GET MORE 6I'S

Begin to Absorb Overflow From ‘Name’ Colleges.

By Secripps-Howard Newspapers . WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, — Some small liberal arts colleges in the east and midwest have begun to absorb part of the veterans’ overflow from larger schools by streamlining their classes to meet the

Oh 1.’s needs. Meanwhile, the president of a major university urged early setting up of regional “lend lease” among universities to assist smaller schools in conversion to courses acceptable to veterans, Small ¢olleges earlier had reported few veterans enrolled while bigger schools have been unable to admit all who apply. A recént veterans administration survey uncovered 400,000 vacancies in 1200 institutions. At the same time, 41 per cent of ex-servicemen enrolled the first term were found in 38 “name” schools. Veterans apparently shunned the smaller colleges, dis liking a straight liberal arts course. Dr, John M. Potter, president of Hobart college, Geneva, N. Y,, revealed today that his’ school has admitted for the second semester “twice the number of men enrolled last term,” all veterans, Marietta Ready for Influx At Marietta, O., Stanley C. Morris, chairman of the board of trustees at Marietta college (present enrollment 275) reported a fourpoint veterans program had brought “a flood of inquiries, as many as 100 in one day.” Mr. Morris said Marietta would enroll 400 veterans —almost twice its present student load—the second semester “and, if we can get adequate housing, 750 in September.” ® Marietta's four-point veterans program includes: 1, Ex-servicemen and women are admitted at any time during the

year, Regular courses have been].

adapted to meet individual veterans’ requirements, : “Accelerated Year” Continued 2. The “accelerated year” has been continued to give veterans an opportunity to complete education in minimum time, The college year is divided into four terms, beginning in mid-September, Feb. 1, June 1, and mid-July. 3. A veteran without a high school diploma is “congidered for admission it he is serious in his approach to his work.” After a conference with his Instructors, the veteran is given 8 “tailor made” program. 4. Wives of G. I. students are offered free instruction in regular college courses up to six credits a semester. .Dr, Cloyd H. Marvin, president of George Washington university, Washington, D. C., where 2000 veterans have enrolled for the semester which began Monday, urged collegiate “lend-lease” to distribute enrollment. Sees Benefit in ‘Lend-Lease’ “Lend-lease would not be oneway,” he said. “In addition to referring veterans to smaller institutions, larger schools with a surplus of teachers could loan faculty members as visiting professors.” Dr. Marvin suggested lend-lease apply to lecture halls, laboratories, and libararies where a small college and a large college are in the same general area. “Co-operative projects among universities are rare,” Dr. Marvin declared. “This may come as a shock to many old-fashioned educators, but universities will have to learn to share with each other in the future.”

NAVY WIVES JAM HONOLULU HOUSING

— Times Foreign Service HONOLULU, T. H, Feb, 6. — Honolulu’s already strained housing situation is going from bad to worse with the arrival of navy wives to join their husbands. Civilian workers at Pearl Harbor have challenged an order,by Rear Adm. Edward M. Hanson, navy yard commandant, evacuating them from two navy housing areas to make way for navy officers and their families. Although these housing areas originally were built for navy families, the families were evacuated to the United States during the war and the housing areas were turned over to civilians who came here by the thousands to work in the navy yard.

Some 20,000 civilians remain from |

the 30,000 peak reached during the war, A spokesman for the workers said 3000 persons would be displaced if Adm, Hanson’s order were carried out and private housing in Honolulu is virtually non-existent. Civilian workers pointed out that the areas they were ordered to vacate are to be turned over only to navy and marine jofficers, and that the navy makes no provision for enlisted men’s housing. The army also is bringing servicemen's families to Honolulu, but no problem exists in this case because the army has adequate housing of its own.

Mrs. Roosevelt Reawakens Universal Language Ideas

By FRANK ASTON A Soripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Feb, 6. — Mrs, Eleanor Roosevelt, as a UNO delegate in London, suggested recently that the world needed an inter

in’ New York, spoke right up, in English, It said it was trying like everything bo. provide: such a language. In fact, it has just completed three new schemes: “The naturalistic.” “The - slightly more regularized scheme.” “A more systematic method.” Those three phrases mean something to language specialists, Educators are now poring over the details of the three and preparing their opinions, From this survey the association hopes to construct and sponsor an auxiliary language that will function. Esperanto Tongue At least 200 such language devices already are on record. They go by such names as Esperanto, Basic English, Interlingua, Ido, Novial and Occidental. . Esperanto was invented by Dr. Zamenhof, a Pole in 1887. His pen name was Esperanto, His scheme combines the major Buropean languages and many of his words look familiar to students of romance languages. For instance, in Esperanto “amas”

, {means a pile; “domo,” a house;

“toro,” world; “jes,” yes; “du,” two; “tre,” very; “homo,” man : “homoj,” people. You don't worry with genders. ~ More Simplified Ido, created in 1907, is an offshot of Esperanto and is said to be simpler. But most students found it equally tough, although it had no accented letters, correlatives, or agreement of adjective with noun. Basic English—“English within English"s=—is called "strictly logical. It has 850 words, 13 verbs. ’ One verb is required to do the

Interlingua . But one Basic English student trying to say “oxtail soup” evolved: “Soup made from tail of man. cow.” Critics say the scheme lacks flexi bility. <The name, Basic English, was made from the acrostio, “British American Scientific International Commercial English.” Interlingua is the brainchild of Prof. G. Peano who, in 1908, deliv. ered a lecture to a learned audience in good classical Latin. Then he delivered, it again in his new lingo, retaining the living Latin roots but ar. His ol=

bypassing all the gramm listeners said it was a cinch to f low him in Interlingua—but they knew Latin. When tried on listeners who were not Latin sharks, Inter lingua often has fajled to arouse enthusiasm. Two Language Idea Robert L. Owen, former Oklahoma senator, advocates his Global Alphabet. Roughly, it is a kind of international shorthand. Mr, Owen has compiled a list of symbols, each representing a speech sound. For each symbol there should be an equivalent word .or syllable in any established language. As a Global Alphabetite, you'd listen to a speaker in a foreign tongue and jot down his sounds in your global symbols. Then you'd translate your notes into your own langauge. At all such language inventions the U. 8; office of education harrumphi. It insists the best way to provide international conversa tion is to teach everyone at least one extra language. That would be easy, says the office, if schools would teach us while we're young and easy to instruct.
