OF course it is hard to think of suit
able Christmas gifts, but would it not
be better merely to send an expensive
Christmas card or greeting than to
give such gifts as the foregoing? This
sort of gift seems to express to the
recipient that the giver did not think
very long, but merely went down
town, bought the first thing handy and
affixed his name to it.

"Get me, Steve" and such phrases are

TO REPLACE THE BREAD LINE.

Charles G. Dawes, who has been the
host at the head of the Chicago bread
ling, has taken steps to make his char
tiles more permanent He will open
in Chicago, January 1, "down-and

had for cents a night and where
meals will be furnished at from l to
cents each.
The new hotel will bear the name

the lobby of the hotel big flag bear

MILKERS HAVING A i"TRY.OUT'
Avoid Sore Hands by Beginning Work
Earlier Than Before.

This is "try-out" week at the Uni

do the milking and feeding there are
required to provide suitable substi-
tutes before they go home for the hol-
idays.
The new mixers usually have
trouble with sore hands, as each has
ten COWS to milk To avoid this trouble
this year, the regular men were asked
to bring their substitutes few days
before vacation, to try them out. This
will enable them to get used to the
work by the time the students leave.

Just at daybreak Yancy was reused

shoulder. and opening his eyes saw
that the Judge was bending over him.
Dress" he said briefly. There's
every prospect OF trouble-get your

fancy noted that this prospect OF
trouble seemed to afford the Judge a
pleasurable sensation: indeed, he had
quite lost his former air OF somber
and suppressed melancholy.

ever since midnight we've been on the
verge OF riot and possible bloodshed.
