A clipping from an Iowa paper, sent this way by Mrs. Peter Leinhauser of Ottumwa, Iowa, quotes the school superintendent of that city as saying, Our budget situation is probably the cert vshps ia the state because of the severity of the loss of students over the last three years.' One would expect a school official to know that mkps means the orJy one of its kind or unequalled, that there cannot be degrees of uniqueness. As has been mentioned here before, there are not many absolutes in English, but vzlqps is one of them. One Hbczz td another. Some words have a host of meanings that we often are unaware of until someone questions one of them. Such a questioning touched off turmoil in the office of Dill Marsano of Wayne, Pa. In the middle of a discussion a colleague of his said, "There is such a thing as being too forgiving, whereupon another colleague sail, Vhat thing? A written pardon may be a thing, but to be forgiving is not. From that point the argument took off. We could say that the use of tli-j in a context like that is idiomatic, which it is. and let it go y i - f i-t H-;" , fill' 'ii y " ' ' 1 ? -" risl ' .

A month r-o a reader sent in a newspaper dipping which contained a sentence saying that a poll showed President Ford ahead on the basis of greater experience and electatHIry. That word, said the reader, is not in the dictionary, but it should be. By coincidence, the very next day we saw a newspaper senterce that said the sending of messages privately frca the White House to reporters to get across to a govern ment official that he has outlived his usefulness is a valuable technique because it allows for desIZiy. And two days later a reporter wrote about voters who expressed favcisSSty toward a candidate.

IT? is a UNL student volunteer group which works with inmates at the Nebraska Center for Women in York, a prison which houses women felons from Montana, Nebraska, Wyoming and North Dakota. FTP began in September 1975, and each Saturday UNL volunteers teach prison inmates crafts or join them in sports activities. Marshall said there are many minority residents at York, and white volunteers cannot always relate to them. To encourage minority participation in IT? activities, they need minority volunteers, she said, especially Indians and Blacks. Lack of minority volunteers in the program resulted from ITP's failure to tell minorities that they were needed, she said. Next semester, PFP will advertise for volunteers in minority publications, she added.
