of the American Society of Newspaper
Editors, and so that the members of
our Society may be brought into closer
contact with the journalism schools,"
Secretary A. H. Kirchhofer ofthe Buffalo
Evening News explains in his
letter of invitation.
The invitation evidences the increasing
contact and cooperation between
newspapers and schools of journalism,
according to J. Rion McKissick,
dean of the University school of
journalism, who hopes that it will be
possible for it to be represented at the
Washington meeting.
Fred Fuller Shedd, editor of the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, is president
of the society. Among its directors
arc William Allen White of the
Emporia?Gazette; Willis J. Abbott,
editor of the Christian Science Monitor;

Modern Slang!
i
Boston University Pedagogues De- i
clare That Slang Is Not
Inane, Vicious ?
. C
Slang, as it is conceived by representatives
of the English departments 1
of two of the Boston University colleges,
is no great inane evil which is
undermining our language and relegating
standard English words to a '
class with the dodo and the bustle, 1
but, on the contrary, is a useful and 1
colorful means of expression which has '
a legitimate place in everyday conver- '
sation.
Nor is the use of slang any more 1
prevalent today than it was in grand- 1
ma's day. Its individual words and '
phrases may change fronr age to age 5
but slang, like Tennyson's highly-publicizcd
river, goes on forever.
Prof. George M. Sneath of C. L. A.
and Prof. Roy J. Honeywell of C. B.
A. both agree that slang was as popular
in their college days as it is today,
and that so long as it does not hamper a
person's ability to speak correct English
in public, it docs no especial harm.
Even the scholarly precincts of the
university English offices are admittedly
dens of slang upon occasion. ,
Students Don't Originate <
College students may use slang, but 1
they arc seldom the originators of it, j
according to Professor Sneath. The 1
fields and arenas of sport and the
stage are the chief breeding places of 1
slang, he believes, and such slang 1
phrases as do originate in a college are
likely to be provincial and remain pc- 1
culiar to that one institution. '
Very little of the jargon of the un- 5
der-world ever gets into popular cir- (
culation, believes the organizer of the
Sneath Debating Society. Look over <
the lists of gangsters' phrases which '
appear in magazines and newspapers 1
occasionally, he points out and see how
few of the expressions are intelligible
to you.
Professor Honeywell attributes a
larger proportion of popular slang
words to a shady birth than does Professor
Sneath. Such phrases arc often
adopted by the general public with
little knowledge of the connotation
which they originally carried, he says.

^ 13 Trustees
Amendment To Bill Introduced
By Lambrig-ht And Taylor
Made Tuesday
An amendment to the bill proposed
by Representatives Taylor and Lambright
of Spartanburg was added by
the committee on education so that the
University of South Carolina would
have a total of 13 trustees instead of
the 50 proposed by the original bill.
The Taylor-Lambright bill originally
provided that the governor, state superintendent
of education, chairman of
the house and senate committees on
education, and one trustee from each
af the 40 counties should compose the
board. This arrangement would give
every county a voice in the affairs of
the university.
The board was limited by the education
committee to the four ex-officio
members and seven others. Six of
these would come from one each of
the six congressional districts and the
ieventh from the state at-large. The
seven would be appointed by the gov:rnor,
but it would'be upon recommeniation
of the general assembly as a
whole instead of the respective county
lelegations.
An executive committee of five to
jperate as a central board would reiiain
as in the original bill. The Spartanburg
representatives indicated that
they would assent to< the amendment
)y the education committee.
Allen Lambright, of Spartanburg, is
low a senior in the Law School at the
University, and Claude Taylor, also
af Spartanburg, finished the University
some years ago.v

recently published a similar book on
the state of North Carolina. They al- i
so plan works on the conditions of
Tennessee and Virginia by professors 1
at their respective state universities. <
Dr. Derrick stated that his book
would be similar to the one which E.

wrote on that state and that he planned
to begin work at an early date.
"The History of the South Carolina

Daily Tar Heel Now Boasts Of
One Of South's Few
Collegiate Dailies
Celebrating its 39th birthday, The
Daily (U. of N. C.) Tar Heel gave a
survey in Tuesday's issue of its life
history. The publication has the distinction
of being one of the few
Southern collegiate dailies.
The paper says:
"Published every Thursday by the
University athletic association for the
the purpose of spreading the progress
of Carolina's prowess, the paper first
consisted of four pages sized ten inches
by fourteen and a half. The first
issue had four columns of ten point
type on each page.
"The growing demands of the University
have shown the needs of a
weekly paper," stated a salutatory editorial
appearing on the front page.
"The University athletic association,
regarding itself as a means by which
such a need could be supplied, at a
stated meeting elected a board of editors
(chief and five subs) and a business
manager.
"Expressing great trepidation, mingled
with determination, editors invited
the "indulgence and assistance" of the
faculty and student body to assure
the success of the new venture.
"Another front page editorial expressed
the policy of the paper. It
will contain a summary of all occurrences
in the University and village of
Chapel Hill...Space will be assigned
each week for the thorough discussion
of all points pertaining to the advancement
of the University... .A brief account
of occurrences in the athletic
world....and all society news, personals,
and every subject of interest,
both to the students and citizens of |
the village, will be treated each week
The columns will be open to discussion
on all appropriate subjects with
an endeavor to do full justice to everyone
Advertisers will note that this 1
is the.best, quickest, and surest means !
by which they can reach the student '
body... .Subscriptions $l.r>0 per year.
Seventy-five cents for the spring.
"The only news story on the front
page was a detailed description of a
visit of the visitation committee of the
state legislature twenty days before."
