THE MICHIGAN DAI-LY Eastern Colleges Leave Slang Talk To 'live' A ddicts College slang, that mysterious cre- ation of language by Joe College and his girl, is dying a slow death. At least, it is according to our neighbors in Eastern colleges.- It is no longer necessary for a col- lege student to speak in a language that is meaningless to anyone whose interests aren't English Lit and rush- ing sorority or fraternity pledges. One of the several reasons for the slump in slang is that the rug-cutting jt- berbugs have taken over, and have swung it so expertly that the average college student can't and won't com- pete.. From a sweet young thing attend- ing a numnber one woman's college whose tuition is more than the in- come of an average family, comes another reason. High School students use so much slang that college stu- dents try to get away from it just to assert their superiority (sour grapes!) She claimed that she couldn't even talk to her younger brother w he e school. They "just didn't speak the same language at all." As a substitute for such wacky slang as "pitching woo," last year's favorite, this year's collegians are go- ing in for "cute comparisons." For instance, "She's as subtle as a train wreck," or "as sophisticated as Shir- ley Temple," or they might even de- scribe her as "neat as an unmade bed.'' Bull sessions which seem to be here to stay, are filled with phrases picked from psychology courses. Students get "vicarious thrills," instead of the old fashioned spine chills. Chrc Actmivties Head 'To Be Fe Led A dinner honoring Beth Leinbach, assistant director of student work1 and church activities at the First Presbyterian church, will be given at 6:30 p.m. tonight at the Union by members of the Westminster Guild. Miss Leinbach's resignation, due to failing health, has been accepted by the church board. After spending part of the summer in travel, Miss Leinbach plans to enter Columbia University where she will take up special courses. Coller To Attend MeetingI Dr. Frederick A.
