SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1928
Enforced as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence Kannas, under the act of March 5, 1923.
Published in the afternoon, five times a week, and on Sunday morning, by students in the Department of Journalism of the University of Arizona, from the Press of the Department
GO TO CHURCH TODAY
If a man were suddenly moved to Mars, he would welcome gladly any of the old standards and contracts by which he gunged his surroundings on earth.
In the same way the freshman, suddenly transplanted from home, will do well to maintain some of the contacts to which he has been accustomed and thus keep his bearings in the college world. Even if he firmly intends to become the chief athlete on the campus, the new student who has been accustomed to church atmosphere will do well to maintain church contacts. They will help him keep his feet on the ground and his mind measuring accurately.
SNAP JUDGMENT
Our 1932 cheerleader will be chosen Tuesday night. That, in effect, will be the result of the new appetitive system announced by the Men's Student Council. Four freshman are to be selected at the tryouts Tuesday. Next year one of these will be dropped. In the junior year, a second will be removed. At the beginning of his senior year the survivor will automatically become head cheerfesions:
leader.
On its face the plan has many objection:
(1) Can the senior be predicted from the freshman sample?
(2) Should we pass by the potential cheerleaders who come here as juniors from the two-year colleges of the state?
(3) Will four freshmen, knowing they have no other competition, put forth their best?
(5) How effective are tryouts before a small, formal group?
(4) If, on the other hand, keen competition should develop, will the limited field of selection cause factional strife?
(6) Will the new man, without organizations backing him, have the courage to try out so early in the year?
The need for a plan which closes the doors forever after a brief tryout is difficult to see. The plan seems to have been promoted with breathtaking rapidity. To choose the cheerler for 1922 at this time seems a snap judgment and the cheerleader is too important to the whole student body to be selected in such a manner.
FLEXIBILITY
England has at least made up her mind to the fact that the million men who have been living on the government dole since the war are permanently, not temporarily, out of work. They are workmen in industries no longer able to use their old quotas of employees. Other industries, dozens of them, are expanding as rapidly as labor scales will permit. But the abundances of idle labor is no help to them nor do their needs spell opportunity for the government's wards.
Most of the unemployed were marginal producers in specialized fields. It is not possible for them to learn a new trade well enough to maintain themselves or to justify their employment and the expense of training. The British worker is inflexible, as all workers tend to be in this age of specialization.
The nations of the earth hurry daily and yearly through their routine of business making no effort to adjust the needs of specialized machines to the supply of labor. Result: Surplus labor is some industries, scarcity in others, doles, heavy taxes.
VACANT SEATS
A seething mob of students standing around the doors of the Auditorium; Aisles jammed. Students plunging through temporary openings in the mob to get out simply because they can't make their way into the hall to take part in the opening exercises of the University.
The Lord's prayer is being repented.
One puffs and pants between words
and gets his breath by the time the
"Last Amen" has died away. Then
one looks around to see this enormous crowd and finds, not a packed house, no students standing in the alley near the stage; rather a small house, with a thousand empty seats near the stage, and half as many more in the balconies. "A shame," one thinks, "to have so many turned away just because a number of students feel they must remain in the rear where they may bolt at a moment's notice and be out of the building fully three minutes before the last student comes out the doors. Couldn't there be special ushers to show directions, point out seats? Shouldn't students who come first have enough regard for later ones to take seams near the front?"

The publication of the faculty directory is being delayed by the failure of a few faculty members to return their information cards to the Chancellor's office. It is necessary that the data as they address and telephone students be kept in the computer because they may need the directory which will go to press very soon. E. H. LINDLEY

Canadian police arrested a man wanted in California for having opium and who was unable to have feel to Chicago where they've been arrested, a murderer sought to be arrested.
The first week of school activity has passed on Mt. Oread and students are only hoping to solicitors for papers, magazines, year books, activity tickets, fees and a thousand and one other things will cope operations long enough to let them get started on their studies and count the money they have left if any.
WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB:
OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
Vol. XXVI Sunday, September 23, 1928 No. 9
Try-outs for the Women's Gle Club will be held in room 21, center Administration building, from 4 to 6, on Monday afternoon, Sept. 24, for those whose names begin with the letters "A" to "M," and on Tuesday afternoon for those whose names begin with the letters "N" to "Z." All former members of the gle club must leave their names in the dean or women's office before that time, if they wish to continue their membership.
Now that football games are about to start it is time that "prominent" alumni, start their annual campaign against "Atletic administrators, coaches and losing teams."
A recent law has been passed in New Jersey to eliminate bite-skining. It's a good thing that such a law hasn't been passed in Kansas or, at a lot of jawawayers wouldn't get to go home Christians or Thanksgiving time.
Since the world series has been scheduled to start on Oct. 4, it can be clearly seen why Tunney has chosen Oct. 5 as his wedding day. And he even chose a small town in Italy, with the hopes that fans wouldn't crowd the ropes while the action was going on.
A new name for the small musette which is so much in vogue at the present time is windbreak wiper. Some that are being sported on the campus wouldn't even wipe a mirror in a compact.

--logic, or reason, it is only that "cultivated people" do not use it. When reason and logic backed by history fail to explain an existing peculiarity in language the philologist falls back on this at first quiet and unassuming "used by cultivated people." There seems to be no coercion in it, nothing but a ruthless statement of fact. But what could be more infidiously deadly in any sort of a philosophical argument than a verdict of "cultivated people"? Who is so bold, or so demented as franquently to himself as a door? Who is there so thick-skinned and impregnated to the cateau of others that he will not squirm when accused of being "uncultured," and widow? America has no recognized herdry save cultivation.
"CULTIVATED PEOPLE"
Our Contemporaries
"Ain't no good" you will readily recognize the well known double negative, supposed, in popular belief, to make an affirmative. Some of our amateur authorities on speech will tell you that two such negatives nullify each other and virtually make an affirmative, for this reason the piquetures phrase "Ain't no good" is to be stubiously avoided. As a matter of fact, however, expert philosophers assure us that "Ain't no good" does not signify an affirmative. The double negative merely signifies accepted negation. In Chaucer for instance, we find three and four negatives in the same sentence. "He never yet无牲妻 ne yeade unto no manner weight." What then is the matter with "Ain't no good?" Why are we forbidden to use it?
The secret is this: it isn't being used by "cultivated people!" This explanation of the phenomenon, at first, has a soft, almost soothing and reassuring, tone about it. There is nothing radically wrong with the phrase, there is nothing to insult

The philologists have hit upon a comfortable, but inaccurate doctrine from which there can be no appeal and no escape for sensitive people. If you are careless in speech, if you so far bravely made your way in the world in spite of "Aint no good."
