Circuinlocutious
Speech, Not Writing
Some of us smaller fry are be
wildered a bit by the prevailing
opposing schools o fthought on the
tender topic or spaae caiung. in
our occasional close contacts with
the Players productions we learned
that the gentle townsfolk vigor
ouslv ooDose such renerally ac
cepted vices as women's smoking
on the stage, or drinking. Off
color jokes, however screamingly
funny, or essential to tne comeciy,
are heavily scored, and as for
cussing damns are prohibitively
wicked except in the case of ultra
crude characters.
But in the world of creative
thinking, especially composition,
euphemism is a thing decried. The
best circles name names, and let
the chips fall where they may. In
the first place it's hard to get an
accurate and effective substitute
for many of the more telling terms
of disapprobrlum. Calling some
one a "mishap" is not nearly so
colorful as saying what you mean
"Sonuvagun" sounds like a bed
time hour. And psychologists tell
us that the grim results of limita
tion of free expression are legend,
you know.
So it looks like at if at how
there will have to be some
ttandardizatlon made. Either the
speech department should be
permitted to tend ringing "god
dam't" and "helluvaV into the
vaulted atmosphere of the Tem
ple theater, or the English de
partment should be muzzled
down to "criminlet" and "daw
gawnt". This rank discrimin
ation cannot be longer tolerated.
And we're not on the side of
the circumlocutionists, nor yet
the macronomatamaniacs. Jest
plain simple English it what we
crave.

"Is this a showing of spring fash

eled as the colorful regalia. It's
a woman's way to wear her heart

'Survivals That Last" is the
topic of the lecture Dr. Sachar will
deliver. In this address the most
romantic and Important adventures
of the Jewish people are centered
about their un.que physical survi
vals. Voices speak from prayer
books and diaries, tombstones and
coins, and their message suggests
that the most romantic of the
survivals is the Jewish people it
self. Popular at Illinois.
Typical of the Immense appeal
of Dr. Sachar as a lecturer is the
fact that his classes at the Uni
versity of Illinois where he in
structs In the field of modern
European and English history
have always been among the most
popular on the campus, crowded
alike by students and visitors.
During the past two years, pons
have been taken at the end of the
lecture season at Sinai Forum,
Chicago, where 2,300 course pa
trons were given an opportunity to
express their preference. Dr.
Sachar polled first in each year

peared on the program which in
cluded nationally known celebri
ties. In communities like Chicago,
Cleveland, Detroit, Boston, Phila

LINCOLN,
P.A.D. DEBATERS
FOR 1937 CROWN
Curtiss, Shuck, Wilke,
Bstandig to Make Trip to
Iowa Legislature.
By a unanimous vote of three
judges, Phi Alpha Delta clinched
the fraternity intramural debate
championship when they defeated
Sigma Alpha Mu in Andrews hall
last evening. In reward for their
victory, the P. A. D.'s will take
possession of the Delta Sigma Rho
silver gavel which has been covet
ed for the past year by the Sammy
group.
Outstanding in the entire debate,
according to all three judges, was
the P. A. D. orator, Frank Landis.
Attempting to retain the crown
for the Sammies were Leo Turkel
and Leo Eisenstatt, debating the
affirmative side of the labor dis
pute question. Otto Wellensick and
Landis, on the negative, took pos
session of the . victory for their
legal fraternity. Judges for the af
fair were Gerald Vitanvas, Lenord
Kreuger, and Paul Bender, all uni
versity students of debate.
Probably the most important
mistake of the affirmative, which
the negative clearly pointed out
according to one Judge, was that
the Sammy group did not present
any definite plan whereby there
could be compulsory arbitration of
labor disputes. All three judges
agreed that the laurels should go
to the P. A. D. group. If possible,
and favorable with the winners of
last evening's competition, a de
bate will be scheduled with the
Lincoln Boosters, non-fraternity
section winners by no debates.

"It is my work," Mr. Wright
said, "to interview and find stu

teams of four or six to cany on
this educational work. I sincerely
urge all students interested in such
work to see me before I leave Lin

be arranged by calling C. B. Hayes

Wright is leaving Lincoln Sunday
afternoon to carry on similar work
at other Nebraska and Kansas
schools.
Figures Return
Leading Roles
Two faces (and at least one
figure) which appear in the pic
tures beside this article, are fa
miliar to Kosmet Klub audiences.
The handsome young cowhand on
the left is none other than D6n
Boehm, the baritone from Grand
Island, who SRved the day and
the colonel's mint Juleps in "South
ern Exposure," Kosmet Klub's
spring show produced last year.
In "Bar-Nothing Ranch" which
plays at the Temple theatre foi
six nights opening Monday, April
12, Boehm has the role of Spud
Warren, the . heroine's hero. At
the outset of the play he loves
only his cattle, but as history will
prove, no man can win a one
sided battle against a woman, and
the cows lose out.
The comely lass on the right is
known around "Bar-O Ranch" in
Arizona as Lynn McAlister, but
on the Nebraska campus it is Bill
Strong of Great Bend, Kas. The
Strong woman was also one of
the juvenile leads in last year's
musical comedy.
Altho Strong spends only a few
months each year in the role of a
scheming female, there is little
doubt that there are few feminine
wiles and tricks that are not prac
ticed in that time. Ask Boehm.

Need for Perfection

j Effective speech plays an im

chapter of American Society of
Chemical Engineers at their meet
ing last evening. Following the
address, "the Chemical Engineer
and Speech," by Prof. Yenne, the
assignment of definite projects and
duties for Engineer's Week were
made.
The speaker stressed the Impor
tance of speech in everyday life
of contacts and associations. Main
taining that the importance of ef
fective speech in engineering might
not be apparent at first, Prof.
Yenne declared thfit the engineer
should not lose sight of its im
portance. "If an engineer makes aome dis
covery, or works out a new theory
or idea, he must be able to present
it clearly and concisely to a board
of flirectors or some other group in
order to realize profit from it,"
Prof. Yenne stated.
The following projects and duties
for Engineering Week were made:

in his clear enunciation. I"
What Can the Student Do?
As Page arranged a wealth of
material about his desk and bed
he pointed out that the college stu
dent, according to a pacifist's point
of view, :ould either pledge to drop
arms in defence of his country, or
could merely assert to work for
peace. The college student Is sup
posed to be thinking about thia
question and consequently is sup
posed to have more influence, the
lecturer pointed out.
,, L press couia

i against war. Well, the presa can
be a powerful instrument in either
direction. We must always re
member, however, that the press
follows public opinion as many
times as it creates public opinion."
Pointing to economic condition
of this country along the Bide of
England and France as the most
probable reason for another war.
Page suggested a basic solution of
economic changes, a world organi
sation of neutrality, and a nation
al policy of neutrality. s
"We must always reme-mber Umt
