Be it supposed that-the sunday Editor gives the boys hey most desire, it stands .im e that the docile acceptance such drool and drivel as was ed concerning slang, reflects al moribund mentality. artists, witty,' worthy of in, and reflecting resplendant on the undergraduate body. s there is among you some one who knows an inveterate slang user of forceful and original mind. We do not. Wit vs. Slang Slang, inherently is unoriginal; it becomes nothing more than parrot- like repetition to what Mencken calls the "'boobery"-slang's chief satel- lites. The intellectually alive so manipulate legitimate language as to obtain all the "crisp expressiveness" of street talk and at the same time show some mental facility. To the knowing it is a commonplace that thought is limited by vbcabulary and certainly slang stunts ocabulary. Any lazy mind can obtain a super- ficial- trenchancy of expression be- hind the skirts of slang, but for such dolt] to produce a bold phrasing or an original thought is, in ,all likeli- hood, impossible. Wit is claimed for slang. Wit im- plies some sort of cultural back- ground. Slang explicitly is vulgar, of the common clay. Fine shadings and lightning thrusts are the tools of wit; not coarse buffoonery.) Of course that general question "is Michigan Asleep?' requires an af-, firmative answer. It should not be in- terrogatory. The mere fact here cited, that slang is not only tolerated but often and really admired, at least hints at the shallowness and lethargy of the student mind. Are You Lazy T True it is only a minor manifesta- tion, but it is these minor things that throw some of the most interesting sidelights on a situation. The real question should be "How sleepy are the Michiganders?" It is a matter of degrees; for all the hu- man tribe run-by choice-at the low- est comfortable pace, both mentally and physically., The article men- tioned bespeaks a rather woeful pace.

THE FAULTLESS AGE Whenever things go wrong today there never is much hell to pay, the blame we seldom draw; the war gave everything the fits, or else we surely claim that it's the prohibition law. The guns disturbed the atmosphere so now at this sweet time of year the weather's out of form; one day it's hot, the next there's snow, then through the streets in boats we row, iznn n.o n -A" WO trn m Th n oo' snort, it must have been the war; while others say without a drink they cannot see the kitchen sink, or watch the ceiling spar. The Orient has hit the rout, Joe Parker's place has just sold out, the Tap Room helps a lot; alas it cannot hold us all, and so a bunch of us must fall for dancing, reading and what not. So let us on our knees and pray that some day somebody will say,J "It's my mistake, I'll take the blame;" and for that person we'll reserve ex- actly what he will deserve,-a statue in the Hall of Fame.

Mr. Smgh is particularly pleased with the American system of educa- tion and the friendly relations be- tween faculty and students which is so different from the Indian situation.
