By Theodore f.l. Bcrcstoa
llczt cssszd. 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

at that. Cut dictioraries conisli so mny definitions of
the word that it becomes clear that the disputed use is
quite valid. Definitions rare from an inarimate object
to a matter of circumstance, an idea, an opinion or t
".quality.
Dlzys cf -.Jy. 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. Arc we on the
verge of a new era of suffocation such as those that gsve
us -wise words (weatherwise, doHarwise) and -ese words
(Pcntagonese, pedsguese)?

The People and Prisons Program (FTP) needs
minority student volunteers, said Candy Marshall,
program director and a junior criminal justice major
from Elm Creek.
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.
