COLLEGE SLANG IS THE UNIQUE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAMPUS
Some of the Choicest Colloquialisms. However, Are Dying in Fight Against 'Beer Bust'
By Norb Garrett
Each college is a small world of it itself, not independent in any way from the root of the world, but with preponderance over others and a language differing in many aspects from these encountered in other circles. Each college is a group of people exceedingly cosmopolitan in terms of culture and location in the classroom and on the campus.
The language especially is collegial and many words common on the campus are never uttered by the society itself. The degree to which the book which Webster made his life's work. Each college has expressive language to begin to another higher educational institution. University of Kansas is no exception to the rule, and its matriculates readily into English upon every provocation. Some colleges have phrasen" of the successful college man of M. Lrg.

Dates with motorsport are often played "playing Santa Claus," and with it the advice to "wear those red knickers" when they "heat" their time is to "shake-men-up-jack."
The girl of the Kansas man's heart desires is just his "bag," *sack*, *pick*, or *tat lady*. If she is beautiful or handsome, he will call her "a honey," *the Queen*, "sleak," *smooth*, or *fair*. On the other hand the fraternity brothers may pass the remark that Joe's girl has "lost some money" because she "no bargain," or "no power."

'Campused,' the sorority women's reins simply means losing the privilege of being friends' wends or for a definite length of time.
The old-fashioned "keer bust" or pre-Volastad days has assumed numerous cognition. Lately, however, they are using the more few times, and then only in a whisper. Recent unfortunate liquor publicity, along with a signed sledge making all University of Kansas students absolute technocrats has done much toward makerness.
