These spies are metal cartridges, hardly an inch long, which were placed on the legs of transmission towers on lines in Pennsyl vania and Virginia. This territory is apparently one of lightning's favorite hangouts. When the surge from a lightning bolt passes through a transmission tower, the little spy is magnetized in proportion to the highest current in the bolt. Linemen carrv the magnetized to headquarters, where, when placed in a "surge crest a m m e t e r ," they tell their story.

Michigan State Welcomes the Opportunity of giving you from month to month a message regarding the College and its facilities. Many of you are unaware of just what the College has to offer to the high school graduate who is trying to choose the college best suited to his needs. So that you may have this information regarding your Alma Mater, this series of messages is arranged to acquaint you with the present academic standing of Michigan State and its organization. No prospectve student, young man or young woman, need hesitate in choosing your Alma Mater be A it on a par with all the colleges and universities of the country. cause of its standing among other institutions. It has achieved two outstanding goals within the past three years which put First of all, Michigan State in November, 1931, was granted Class A rating by the Association of American Universities. No other accrediting body has higher academic requirements or is more careful in accrediting institutions of higher learning. This is an outstanding achievement for Michigan State as it makes it possible for graduates of the College to enter the graduate schools of all universities without the loss of credit. Close upon the heels of this recognition came the acceptance of the College by the American Association of University W o m e n. The College was inspected during 1932 and was voted full membership at the biennial convention of the Association in May, 1933. As a result, all alumnae of Michigan State are eligible to join the A. A. U. W. as active members. The College offers every student a well-rounded education in whatever field he chooses. The aca demic work is divided into the following six divisions, with a dean at the head of each: Agriculture A p p l i ed Science Engineering Home Economics Liberal Arts Veterinary Science W i t h in these divisions numerous curricula which a student may follow are outlined so that he may, with the least loss of time and at the lowest pos sible cost, secure the training which he desires.

But beginning with t he stadium in 1923. a program was embarked upon which quickly added almost twice the number of structures to t he school and almost doubled the attractiveness of its grounds. With I he cooperation of the legislature and of friends of t re Col lege, t he following constructions and repairings were com pleted: • two of the largest a nd most used on t he Campus. year t he old greenhouse was also rebuilt. IN 1924: t he new library a nd home economics buildings, this In In 1925: the horticultural building and a new greenhouse; the h e a l th service house rebuilt, a nd an addition made to the creamery.

H. Halladay, secretary of t he State Board of Agricul ture. T he improvements listed above were estimated to cost $277,000 and $50,000 was appropriated by the legislature for work on t he grounds, such as t he moving a nd planting of trees, grading of lawns, and general overhauling of t he Campus. Seven extensions of college land, established at different occasions, are to be found about t he state. The first in time is t he South Haven experimental station, with twenty-five acres, of which fifteen were donated by the State Horticul tural society in 1890. The Upper Peninsula station at C h a t h am was established in 1907 by a gift of 160 acres. Later by purchase and donation it grew until it now stretches over 820 acres. In 1917 t he G r a h am station near G r a nd Rapids was begun with a donation of fifty acres, a nd it now lists a hundred. T he soils experimental station n e ar Mancelona includes forty acres, a gift from the city of Mancelona in 1922. Five h u n d r ed seventy-seven acres began t he Dunbar forestry station near Sault Ste. Marie in 1925, where it now stretches over 40 acres more.

With some it passes for for forcefulness. with others for wit, but with t he majority elaboration—the brightening and r a t h er dull word-usage of an ordinary conversation. Although slang for a slang can never be more t h an temporary a nd phrase loses its force with age. the making of it is univer sal, a nd we find t h at every group has its private jargon (the lumbermen, the steel-workers, for example) which means a great deal to the initiate but little to the outsider. intensifying of fleeting, the Students are no exception to the rule. Probably every col lege has its own slang, growing out of natural conditions, but the rise of the college humorous magazine and the spread of "college talk" t h r o u gh the movies and the humor anthol ogies have made the slang of one college practically the slang of all. As for Sometimes they rise out of the derivation of slang terms—we approach here a deeper problem. resem blance in sound between the word and the t h i ng described, as "to smack", meaning to strike a blow. Again they arise from the application of the terminology of one occupation to a c tivities in another—"to sell out", meaning to lose possession of, or to be done out of. The great mass of slang terms, how ever, can scarcely be definitely traced. sailor or workman Modern college slang in particular owes much to other slangs. It draws from the gangster talk heard at the movies, talk heard during vacations, etc., the but it also has an element of classical reference which all the others lack, a nd this may make it more Some examples of Michigan State slang: "To go to town"—verb used to describe an action particu interesting. larly well done. "I went to town on t h at exam." a feigned interest to the "Browning"—verb, to try to get a higher mark by evincing instructor. "Crut-session"—noun, a gathering of persons for discus sion purposes. "Bull", or " crap sessions." mean the same thing. "On the spot"—adverbial phrase, meaning to be in a very painful or difficult position. Derived from the pool term. "Lousy"—adjective, poor. bad. etc. Probably derived from the late war. to eat. "To sniff"—verb, "Snap"—noun, an easy course. "Biddy"—noun, a girl. "Cluck"—noun, a stupid person.
