scheme to remedy what is the matter with the Arts
College.
The editor of the 1927 Cornhusker and the Pres
ident of the Student Council last year called at The
Daily Nebraskan offices yesterday and left a very
cheerful message.
We will pass it on to the hard-working memberu
of the senior class, who, perhaps need a little sympathy.
"When you graduate and get a job," declared these
alumni, "you will find it much easier than going to
school." Perhaps the "cold, cold" world we read about
is the University; and the college course, which parents
call a "four-year-loaf" is not so easy after all.
THE
SPECTATOR
NEW WORDS, BUT AN OLD APPEAL
"Men and brethren! let us have a railMad to the
Pacific to have it soon. It will add more to the
strength and wealth of our country. It will prove a
bond of Union not easily broken, and a new spring to
our national industry and wealth."
Thus, in 1859, came an appeal from the soul of
a great man with a greater vision, as he bumped his
way slowly and tediously across a vasv CAFa..sc
wasteland, at the time, a barrier between the Missouri,
and the Pacific. But through the oust ana me grim
of the desert he saw in this wasteland a productive
West, and opportunity waiting with open arms. It was
this vision that led Horace Greeley to add to his state
ment, an appeal to the youth of the land, these words:
"Go West, young man, go West,"
a
Here was an appeal to the pioneer spirit, so prev
alent at the time. It was an inspiration to youth to
brave and conquer the wilderness, once it was open to
them. What young man did not thrill at the thought
of this great adventure?
The pioneer spirit of our nation is far from dead.
When Lindbergh was winging his way across the rest
less waters beneath his tortured plane, did he not also
visualize the opportunities for the youth of the land,
that the success of his undertaking would symbolize?
Who, then, can say that the day of pioneering is
gone? This is an age of opportunity. Nation-wide in
rlnofnV have been calline voune men and youne wom
en for years, to come and pioneer within their vast
territories, just as the wastelands of our bow flower
ing West, called to the pioneers of yesterday.
Tha nwKt fipM haa hfpn iriven birth bv Lind
bergh's memorable flight, which set the igniting spark
to arouse a nation-wide name 01 interest in aviation.
The possibilities of transportation by air have been
visualized by our modern economists and thir.kers, so
that there can be no doubt of the opportunities which
will be thrown open to the younger generation, by the
future gradual development of aviation.
Once more we have an appeal to the pioneering
spirit of the youth of the nation, and opportunity again
waiting with open arms, even as in the day of Horace
Greeley.
Now that this paper has t defended the student
body for its poor showing when the Cornhuskers came
home last Sunday, will the students turn out for the
rally tonight, or stay home and" make this paper out a
liar?
AN ARTS COLLEGE "CURE-ALL"
Those of the older generation will remember that
for the past few years student committees, self-appointed,
have been endeavoring to discover what is the
matter with the Arts College, although the campus as
a whole has not been particularly interested. Ambi
tious groups on other campuses have been modestly
attempting the same sort of thing. At this point comes
a vague remembrance of the comment that the doctor
who attempts to cure himself generally finds that he
has a fool for a patient.
According to a recent report, the faculty have
taken the responsibility upon themselves, and in the
iuture all ambitious students may devote their atten
tion to getting a Bachelor of Arts With Distinction.
Certainly it will take both time and attention to fulfill
the requirements; it is quite evident that With Dis
tinction's will not be given away in great quantities.
As for the requirements, they seem, on the whole,
to be reasonable but difficult. Those who do not enjoy
the hours spent in laboratories might complain of the
heavy science requirements. But on the other hand,
there are those who "just hate languages". As a matter
of fact, not much can be said about the plan until it
has been under way for several years; then we can
call meetings to discuss what is the matter with the
It is a matter of considerable Gratification to me
that there have come to my Office so many Contribu
tions to the Incomprehenaibilia that I have deemed it
worth while to devote all xt my precious Space today
to Poetry. When I considered this question it occurred
to me that there is not enough Space given to Poetry
on this campus, and I bethought me that anything I
could do in this Regard would be for the sake of a
Good Cause. And I am certain that all my Readers will
welcome a dissertation on the Subject of Verse, for
they are persons intellectually Ambitious, else they
could not compel themselves to read this Column each
time it is printed.
As I say, there is not enough Space or Time given
to Poetry, in my Estimation, with the Exception of
that which is bartered in the Bulk at the Rate of $1
per Credit Hour in the English courses dealing with
the Subject. The Prairie Schooner, to be sure, is the
only Vehicle for Verse on this Campus, now that the
absence of Mr. Rice has resulted in the Discontinuance
of the annual Poetry contests, and therefore I can not
but conceive it my Duty to print all the acceptable
Matter that comes to my Hand.
To begin with, I shall print a Specimen of the
Verse that is not acceptable, chiefly because it takes
itself too seriously and makes too grave an attempt
at Intelligibility. The prospective Contributor to this
Column must remember that I am printing the Incom
prehenaibilia, not a representation of Nebraska verse
in the serious Sense. This, then, is the Contribution
which arrived yesterday:
Happy little Co-Ed

She breezes out the bunk.
But those darlin' little credits
Oh! how they hare

The principal Fault in this Gem is that it shows the
Influence of too many Poets, and that is a Drawback.
I believe I do not err in pointing out in the above
Piece the influence of James Whitcomb Riley, Edgar
Guest, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and perhaps E. E.
Cummings.
Moreover, the Verses above have no rhythm, al
though perhaps Rime may be alleged. Now here is a
Piece with rhythm in it like the Sway of a Varsity Hop
dancing-partner:

This is a Poem to warm a man's heart, for here we
have moving, swaying Rhythm, the ever-changing and
fascinating Pictures one sees on the Street, in addition
to a well-hidden Meaning which it would be Folly for
me to explain, since I would but deprive the Reader
of the Pleasure of hunting it out for himself.
Another Poem after the same manner, and which
is ' equally well-conceived and beautifully set Down
should have more Interest for students on the Campus,
since its Subject is familiar to All.

Here there is none of your ancient Traditions, none of
the binding Restriction. which follow in the Wake of.
Rime and Meter. Our poets of Today are, thank Hea
ven, wise enough to perceive, that if they put their
Sublimities into Rime and Meter they will but imitate'
those old dead Poets who wrote in other Centuries. 1
Our Poets have discovered, too, that it is not so Diffi-';
cult to write in free verse as in not-free verse, and '
Since the Twentieth Century is a lazy one there is but;
one Course left open to the Poets.
In conclusion I append the best Poem of the Day,
which in the accepted manner I have reserved for the!
Last in order to create a final smashing Effect In re
gard to this I might mention that J intend to print a
Number of poems written upon the same Subject,
namely, "Futility," because I have observed that there
are in Existence at this time probably Five Thousand
pieces under that Title, and indeed, I have reflected,
tbo Subject is a good one in that it is broad enough to
accommodate any Thought, so why not?
