new kind of ENGLISH
San Francisco, Cal. (ACP)—From
the land of earthquakes, California
and more specifically from San Fran
cisco, comes a new kind of tremor —
a tremor that may some day tear
apart the very foundation of the
Engli.h language.
It may sound funny to you, but it
is a serious proposition with Lou
Harrison, a former student at San
Francisco State College, who is ex
perimenting with a new type of po-
etio expression. It is based on the
use of special verbs made from nouns
and used in a verbal and often ad
verbial sense.
“Road yourself — look lakely
love cliffly — hill yourself.” These
are only a few illustrations Mr. Har
rison offers. His latest poetry re
veals many more examples of this
simplification of sentence structure
hy his novel adaption of verbs cre
ated from nouns.
This practice is not really new; one
of our popular summer expressions
to sun one’s self” is an illustra
tion of Harrison’s basic idea.
Los Angeles, Oal., (ACP)—“Wom
en do not make burn newspaper
men,” writes Barbara Berch in the
Junior Collegian of Los Angeles
Junior College.
“Thoroughly disproving the old
adage employed in tlie newsiKiper
profession is the long and imposing
list of famed women journalists in
cluding such stellar writing figures
as Dorothy Dix, Elsie Robinson, Fay
King, Eleanor Tiarnes, anid Noll
Brinkley.
“Dorothy Dix, (Mrs Elizabeth
Meriwether Gilmer in private life),
now 66, is the most important news
paper confidante in the world. Serv
ing as the helpful counselor to ap
proximately 13,000,000 readers, Miss
Dix’s column appears in over two
hundred newspapers the world over.
‘ ‘ Elsie Robinson, top Hearstian
‘sob sister,’ ie a valuable syndicated
addition to the Hearst chain of news
papers. Her 'womanly point of
view’ on current affairs is worth
while and offers sentimental slants
to the purely impersonal news report

“One of the foremost dramatic
critics, among both men and women,
is Eleanor Barnes, Los Angeles Daily
News’ motion picture editor. Her
columns on films in Manchester
Boddy’s famed tabloid are reliable,

nowledges David’s supremacy.
Friday, October 9, 1936—
Rev. Ernest Sonimerfelt of the
Bethesda, Fulp and Oak Grove Mo
ravian churches spoke of the un
sung heroes in college. He said that
the best work done by those in
the background. A girl in the back
ground will find that her inferiority
complex dissolves when she realizes
the little beautiful things she can
do. “True loveliness brings with
it its own prominence.” “Whosoever
shall act himself shall be abased; and
he that shall humble himself shall be
exalted. ’'

Dr. Uondthaler gave the last of
the talks designed for the Freshmen
on the religious life of a college girl.
Tn Xew Vork City, right in the heart
of its bustle, is a shrine where one
may find peace, quiet and God. So a
college girl, in spite of the rush of
her life, .should have a shrine in her
heart which she may enter to seek
God and to take stock of her life, and
to regain her poise.

Dr. Rondthaler read the moving
story of Saul’s and .Tonathan’s death

MUHLENBERG WEEKLY
TO PRESENT RADIO
PROGRAM
ES SPANISH WAR
SITUATION
Allentown, I'a. (iNSFA)—Present
ing a novel program of camjms news
and comments, the Muhlenberg
Weekly has taken t othe air in the
hope of establishing closer contact
between townspeople, Muhlenberg
alumni, the undergraduates of the
campus. W^ith Frank Roosevelt Boy
er, ’38 as commentator, the college
newsjiaper hopes to make these
broadcasts a permanent feature
every Wednesday afternoon over the
Allentown radio station, WCBA-
WSAN.
“Muhlenberg on the Air,” a pro
gram of educational features, has
already bien on the air through the
local station for several years, un
der the directorship of Dr. Carl Boy
er, Professor of Education. The
to broaden the scope of the radio
news broacast represents an attempt
program of the college.
Is Speaker At Y. P. M.
The first course of the “Spanish
J'’>*ry,” which was discussed Wednes
day morning by Dr. Francis Ans-
combe during expanded chapel, is
that there are no Spaniords in Spain.
There are many groups of people
who live in the country and who have
not and cannot be welded into one,
and some of these are patriotic Span
iards. Causes for this lack of unity
in Spain are explained by the speak
er in his address. “ Georgraphy, ”
said Dr. Anscombe, ‘ ‘ has played a
large part in preventing the Spanish
people from being united. Travel is
difficult; there are no rivers and
few open plains, Had there been,
the local barriers between Goths,
Italians, Moors, Mohammedans and
others who live in Siwin, would have
been broken down, and the Spain of
today wouhl probably be a nation
with a centralized and satisfactory
government. As it is, there is noth
ing to bind the people together or to
make them feel loyal to their coun
try. There is no national system of
education; ,i very low degree of lit
eracy prevails, and Spain has no
Syndicated I’ress to compare with
the news sources of other countries.
The Spanish people are divided in
every resjM'ct; and that is the chief
cause lying behind the pre.sent revo
lution.
The land (piestion in Spain is |uito
ijniH>rtant in regards to the war
which is now in progress there.
I'eud:ili8m, which still prevails to a
largo extent allows a duke to own
great estates of many thousand acres
while the worker has barely one
siuare foot of land to call his own.
In addition to the privately owned
land, much was formerly owned by
the Catholic Church. The rebels
have confiscuted the latter.
The iH^ople of Spain are terribly
poor, they have been pressel and
oppressed (o the limit of their en
durance, and now they have turnwl
on their oppressors and driven them
from Spain. The (JathoUo Church is
no longer recognized as the state
church.
S(>anish rebels have also turned
against the army, which was former
ly a separate, jjolitical unit, con
trolling elections and government.
When the army became too obnox
ious to the workers and middle class
Spanish people, in 1931 Alfonzo was
forced to flee and a republic wa« set
up.
The republic was not wicwssful
and nor was the dictatorship of
