For Tis Issue
THETA SIGMA PHI TO YOU.
;,niMa chapter of Theta Si?ma Phi. established at Nebraska in
1H14. has cradually de t -loped into a flourishing professional organiza
tion. Its purpose is to act as a working medium for women in joui
nalism and to create a ital interest in newspaper work. Since its
.ntranci- at Nebraska, all of the members have taken part in some
actie journalistic work, as well as in the courses offered by that
'n partment.
Lambda of Theta Sigma Phi presents this issue of the Daily Ne
braskan to the student body as their own work in the interest of Ne
braska women's journalism. It is hoped that, through the efforts of
the studenis. faculty and school executives, journalism hero may soon
become as influential and attractive as its worth and usefulness merit.
The profession of journalism is one of the mom vital and live tpes
.! industi today and Nebraska University is not behind in hti en
couragement of it.
Women have long held .-way in certain circles of the publicity
work, especially in the society, clubs, literary and feature write-ups.
Today, due to available t clinical training and the rapid rise of women
in the industrial world, they now can enter almost any department oi
The modern newspaper. Editors are beginning to realize, that just as
there may be good women plumbers and contractors, so there may be
experts in advertising, printing, sports and political stories who do not
answer to Mister." Much credit should be given to the few b.ave
pioneers who felt the news calling and were able to so succe.-sfuily
pave the ray for all Theta Sigma Phis of today and the future.
THE TORCH.
An interesting report came to us recently from aKnsas here
the members of the senior girls' honorary society are unknown to the
students until the last day of the senior year. They are chosen,
pledged to secrecy, act as leaders and aids for various movemer ts oa
the campus, and are entirely unknown except to the faculty adviser
This organixation, "The Torch," is one of the most influential and
.effective ones of the school. When, late in the second semestcs. the
names of those girls who have worked so untireingly and generously
for Kansas University are announced, they are rewarded with much
wtli deserved credit and appreciation.
Does not this souno like a truly democratic honor?
A WOMAN'S VOCABULARY.
(By a Co-ed)
A college student s and especially a college woman's vocabt'lary
ar it is in women that euch laxness in speech is most reprehensible)
has long been a source of wonder. If a girl comes to college possess
ing a mastery of clean-cut English, she seldom carries it away with
htr. Amid the exaggerated speech of her friends, her own conversa
tion falls flat to her ears. She begins to pick up their slang expul
sions ii.d il:r extravagant phrases. Soon she must express herself
'n her newly .-Ljtired hyperboles in order to convince herself Ibat
she is showing proper warmth.
It there any of us who does not know the co-ed who describes a
parjy or a dance as a "slick time, believe me"; to whom every man
becomes "the most wonderful man she ever met." and every bit of
gossip "the best or worst thing she ever heard"; "who thought she'd
d,e" or "scream for weeks" on almost every occasion? Perhaps all ol
us have wondered just what bz2od 11 ik)..3 v offSl ;;;;;;; .srlp
us have wondered Just what she would do were fhe to have some
really great though or emotion to express.
To be sure, in the rueh of the present day there is little time for
stressing the old rules of good form. Mediaeval prudery in speech
has long since been abolished, and this is well, but there is no deny
ing" that the modern woman Is becoming coarsely lax. And nowhere
is this fact so incontrovertibly revealed to us as in college.
One falls into it gradually, and it becomes a habit a habit of
which every girl is sure she will rid herself the moment she leaves
ber college balls. But she should bear to mind the fact that in col
lege she is forming the customs which are liable to stay with her ber
whole life through.
She has failed to realize that daily she is judged by ber conversa
tion. Her way of expressing herself is perhaps entirely unconscious.
The "Better English" week, no doubt, did a great deal toward correct
tog this unfortunate condition If It only brought one's attention to
bear on the facts as they are. DePauw Daily.
