N. U. Cancels
Diesel Course
Manufacturers Unable
to Provide Equipment
The previously planned iliesel
engine short course will not be of
fered by the University this win
ter, Prof. J. W. Haney, chairman
of the department of mechanical
engineering, announced Saturday.
Two years ago the University in
co-operation with diesel engine
manufacturers offered the course
to an interested group of me
chanics from over the stat,e. It
was proposed at that time to offer
a similar course the following
winters.
The instructional period, which
was designed to give mechanics in
the smaller communities an oppor
tunity of learning how to service
and operate diesel engines, will not
be held this year Professor Haney
pointed out because of the inabil
ity of the manufacturers to assist
at this time in furnishing the nec
essary demonstration equipment
and experts, plus the fact that the
university does not have adequate
equipment. There is also less de
mand today for the course.
Professor Haney warns against
some of the current misleading ad
vertisements regarding courses of
fered In this field.
Bizad Junior Drives Bus,
Learns Slang, Writes Story
Bernard Morris Sells
Article on Bus Jargon
The phrase "A bewhlskered
gearjammer driving a cigaret spe
cial ventilated his motor while
passing a wildcat" might mean
nothing to most of us but to Ber
nard Morris, business administra
tion Junior who drives a bus to fi
nance his education, it means that
an old time bus driver driving an
empty bus saw the piston rod fly
thru the hood of his vehicle while
he was passing a car carrying
passengers at an illegal rate with
out proper licenses or permits.
Morris' experience as a bus driv
er with one of the large transpor
tation companies enabled him to
write an article on the Jargon used
by bus drivers. The article was
published in the December issue of
American Speech, one of the elite
linguistic journals.
According to the article a driver
Is a "gearjammer" until he has
proved his competence when he be
comes a "hacksklnner." Excessive
blowing of the loud air horns is
referred to as "laying the air."
Reference to the need of a "hinge"
means that the approaching corner
is almost too sharp a turn for the
bus.
A bus without passengers Is a
"cigaret special" because it gives
the driver a chance to smoke while
on duty. A "pusher" is a bus with a
motor in the rear. You're a "thru
stiff" when you are traveling a
hundred miles or more.

State Planning
First Time
The value of the state planning
board set up by the legislature in
1937 is apparent with its report,
made to the 1939 legislature. For
the first time in state history the
building and maintenance needs of
all state institutions have been
considered as a whole. For the first
time these needs have been ranked
according to the construction
makes no pleas for the instant
adoption of its program. It la for
the legislature, as representatives
of the people, to say when the pro
gram shall be launched, when car
ried thru to completion.
One wholesome result of the re
port should be immediately appar
ent when the legislature is in ses
sion. With the planning report be
fore It and before all the people
urgency. For the first time the
funds that the state ordinarily
spends in more or less haphazard
fashion have been bugeted into a
carefully worked out, ten year
plan.
The board wisely and rightly
of the state-there will be no ex
cuse for the customary log rolling
on appropriations, with represent
atives of rival sections exchanging
pleasant back scratches in the way
of building appropriations, with lit
tle regard to the taxpayer.
In addition to its report on build
ing needs, the board made some
suggestive recommendations. Par
ticularly sound is the proposal that
building appropriations state spe
cifically the Items that must be
covered to avoid expensive general
construction with no provision for
maintenance and equipment.
