Changing styles even touch
words-avers Dr. Pound
American linguistic style today
Is marked by the pushing into the
foreground of words once barred
in polite conversation, Dr. Louise
Pound of the department of Eng
lish told a meeting of the Univer
sity of Iowa School of Letters
teachers Saturday. The Nebraska
educator declared that something
of the delight of the Elizabethans
in playing with language has reap
peared. More force.
"Our expression has grown more
forceful and staccato. There is
more approximation to the

Five others mentioned.
Five Huskers, Ed Schwartzkopf
Royal Kahler, George Seemann,
Harry Hopp and Herman Rohrig
won honorable mention. Big Six
players getting mention also were
Amerine, Bukaty, and Rhule, Kan

Weiner, Beezley, Kansas State;
Osborne, Boswell and West, Iowa
State.
rhythms of talk, faster rhythms
that fit the pace of modern life,"
stated Dr. Pound. "Experimenters
in prose have appeared, such as
Gertrude Stein, or James Joyce in
England, both seeking the fresh
and unusual. The influence of
newspaper headlines, directed at
the hurried reader, has helped to
popularize short forceful words,
expressive monosyllables. There is
devotion to slang and colloquial
isms and to doing strange things
with words."
New words.
The popularity of coinages, cur
tailments, the creation of amalgam
words, especially in the language
of advertising are other phenomena
to be noted Miss Pound pointed
out. "These become obvious in a
survey of vogues among journal
ists, humorists and the coiners of
trade terms. Radio neologisms and
more wisecracks run riot. But the
pendulum swings ultimately, how
ever and reaction may be already
on the way."
Edison attends district

Prof. Oskar Edison of the de

Omaha of the district six execu

North and South Dakota, Wyom
