THE WEEKLY HABIT
By TOYO TAKATA
First prize, $100. Even in this
era of the shrivelled buck, that’s
a lot of money to be giving- out
as a single prize in an oratorical
contest for students. A cash re­
ward in itself, is almost unpre­
cedented for speechfests, and
$100 is too much to award one
person on the strength of his
speaking ability.
To offer such a sum is to
place more emphasis on the luc­
rative booty involved rather than
looking upon oratorical contest
as a grand opportunity for train­
ing in public speaking, a valuable
asset that too few of us possess.
The reward should not be the
primary consideration.
Students should be encouraged
to participate in the contest for
its more permanent benefits.
There is a great deal that can
be gained in the way of confi­
dence and self-expression before
an audience. This, rather than a
fistful of banknotes should en­
tice the would-be orators to the
speaker's podium. A smaller cash
award together with the trophy
would not be objectionable, but
a $100 is a tidy sum and it tends
to turn the contest into a com-,
mercial circus or a giveaway
program.
The argument for cash prizes
which besides the $100 to the
winner, is $50 to the runner-up,
$25 for third, $15 for fourth and
$10 for fifth, is that contestants
won’t come forward otherwise.
You’ve got to have a come-on.
If it takes that kind of money
to hound them out, it’s not worth
trying.
We can’t see much purpose
in holding an oratorical contest
if they’re going to ask “What’s
it worth?” before they consent
to take part. Nor do we believe
that students are so keyed up to
the materialistic angle that they’ll
spurn the chance unless they are
offered something substantial.
We note thkt last spring Al­
berta was able to hold a very
successful
oratorical
contest.
Moreover they had to hold local
preliminaries in order to decide
the finalists. They had plenty of
contestants and let’s remember
that there are .only about half
the number of Niseis there as
there are in Southern Ontario.

Nisei "Slanguage"

This is Really English
By MARY OYAMA

Or, should we say the “bootch

most intriguing expressions we ve encountered lately are the
Hawaiian “Da kind” (‘ the kind )
and “Take it easy—by slow.” In
