Prtuguese military / V 1iI Ye olde dictionary Behold there is life in those words. Yes the art of lexicog-' raphy is alive and well on the fifth floor of Angell Hall. It is there, since 1930 that the University of Michigan has been in charge of accumulating the skill, resources and research tech- niques necessary for compiling, editing and publishing the most extensive Middle English Dictionary in the world. The purpose of this unique undertaking is to succintly pre- ent the Middle English vocabulary, fully documented, from the viewpoint of the period between the 12th and 16th centuries. Now, 45 years since its 1930 beginning 13 letters of the alpha-' bet have been completed. The project team of nine members working under the auspices of Prof. Sherman Kuhn, are now more than half finished. Kuhn says "the task of writing a diction- ary is a hard and sometimes tedious endeavor." The entries vary considerably in length from a few lines for a rare word, to 25 pages for the word maken, which means to make. Many of the words in Middle English are not defined as you would expect in contemporary English. For example the word algebra hardly concerns mathematics, but is defined as "a surgical treatment for fractures and dislocation." The mod- ern meaning of algebra didn't occur until 1551. When finished some years from now, The Middle English Dictionary will contain in excess of 10,000 double column pages. It will be so thorough and accurate that it will never have to be done again. Henceforth it will be the primary source of Mid- dle English in the World, says Kuhn. -LARRY GARON It's no Rembrandt but ... You may have been exposed to culture without knowing it. Thanks to the University Museum of Art's Allocation Pro- gram, more than 200 pieces are presently cropping up all over campus in departmental offices for public display. The program, going strong now for several years, lends prints for one year spans to such University offices on main campus where they are likely to be seen by many people and where someone is always on hand to see to their safety. Dorm- itory displays, for obvious security reasons, are out. Although the pieces are insured by the University, all fall under the "low value range" - under $200, according to museum registrar Jackie Slee, So far, the prints have escaped the yen of art thieves and the spray guns of graffiists - The Museum receives no compen- sation for its program. The art, mostly 20th century, black and white prints are by the scarcer knowns in the art world. "If they expect to see Rembrandt, they'll be disappointed," admits Slee. There is a long waiting list for the allocations and the mu- seum staff is not without its hassles. "People call and are im- mediately under the assumption that we owe them art," ex- plains Slee. "They can't understand why we don't loan them anything." President Fleming's residence is the only private home benefiting from the service. His current repertoire, aside from two prints, include three oils, two gouaches (poster paints) and one watercolor. After all, he is the president of the University, and Slee notes an added factor in his favor, "He's right next door to the museum." Now how's that for security? -JAY LEVIN PHNOM PENH Cambodia () - "The Americans will never let Cambodia fall," says a pret- ty young woman in Western dress. "The Khmer Rouge cannot win, says an army captain, sipping coffee in a restaurant. Few of Phnom Penh's two million residents and refugees seem to be thinking about the end, though their world has been compressed into a 215- square-mile enclave, beleagu- ered on every side and shrink- ing.

The officers voted full support to any changes Goncalves wants to make, and the premier said in a broadcast that the "political analysis of the Communist party has al- ways been correct." Brig. Gen.
