STUDENTS MUST WORK
The student committee on the mill
age bill made final plans last night
to throw the University of Oregon
student body into the campaign for
higher education as a vital, active
force from now till the voters’ de
cision on May 21. The moral sup
port of the entire student body is i
back of the committee in its work.
There is no opposing sentiment to
break down.
It is rather in the inertia of the
individual student that the great task
of the committee lies. It is too easy
to feel secure in the industry of the
other fellow and take no active in
terest ourselves. If we can not
arouse every student to a realization
that the ease demands something
more than passive approval on his
part between now and the beginning
of spring vacation the caues of high
er education will be seriously injured.
We cannot expect the support of tax
payers, many of whom have no direct
interest in the three institutions, un
less we ourselves awaks to the dang
ers of the hour.
It was pointed out that the first
step for each student is to inform
himself on facts regarding not only
the University of Oregon but the
Oregon Agricultural College and
Monmouth Normal School ns well.
A large part of the work of the
committee in the next ten days will
be to make this information easy for
the Students to find. All the work of
the committee will avail little unless
each student takes it upon himself
to do his share.
Among other things each student
who is eligible to vote should make
sure he can do so on May 21. In a
few days the Emerald will give the
matter of registration special atten
tion. In the meantime, talk over the j
millage bill with your friends. There j
is nothing like argument to show
ones self how scanty his information
is- ,
Remember that last night our hat
went into the ring and it’s up to us!
to show the people of the state what *
Oregon spirit stands for and can ac-j
complish.
If the millage tux bill fails and
Oregon’s building funds have to be
raised and building erected via the
Woman’s building route, one build
in)*' will fall to pieces as fats as an-1
other one is put up.
If any of the freshmen ever catch
the painters they will not take 1
a great deal of time in persuading'
them to give up their bolshevik
painting careers.
Interest seems to be lacking in
the company track meets. If there
is no military rivalry between the
companies it is rather difficult to
create athletic rivalry
As Junior week-end approaches the
old formal dance question arises. 1;
will probably all depend upon wheth
er the loudest objectors have obtain
ed their dress suits yet.
Slang Shoots Jazz Into Language
jt jt Jt j* jH jt jt Jtjt
Peril Not Feared by English Profs :
Slang is all right if you know
how to use it, when to use it,
and when not to use it. This is
the opinion of members of the
University faculty connected
with the English and journalism
departments, who refuse to
worry over the present tendency
to use “jazz language.”
There is no more tendency
among college students to use
slang than among persons out
side of college, according to
Eric W. Allen, dean of the
school of journalism. The dean
finds the “freshness of new slang
interesting,” but revolts agajnst
overdoing it by the use of hack
neyed phrases as “I’ll say so.”
Slang, he says, should not be
used to such an extent that one
forgets the correct methods of
expression.
Prof. W. F. G. Thacher be
lieves slang a necesary element
in the language. New ideas
which cannot be expressed ex
cept by new phrases give rise
to slang expressions which often
“go the rounds of popular talk
and newspaper usage, finally re
ceicing a 'bachelor degree’ by
ceiving a ‘bachelor degree’ by
ers.”
Miss Julia Burgess, professor
of rhetoric, views slang expres
sions as “objetf ionable only when
they interfere with the acquiring
of a wide, appropriate and flex
ible vocabulary.” She finds that
it is used sparingly by the stu
dents in the composition work,
but at tim<is affords ‘‘an agree
able variatioxi from stereotyped
style.”
Miss Mary H. Perkins, pro
fessor of rhetoric, finds that the
students, as a general rule, have
a “detachable slang vocabul
ary,” which they leave behind
when entering the class room.
She seldom finds slang used in
papers which she receives from
her students. “I do not in the
least object to slang if it is
clever”, she said, but draw the
line at old and stale expressions
that have ‘been run in the
ground.’ ”
