Vott......CIrculetlon Manager ' THE MISSION DRIVE In the "Other Opinions" column on this page today, The Daily Nebraskan publishes a letter written by Mr. Kwei Chen, a Chinese student at the University, concerning the Grace Coppock drive which is now being conducted by the Y. W. C. A. This letter should be both read and studied by every person sufficiently interested in the campaign to serve a solicitor or to contribute toward the fund. The letter is more than a mere statement of facts in answer to the charges of a Daily Nebraskan corres pondent last Tuesday. It is more than an expression of the attitude of the Chinese people toward such movements. It is representative of the excellent qualities of the Chinese, which we, in our zeal to uplift, too often overlook. Could an American student have writen with as much courtesy and consideration? Would an American student have been so cautious in his assertions? Have any of the pro moters of the present drive thought of the difference between Independ ent entry into China by individual Christians, and entry by a group supported and controlled by astrong ly organized mission board? Aother letter in the same column, written by an intelligent American observer, of the campaign, is also worth reading. It is concerned with the methods by which the Grace Coppock fund is being raised and the criticisms voiced might apply to manjj other "drives" as well. The Daily Nebraskan has no more information concerning the value of the work for which the Y. W. C. A. is now soliciting money than does the average student who is asked to con tribute. We have no desire to in terfere with their campaign. The event does raise questions, however, which every University student ought to be thinking about. NOT MUCH NOISE Another good reason for support ing the University Y. M. C. A. was that mentioned In Dean Engbcrg's statement which appeared on the first page of The Daily Nebraskan yesterday. The writer called atten tion to the fact that the Y. M. C. A.'s work Is "so quietly and unos tctiously done that ninny are not aware until they stop to think of the tremendous help the 'Y' gives In bo many ways." Most student organizations at the University of Nebraska make plenty of noise about their activities. The class organizations, the women's so cieties, and the church organizations usually manago to get plenty of pub licity whenever they do something really important, and sometimes they obtain a liberal amount of printer's ink for things that involve nothing but light refreshments. The Y. M. C. A. helps students In dozens of ways. The employment bureau gets jobs for a surprisingly large number of men. At the begin ning of Bchool year, it renders a great service by listing suitable rooming houses. It provides freshmen, at no cost to themselves, with a handbook so valuable that even upperclassmen cloture copies. And, as was said yes terday, it is one of the most active organization in the most important business of all making students think. Other Opinions The Daily Nebraskan assumes no responsibility for the senti ments expressed by correspon dents and reserves the right to exclude any communications whose publication may for any reason seem undesirable. In all cases the editor must know the identity of the contributor. No communications will be publish ed anonymously, but by special arrangement initials only may be signed. THE CHINESE VIEW To the Editor: When I sat down to write to you about the Grace Coppock drive as you had requested me to do, I read E. M.'s letter in yesterday's Daily Ne braskan concerning 'the same thing. I think. I can do well by giving a re ply to E. M. First of all I wish to say that "the benighted people" appreciate greatly the effort which Christlon Idealists make to help others In a friendly way. Personally I think that the part which the Y. W. C. A. In China has played In the development of physical education for women Is ad mirable. Day before yesterday I talked with one of the members of tho Grace Coppock committee who are directing the campaign. She told mn that although she does not ap prove of everything that is done by the missionary In China, she believes that the fraternal aid given to the development of physicul education of Chinese women Is worth while. On that point I agree with her. E. M. Is correct in saying tha "Chinese huve some sense of morals and some Intelligence of health." Hut they do not wont to reject the help of sincere friends. From the scries of addresses which Miss Bar ger delivered while she was here, one might judge that she did not quite understand China and her people. This however, concerns only the worker, not the work itself, which, In my opinion, is valuable to Chinese women. I leave this to tho authori ties who are in control of the Grace Coppock Memorial Fund. I hnpo that by the spending of this fund in China there may be n harm done to the traditional friendship beewcen tho United States of America and the Republic of China. To those who wish to carry the Christ's mission to China, I wish to say that they arc always welcome. China defies nothing but the devils of the foreigners. The Chinese are comparatively tolerant and courte ous. They are, too, always humbly willing to loar.i f -oni other peoples. Only, I should advise the good, intel ligent follower.! 1' Chritl to gj to China independently, instead of being sent by a foreign mission " board, which is the chief source of the cor ruption of foreign missionary work. And I think, too, that it is necess ary for those who go to China as teachers to know something of Chi nese philosophy, history, and liter- ture. KWEI CHEN. MORE BUNK "Don't cut cut class today. It will cost you exactly $50," declares the editor of The Toreador, Texas Tech nological College Newspaper. And this earnest crusader for what he believes to be the cause of higher education then goes on to prove his assertion by citing statistics gather ed by the Massachusets department of labor which shows that every day s young man spend in college is worth $100 to him, and that every class he cuts means a deduction of $50 from his future earnings. The sweating statistician has found that the average earnings of college stu dents between the ages of 22 and 60 are $150,000, while mere high school graduates earn only $78,000 between the ages of 18 and 60, etc., etc. Why should we bother you with more of this bunk? If college students are so gullible as to believe all these wild state ments, there is little hope for them. The majority don't, but every now and then some fellow comes alone who does swallow the sweet morsels. That's the pitiful part of the story. KOSMET KLUB Last semester The Daily Nebras kan urged that a musical comedy or some similar entertainment by Uni versity students be given this spring. Rumors now reach us that the Kos met Klub is seeking reinstatement with a view to presenting such a show again this year. This is an approp riate time, therefore, to say again that it will be unfortunate if there is no musical comedy this spring, and express the hope that the authorities will see fit to reinstate the organi sation. There were a number of organiza- tions on the Nebraska campus the loss of which would not be felt. The Kosmet Klub was not one of them. It had a definite place on the campus and filled a definite need. It has been punished by a year's suspension now and a continuance of the sus pension will mean the certain death of the organization. Nearly all of the members of the Kosmet Klub tire now seniors and will be gone next year. If they ore not given the opportunity now of re viving the organization and getting new men into it, there will be little possibility of its revival later. When Kosmet Klub was suspended ii. vas supposedly because they had A PROFESSIONAL DRIVE To the Editor: The dilligent young ladies who arc conducting the Grace Coppock me morial drive are to be congraulated for the business-like and profession al manner in which thoy have gone about the job. It has all of the tar marks of professional work. The real significance of the appeal made by the Y. W. C A. lias, I be lieve, not in the fact that there may be some doubt as to the actual merits of the proposition but in the fact that it is consciously labeled "drive" and "campaign". Curiously, this is the exact jargon used by the professional solicitors who make a business of raising funds for various enterprises, without regard to the merit of worth of the affair. It Is applied with equal force to a drive for subscribers to a newspapers, for subscribers to stock in new hotels, and In appeals for money In charitable enterprises. Whore the young ladies picked up this chatter I cannot say. Both words are relics of the war, and each has, in this instance, a military connotation. Tho word "campaign" needs no description to show the connection. "Drive" came into use during tho late war and has been used with more or less success by the professionals ever slnee. Webster gives, among others, a de finition of "drive" as "to urge on ward, bb with blows; as to 'drive' cows to pasture." Other definitions such as to "force," "to constrain," "to rush and press with violence," are noted. Organisation of teams, mass meetings, plans for tho work, the In jection of tho competltve spirit In the appeal, all of theso bespeak of a seri ous matter, one concerning which the public may have some doubts, but which muBt be "forced through" re gardless. It Is entirely possible that the American citizen, stupid as he may appear at times, still values and highly esteems his ability to make and form individual judgments. It Is entirely possible that he senses the connotations Implied in the profes sional language of tho "drivers", and) resents it. It Is entirely possible tlut much of this hard work, these extensive plans might be done away with if this feeling did not exist. The public, including the Jstudent public, has been "campaigned" and "drived" to death. The feeling of resentment probably has largely past, and in its place is found a dull, un responsive apathy. I merely suggest thnt the young la dies who are conducting the matter have made themselves a lot of un necessary work and trouble, besides possibly arousing further resentment, by being so terribly professional. If, however, they relish their profession alism, they have my congraulations on having succeeded so entirely. M. S. The University of Nebraska Official Daily Bulletin VOL. i. THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1026.

ROYAL BROWN Famous for his Short Stories in COSMOPOLITAN Tells How to Write for the Magazines i I 1 RAY LONG, Editor of Cosmopolitan, has published an . unusually interesting and helpful anthology of short stories entitled "My Story That I Like Best." At his sugges tion, six great fiction masters selected their best stories for this volume and told how they came to write them. In his foreword to this book Ray Long tells what constitutes successful writing. The success of "My Story That I Like Best" led Mr. Long to issue this year another book entitled "As I Look at Life." To this volume 14 Cosmopolitan authors have contributed intimate first person stories of deep emotional experiences. In his introduction Mr. Long tells informingly for the student -the story of his own career as writer and editor. The two books are not for sale; they can not be bought in the stores or found in public libraries; but each may be obtained with a separate year's subscription to Cosmopolitan, or both may be had with a 2-year subscription. ROYAL BROWN'S ADVICE CONCERNING these remarkable books Royal Brown writes to Ray Long: "It is perhaps only natural that the foreword to 'AS I LOOK AT LIFE should interest me most. That was equally true about the foreword of 'MY STORY THAT I LIKE BEST. "Together they give me a new answer to those who are forever asking me how td set about writing for the magazines. And that is: "Take two separate subscriptions to the Cosmopolitan. With one put in a request for 'MY STORY THAT I LIKE BEST' and with the other a request for 'AS I LOOK AT LIFE. This will cost you six dollars. You would pay at least five dollars Lr any - run-of-the-mill criticism on any single short story and know no more about what writing as a whole calls for than when you started. "For six dollars, you will get the two years of Cosmopolitan, which you cannot read without profit. You will get the two books I refer to which you can not get in any other way. "They will give you a better start for the philosophy that should be yours as a writer than anything I have ever come across in print and 1 read widely." You may obtain both of these books at a price less than the one Royal Brown suggests e . r. m.
