Baylor Coeds Seek To Aid
In Relieving Period
Of Depression.
BAYLOR. Tex. Alpha Omega
club. 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.

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. He ex
pressed confidence that the Eng
lish will "muddle" through some
how. Attended Oxford.

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

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

diences voted "wet" while the two
Iowa audiences hearing the debate
voted for prohibition.

Daily Kansan Carries Story
Depicting Nature of
Campus People.
"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. Sig
ma Alpha Epsuon migm De me
name of Bmiui Brothers new
triple action cough syrup as far as
the average citizen is concernea,
for the Greek alphabet is not gen
erally included in the common
man s vocabulary. Just as in me
outside world a man may be a
Modern Woodman, Shriner, Elk, a
republican, or what have you, so
In college there is the classification
of Beta, Slg, Alpha or rni uam.

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
MILESTONES
March 26, 1901.
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.
The salt and pepper suit oi a
hrnnn mixture with Dockets se
curely flapped and fastened with
glistening buttons, waa set orr oy
a tie of deepest blue, mom nis
snannv hrown and White BDOrt ox
fords to the slick surface of his
well oiled hair, the young sport
model cut a notewormy ngure.
Nine sets, to be used for sixteen
scenes, were being constructed for
the nroduction of "Romeo and Ju
liet" The balcony scene was to be
used several times, serving not in
Its original capacity, but minus its
iron railing and the platform it be
came a mantel. Later lattices
weie placed over the balcony win
dows and the lower prt of the bal
conv that the effect might be that
of an apothecary shop.

to the project and two hundred

on those pledges.
Is Prominent On Campus.
Memorial Union fits Into the
south side of the central group
of stone buildings on the campus,
and like the other buildings of
the group, Is of Bedford or In
diana limestone. The pitched
roof la of vari-colored (blue and
green) slate.
The main entrance of the build
ing ia through a pair of bronze
doors into the vestibule and Gold
Star hall, at the north side of
the building. The room is 45
feet long and 20 feet wide; the
walla inside and out and the ceil
ing are of solid masonry, the
room being lighted from both
sides by cathedral style windows.
The clear giasa in these windows
will, eventually, be replaced by
art glass.
Beneath the windows are stone
panels into which are carved the
names of Iowa State's cons and
daughters who gave their lives in
the service of our country In the
World war.
Gold Star hall opens into the
main floor corridor. On the north

the ground and the main floors.
Great Hall Has Ballroom.
Great hall is a beautiful room
two stories high with oak pan
eled walls and balcony. The floor
is the finest dance floor that it
was possible to obtain. 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. The combined rooms ac
commodate comfortably four
hundred couples for dancing.
Along the south side of Great
hall ia a narrow loggia, with
tiled floor.

The south half of the common
lounge is two steps higher than
the north half of the room. The
