STUDENTS IMITATE
OLD SLANG, BELIF
Dean of Smith College Discusses
Present Day Words.
There was a phase when college
students used to set the pace in
creating new slang words and
phrases, but now they seem content
to imitate, according to Dean Mar-
jorie Nicolson of Smith college in a
recent issue of the National Stud-
ents Federation of America bulle-
tin.
Dean Nicolson told Smith under-
graduates at chapel last week that
they were a generation behind the
times in the matter of slang, which,
she said, was accepted as a natural
part of language v ne by scholars,
because it was pungent and brief.
The saie old words prevail
throughout the country, she declar-.
ed. Until students. can devise some-
thing better -than "okay" and "KO",
they might just as well use "yes",
the dean advised.

The complete lack of specializa-1
tion in the American college sys-
tem marks its greatest difference
from the English system, in the
belief of Miss L. Susan Stebbing,
visiting lecturer from the Univer-
sity 'of London, according to an
article in th6 National Students
Federation bulletin.
Another difference that struck
Miss Stebbing is the way in which
undergraduates "receive their edu-
cation in bits." In England, stu-
dents take one, or at the most, two,
comprehensive examinations in or-
SWIMMING CLUB

in New Organization.
Tryouts for the swimming club
will be held at 10 o'clock this morn-
ing in the Union pool. The regular
fee of twenty-five cents will be

This is the first year that a
swimming club has been organized
here, and all those who are inter-
ested in making the club a success
are cordially invited to attend the
tryouts.
The organization is headed by
Corrine Fries, '33, who is also
swimming manager of the Wo-
men's Athletic Association.
It is expected that those who
participate in the club activities'
will receive W. A. A. p;oints. K.
French Husbands to
PARIS, Feb. 19-( P)-A recent
decision makes it appear that
French wives are governedN-byplaws
dating from the time of Napoleon
the First and, like it or- not, must
have their husbands' permission to
spend money legally.
This development came as a sur-
prise to many Parisian wives when
a recent trial was featured in pa-
pers here.
A furniture dealer was sued for
100 francs, about $4, by a husband
who claimed his wife had no legal
authority to give the merchant that
sum as a deposit on a dining room
set.
He alone, his lawyer said, had the
right to spend money for the fam-
ily account.

Suits And Ensembles
Achieve Popularity
for Coming Season
By B. A. C., '34.
Suits and ensembles of all types
command atention as Spring lends
some promise of fulfillment. For
the coming season suits, apparent-
ly, are to assume more than their
usual share of popularity, and as
soon as heavy coats can be safely
shed, they will speedily replace
them.
One suit which demanded out at-
tention was of a strange shade of
blue, which had an almost purple.
tinge. It was dark enough to be
practical, and yet bright enough to
be cheerful. The coat was short
and was trimmedEby a large black
Persian lamb collar of the shawl
type. The coat was short, and had
a narrow belt, which was fastened
by a large black buckle.
The skirt was long, and flared;
the r~iaterial used was a heavy,
rough -finished tweed. The blouse
which was worn with it was a very
lovely one of gray satin. The collar
was large, crossed over one side and
continued down the bodice in diag-
onal steps. The buttons which were
used in the. trimmin g were unusual:
ones, and were of crystal, encircled
with a tiny row of brilliants.

T ODAY begins a nation-wide Bicentennial Cele-
bration in honor of the father of our great

stir us with new patriotism, and inspire us to pre-
serve those wondrous ideals our forefathers fouogt
to establish. Let us be reminded that our recent
"hard times" are as nothing compared to the adver-
sities they suffered.
Let us now enter into the spirit of the Washington
Bicentennial celebration resolved to come through the
-fray with colors flying-a stronger, greater nation
than .ever before!
