McCoy English, English Everywhere, Asks Literature Prof English-can and should become t'h e world's international lan guage, says William L. Werner, professor of American literature, in a five-page essay, "English for the World," presented as a lead ing article in the current issue of the Saturday Review of Litera ture. ' Werner, who has conducted the "Bookworm" column in the Cen tre Daily Times for more than 20 years, claims English is the lan guage most suited for internation al use because it is the world's only major non-dialectal language and is spoken by 225 million peo ple. English is constantly being spread in foreign countries by American and British troop s, Werner points out, as well as by scholars, tourists, the radio, mo tion' pictures; and international festivals. In his article, Werner traces the development of proposed -inter national languages, and mentions the work of Dr. Frank Laubach, cousin of John Laubach, All-Col lege president, who used phonetic alphabets for various Filipino di alects. Werner says he wrote the arti cle because of his interest as an English teacher in simplifying the English language—"all those mis spelled words al these years," he said.

McCoy_ expressed. hope that if the response to the additional rec reation plans is sufficient, more areas may be improved and ' opened for student use. All - College Cabinet, in joint [ session with the Athletic Asso ciation, recently heard a number of McCoy's suggestions for red- Teation expansion. Included in his suggestions was a plan for division of student tickets for Rec Hall games so that one half the students would be assured of a seat at these events.
