The work is in a large moasurt a rt
print of papers that have conic l'.'oln
tlii pen of Professor Found recently
attracting wide attention from En
lish scholars in this country ami in
Kurope. Doctor Pound has been suc
cessful in attacking the prevailing
theory of scholars in regard to t'n
origins of poetry and especially of t lit
ballad.
The theory which the late Prole '
sor C.uiuriere set forth with suo.
treat skill, ami which is now licit! b;
Professors Kittrodge and other schol
ars, is based on the belief that th
orium of poetry is the communa'
d.iiiie. Doctor Pound shows thai
poetry and song are not necessarily
connected with dancing, that the in
dividual aitist appears among primi
tive people even in connection with
conmion ft stivnls, tint the pot'
'omposed by a crowd never rea1i
gets anywhere without individual ai
tistry, and that the English a.ii
Scotch ballads in most cases iwi
were the products of the dame ant
offer no suppoit to the pi neral the
ory, for they were distinctly works e,

THE KISS
Little drops of water, little grains of

Help to make the mighty ocean and
the pleasant land.
Little bits Of pory, little personal

Help to make our college paper rind

left behind trie following romantic
piece of word rhyming. This, no
doubt, was his first attempt at writ
ing poetry, which usually comes with
the flutter of cupid's wings in the
distance.
Will the rompo-er please give us
his name that we may encourage him
to write more of his experience?,
similar to the following?
A Flight of Poetic Fancy Inspired by
a Stray Kiss.
There's the kiss when we meet,
There's the kiss that is Fwret.
There's the kiss that is oft a surprise,
There's the kiss you desire
When it's hard to acquire
When you read a stern "NO" in her
eyes.
There's the kiss on her trow.
On the lips too, I vow,
There's the kiss that you win on a
betr
But your kiss on the cheek
Received at the dance last week
Is the kiss I shall never forget.

Looked as black as anything,
But is he came up the way
I began to sing.
Songs and trills (hat thrilled with
glee;
Songs of joy anil peace and dawi',
Then I peeped out warily,
Mr. Care had gone.
Student Opinion
To the Editor of the Daily Ne
braskan: Are the students ofvthe University
back-sliders? Why don't they live up
lo agreements to which they em
powered delegates to affix their signa
tures? A few weeks ago members of or--i
nii-.'itions agreed to boycott certain
amusemi nt places ice cream parlors,
etc. and then they signed an agree
ment to that effect. They have
broken 1 hist resolution. I speak in
pal n'ciilar of attending the Posewilde
.lance hall. As I understand it the
orchestra receives more than the
.-1 : l i i u n l prescribed by the schedule
of pi ices adopted by the students.

eeiy organization in school attend

ing this rule are very much In the
minority.
If we do not intend to live up to
this resolution we should remove our
names from it.
As I understand it, the enforcing of
this agreement is left entirely with
the organizations, and the school au
thoriiies hao no jurisdiction in this
matter.
Let us either enforce this agree
ment or remove our names from it.
Why not be square with ourselves on
the matter? Don't be quitters.

To the Editor of the Daily Nebras
kan:
There are few w ho deny the bene
fits of the single tax system. Hut, if
inaugurated, on what basis would lr
be bandied? Would each student be
cien a pass to all games, etc., or
would the pates bo thrown open? The
latter is hardly practical, as is oh
t ions. If the Fnivorsity Players
tickets were included, only one -third
of the students could be seated in the
three nights of playing. Not over .''
half could get in the Coliseum, and
the present football field ,'imld not
bold nearly nil of our students not
ei :i allowing room for visitors.
Hence I believe the plan to be im
practical in its fullest application.

there would be enough who would, op
tiiinally purchase these celluloids to
make the system a success. Tills re
lieves those who cannot really afford
to buy tickets to games which tlieli
workinc hours do not permit them to
attend even though they have tickets
Additional subscriptions and tickets
could lie handled at the different of
fices without drives.
In practice, if a ommitteo should
at her estimates from the various ar
ihity heads getting their romisc ot
co-operation, the plan could be in an
curated with a very small amount of
work and trouble, the celluloids being

To the Editor of the Daily No
braskan :
It would seem from the studonj,
opinion appearing In the Daily No
braskan Wednesday, that the students
who are working their way through
the Fniversity do not support the
student activities. That is, that they
do not attend the athletic contests
because they are too busy earning
their money for expenses. I have
earned during three school years
enough to pay my entire expenses
and include in those expenses has
been an average of JS.OO per semester
for items that would be covered by
the Single Tax.

To tlie Editor of the Daily Xc
braskan:
la reply to Student Opinion of y,.s
terday, I wish to say that a small
tax of a few dollars entitling the siu
dent to attend different school ac
tivities will be no great burden to
anyone nor will it be a dcridlm;
factor in the scIkto' a.e'vr of anyone
Every student who attends i!e Pnj.
versily should take on the true r,,, n
hunker spirit. The true spirit ina!;et
one so he Is not only willing to sup
pott the activities of the school, bat
anxious to do so even at some per
sonal sacrifice. Without this spirit,
nne cannot be a Cornhusker.
I am not speaking from the stanil
point of one who has his wav
but rather from the standpoint of n
self-supporting student. This is my
third year on this basis and I know
what the "struggle" for education
