Class Is Told Of Need For Many Words Porohovshikov Speaks Describes Essential Of Good Writing As Knowledge Of Own Language "The first essential toward being able to write well is to know your own language," said Professor Pierre Porohovshikov in his address to the class of Journalism 23, last Saturday morning. "You must know language," ccfntinued the speaker. "You can't smdl it, see it, or feel it. To know your own language well is to be familiar with another language. There are 247,000 words in the English language and there is no harm or impossibility in knowing 6,000 or 7,000. Writing needs personality and this comes only from words." Professor Porohovshikov said that second in importance is to have something to say. Think a little and write a lot is the common thing; the good thing is to think a lot and write a little. "Call a spade a spade," he advised. "Use common words, but say uncommon things. As examples of unusual thoughts expressed in plain words, I would offer such quotations as Shakespeare's 'All the world's a stage,' and 'To be or not to be.' " As a last word of counsel the speaker advised the olass to always have ready a scrap of paper and a little bit of pencil. When a thought comes, he said, it stays only a moment and if you do not write it down it is gone. Professor Porohovshikov is a famous linguist, teacher, and former lawyer of Russia. He has spoken at many schools and colleges in America and is known throughout the country. u. s. o. Papers Read To Engineers To Be Sent To Meet Local A. I. E. E.

Lost Pencils Are Returned At McKissick Threat Journalism Class Gives Up Property After Dire Warning l'or failure to make proper restitution of valuable property to its rightful, lawful, and legitimate owner, Dean J. Rion McKissick, head of the Journalism school, threatened his students with a dire and sinister punishment?a punishment, which, to a student of journalism, is tantamount to execution by gallows, hanging, or walking-the-plank. "To anyone failing to return my pencil, I shall," Professor McKissick enunicated clearly, deliberately, and ominously, "I shall on examination ask a question in higher calculus which shall count precisely one-half the exam!" Upon being questioned as to whether or not the pencils had been returned, Colonel McKissick smiled pleasantly and replied: "Oh, yes! I met with no difficulty at all in getting those pencils backl" .til:r-o bee* camej Folks who from choice give a though Thai's beca moisture ? an friendly, mild Camels are that now?the and mild Doi can buy.

The work has attracted the attention of many students and several professors have been seen acting as bricklayers. Sundry students mostly seniors, have been laying brick to keep from attending classes. The students offered to give their time to bricking the sidewalks "on account of the depression." One thing seemingly not affected by the depression is the Garnet and Black. Over 900 pictures have already been made, 300 more than have ever been put in the annual before. It seems that each student wants to show his or her beauty. i?r esh asted! at would only re that makes ayfine cigarette d do little or dried-out or yourself what or?switch to n, if you can! ,CCO COMPANY ,/V.C.
