Call For Follies Plans
Today is the deadline for Coed
Follies scripts, participation lists
and nominations for Typical Ne
braska Coed.
All material must be turned in
to Jean Loudon, chairman of the
1952 Coed Follies, at 716 No. 16th
street.
Miss Loudon asks that each
group include a description of the
setting planned and a list of mu
sic to be used in addition to script
dialogue.
The scripts will be censored
by the Associated Women Stu
dents' board which will consider
eight minute skits and five min-l
ute curtain acts for the Feb. 26
production.
In case two houses have simi
lar themes, the last house to
turn in an idea ii.ay have to
reorganize its material under a
new theme or choose a new
skit. This year's early applica
tion date will allow such houses
time to organize a new skit be
fore tryouts to be held Feb. 6
and 7.
A maximum of five skits and
five curtain acts will be selected
at that time by a team of nine
AWS board members and two
faculty members. Skits will be
judged on originality, cleverness,
appeal, appropriateness and
length.
A similar team will judge TNC
candidates on the basis of schol
arship, personality, personal ap
pearance and interest in school
activities.
Two TNC candidates may be
nominated from each organized
house. They must have a 5.5
average and be carrying 12
hours in good standing. Sopho

Christmas seal. The TB seal drive
will begin Monday and continue
through Dec. 20.
TB seal drive on campus is un
der the sponsorship of AUF. In a
letter from the Lancaster County
Tuberculosis association, Mrs.
Dorothy Ogden, executive secre
tary, thanked AUF and Univer
sity students for giving $500 to
the association from funds col
lected during the All University
Fund drive. The money, wrote
Mrs. Ogden, will "cover the cost
of . . . tuberculosis control program
on the campus."
The annual Christmas seal cam
paign helps finance free TB x
rays. If every adult could be x
rayed every year, tuberculosis
would soon cease to be our num
ber one infectious disease killer,
according to Mrs. Ogden. The
drive helps county, state and na
tional TB associations reach this
goal.
The student who buys Christ

officials.

Mjllsh Should Be 'Written
Says Dr. Alexis, leather Of
By CONNIE GORDON
Feature Editor
"English can never become an
international language until it is
written the way it is spoken
.i
That was the comment of Dr.
Joseph E. A. Alexis, University
professor of modern languages,
concerning unnecessary complexi
ties in the written English lan
guage. Alexis has taught 15 lan
guages. Alexis said that the anti
quated form of written English
that is in use today causes
many spelling failures of stu
dents throughout their lives. He
cited as an example the word
"eight." He commented that
"there is no rhyme or reason
why the word should be spelled
in such way."
Alexis commented that most
students who are graduated from
high schools all over the country,!
are unaoie to speu correctly be
cause of the out-dated hindrances
of written English. He add that in
University English courses, these
same students must forego im
portant grammatical comments so
space can be used to correct mis
spelled words.
"Written English," said Alexis,
"is a remnant of the Middle Ages
that still pursues. We write a
language today that was spoken
600 years ago. In other words,
we speak a language that is not
written." Alexis added, "If we
spoke the same, language we
wrote, we could not be under
stood." Alexis said that only three
of the numbers from one to
10 inclusive are spoken the way
they are written. These num-

march.
During the dance about 1,500
persons danced to the music of
Lionel Hampton and his orches
tra while a thousand spectators
watched from the balcony.
The University ROTC band pre
sented a concert prior to the dance
and played the march and opening
waltz.
Also preceding the dance was a
precision drill by the Pershing
Rifles crack squad. Navy glee club,
under the direction of Helmut J.
Sienknecht, presented music dur
ing intermission.
The Coliseum was decorated
in ah army theme. Since the
unification of the armed forces,
the theme of the Military Ball
is rotated among the three de
partments. Next year the theme
will represent the air force.

All currently registered stu
dents in the College of Business
Administration who expect to
be in school next semester
should see their advisers dur
ing the week of Dec. 17 to 22 to
make out work sheets. Ap
pointments with advisors
should be made prior to this
time by signing up on the

Alexis added that this was only
one example of the unnecessary,
antiquated form of written Eng
lish that stiU prevails.
Alexis said that English could
easily become an international
language if it were written the
way in which It is spoken. , He
added that the language, even the
way it is now, is fairly simple
to learn because of the simplicity
of adjectives and nouns. If Eng
lish were an international lan
guage, it would be pronounced as
an international phonetic al

'hese academies, he commented,
re made up of leading literary

Alexis believes that such an

"English is going to be spoken
for hundreds of thousands more

Alexis' interest in language ex

ecent of his books is entitled "I

book is based on Alexis' numer

The book tells about the vari

the reader an excellent idea of
