Bavlor university women's organization, decided at their reg ular meeting in the memorial dor mitory club room that Alpha Om ega members would wear cotton dresses this spring. It was further recommended that the university women aid in this project which will help out the drouth stricken areas and the suffering from gen eral economic depression. Texas Heads. Texas produces more cotton than any other state In the union, according to the Alpha Omega club, and Texas people should buy their own products, especially when a great deal of actual want exists due in part to unsold crops. This vear there will be between eight and nine million bales of un sold cotton carried over in the United States, according to gov ernment reports. Last year only five million bales were left with out buyers. Last year forty million acres of land in the United States were planted In cotton, producing a total crop of between fourteen and fif teen million bales. Prof. George N . Harris, director of the Baylor school of business, declares that cotton prices will be the lowest next vear that they have been in the last twenty-five years, unless the acreage for the coming cot ton season is cut considerably. The school of business director says that thirty million acres should be the maximum amount of land de voted to cotton growing If higher prices are to be expected. Plan Social. The Alpha Omegas not only called attention to a patriotic mo tive, but also declared that cotton materials ii reasonablv priced. axe attractive, and are of good style. Movements of this sort have been apoken of by politicians this year, but the plax has not been generally carried ouL Plans for a spring term social were also made by the club. JL. I. TWENTYMAN ADDRESSES THREE GROUPS THURSDAY (Continued From Page 1) everybody, the betterment of the economic aituation and the fact that the rich man of England pays for the government In proportion to his income. Professor Twenty man stated that some of the weal thiest men of England pay approx imately 60 percent of their income for tha support of their govern ment. Aristocrats Still Rule. An interesting fact according to Professor Twentyman is the fact that England is still an aristo cratic country. Tha aristocrats till rule England. although not as mnch as before the war. The old nobility of England owned large tract of lands, and as a rule were on excellent terms with their ten ants. This has changed, however, since the war, in that many of the old Hue of nobility has been forced U Mil their property to the newly rich, and these new people do not know how to treat their tenants. A. mark of distinction in England as to own land in the country. Professor Twentyman believes that England has made important advances for social conditions in the past, and also predicts a bright future tor his country.

Only eight of the debates were decisive affairs and of these, four were lost and four won. Two post-season contests remain with a girls' team from Union uni versity, Tennessee, here Saturday and with a girls team from Mis souri university here April 9. Five questions were debated during the season. They related to the farm board, prohibition, free trade, professionalism in college athletics and chain stores. Votes were taken to determine the opin ion of the audiences on the ques tions being debated. Of all those voting on the farm board, one-third were "neutral." The audiences were radically against chain stores and professionalism in college ath letirn. Kansas and Wisconsin au diences voted "wet" while the two Iowa audiences hearing the debate voted for prohibition.

"Each college is a small world of Its own, not independent In any way from the rest of the world, but with problems, social and fi nancial troubles, and a language differing In many aspects from those encountered in olher cir cles," according to an article ap pearing recently In the Dally Kan san, student newspaper of the Uni versity of Kansas. The results of the survey of college slang are told by the writer aa follows: Each college Is a group of peo ple exceedingly cosmopolitan in structure with intimate contacts in the classroom and on the campus. The language especially is col loquial, and many words common on the campus are never uttered by the socially prominent, or en tered into the pagea of the book which Webster made bis life's work. Each college has expres sions entirely foreign to another higher educational institution's in mates. The University of Kansas ia no exception to the rule, and Its matriculates readily murder the Klng'a English upon every provo cation. Some of the "catchy phrases" of the successful college man of Mount Oread probably never have entered the campuses of other universities. In collegiate parlance, for In stance, when a couple of fraternity men start for a sorority house they are "going out to get into a lot of trouble." Or perhaps a group will decide to get dates and "make history." Dates with no torious gold-diggers carry the stigma of "playing Santa Claus," and with it the advice to "wear those red knickers." To have a "hey-hey time" is to "shake-'em-up-jack." The girl of the Kansas man's heart's desire is just his "bag," "sack," "pig." or "fat lady." If she is beautiful or well-liked, she is endearingly termed "a honey," "the queen," "slick." "smooth," or "fair." On the other hand the fraternity brothers may pass the remarks that Joe's girl has "lost some of her marbles," ia "hay wire." "foul." "no bargain." or "no power." Becoming engaged is merely being taken "out of circula tion," or a permit to "neck." Shaking hands Is "having It in there," and parties are "brawls" to the K. U. student Dances are "rat races," "struggles" or "shin digs." Any individual receiving many telephone calls Is charged with "such popularity must be due to unpaid bills. "I'm all atwit." is a feminine collegiate phrase for ner vousness, is "getting the eagers." "Campused." the sorority women's nemesis, simply means losing the privilege of having dates on cer tain week ends, or for a definite length of time. The old fashioned "beer bust" of nre-Volstead days, has assumed numerous cognomens. Lately, how ever, these words have been men tioned but few times, and then only in a whisper. Recent unfortu nate liquor publicity, along with a signed pledge making all Univer sity of Kansas students '.absolute teetotalers has done much lowara making these words obsoltete. In the good old days, however, when the college man wished to partake of intoxicating liquors, he went out to "have a few spot,- or taite on a few." A "bender" was a rather prolonged party. If one became Inebriated in the course of the evening ne was stiff." "crocked," "loose," "pol luted." "lousy," or "full." The In toxicant used was "donk," or "stomach bitters," and if one Im bibed too freely and became ill. "he cracked his lunch," "burned." or "did a Daniel Boone." which is the equivalent of "shooting one's lunch." College students nonchalantly speak of Theta, Dekea. Pi Phis, and Gamma Phi Betas, all pus sling phrases to an outsider.

The question, "Will prohibition prohibit?" was raised In connec tion with the anti-saloon ectivitles. Agitators realised that those who had an insatiable desire for liquor would secure it in spite of any city ordinance. It waa pointed out that If the saloon were abolished in Lincoln, even worse establishments would flourish In Havelock or Went Lincoln. But. the Ncbraakan argued, "Does it seem probable that any man pretenaing 10 oe re sponsible, much less a university atudant would seek out or natron- ixe a low joint in the suburb?" Word from Ames reporcea mm a class tussle had assumed the pro portions of gang warfare when a gun was drawn by a student with almost fatal effet. The combat was nrerlnitnteri bv the refusal of the freshmen to call off a banquet at the command of the sophomores. 1911. Raster hats and lleht suits were much In evidence on the campus on the first day of return from spring vacation. In the library particular ly was noted a dearth of coats and jackets, and a tendency towara "bench work." I win someone please explain?) Anronoa of the annearance of spring apparel, Speler and Simon advertised the Best Blue erge Suit over made at the fabulous price of $15.00. They were guaran teed absolutely all wool, warranted to hold their shape and color, and to wear like Iron, or the merchants would buy them back. 1921. Th. tnnMrnc of a man in knickers lent an unprecedented note to the campus style sheet The Adonis who broke the ice of convention was reoorted as pos sessed of a form that rivaled the popular conception of a Follies girl.

At the west end of the room is a well proportioned and equipped stage. The Oak room which is finished in oak paneling similar to that used In Gitat Hall and has the same kind of a floor, is separ ated from Great hall by folding doors which can be pushed back to enlarge the capacity of the hall.
