Circulation Manager "' Circulation Manager TOO MANY NOTICES The first quarter of the fall semester is over, and with it thirteen hundred letters have been mailed from Dean T. J. Thompson's office to parents of students who have been reported incomplete, conditioned, or failed in one or more subjects. In view of the strict scholarship rulings of the University, the total w un usually large. It indicates that out of a University pop ulation, numbering approximately six thousand stu dents, a high percentage has been reported unsatisfac tory in some of their hours. Freshmen especially are prone to indulge in over anxiety in regard to the interpretation of first quarter notices. The Dean's letter clearly indicates that such reports are mainly but a slight indication of the stu dent's trouble, and that even though a student may receive a condition at the end of the first quarter, it is entirely possible that he may discover and solve his difficulty and make a most creditable record by mid semester. Late, or faulty adjustment is often a major stumbling block, scholastically', for first-year students. It is a natural result of new surroundings, new sub jects, strange methods of study, and new faces. New students usually go through this period. Such cases are not an indication that the student is failing; there is every chance that such students can, by immediate conference with their instructors, smooth out the tan gles and proceed to apply themselves in a more meth odical manner to the subject matter. Many instructors do not send out first quarter reports, because they do not believe there is sufficient evidence in fo-r weeks' work to warrant such action. These reports are, however, good indicators of which way the sail is set. Students who have been turned in should analyze their study plans carefully, and try earnestly to reach the root of the difficulty. If outside activities are sapping the energies of the stu dent, he should curtail his part in them; if his prepar ation is inadequate, he should buckle down and do some real hard work. And it must be added that an over fondness for amusement and a delicate relish for study have been the reasons for many of, the notices. The University feels that the parents have a right to know the progress or difficulty of their sons and daughters in school. More often a parent's advice does more good in influencing the student than intervention by school authorities. First quarter notices are warnings. They are com paratively unimportant now, but of sufficient import, if neglected, as to materialize into a grave mid-semester or third quarter report, which may mean a failure. Students who have received notices still have a chance to get a firm grasp on their courses, and come through successfully by mid term. Just what the withdrawal of certain fraternities from three underclass men's honorary organizations has to do with politics or common sense is not yet evi dent. If their purpose ia sincere they are to be con gratulated upon their open attitude. If more campus politics is to be the result it will only reflect upon those concerned. COSMOPOLITAN? Among all the organizations on this campus there is at least one that is active. It is so active that it has been unable to contain its activity within itself. The Cosmopolitan Club is somewhat troubled with internal dissension. Which in itself is no cause for anxiety. The dissension is proof that the organization is not dead. An organization such as the Cosmopolitan Club no doubt meets with some delicate questions. That there has been little or no dissension is evidence that the members are high minded persons. There ia no doubt that the present trouble will be disposed of in a manner commensurate with the quality of the stud ents in the club. Since various groups have presented their side of the question in the columns of The Daily Nebraskan we are presenting it from a dispassionate point of view as it appears in the nature of a campus problem. The affair was precipitated when three negro stu dents were refused membership through the negative vote of a group who held control. The Cosmopolitan Club is an organization to which any foreign student of the University is eligible for membership. Its pur pose is the promotion of friendship between the races represented on this campus and an aid in their intel lectual stimulation. There is no ulterior motive behind the club. Its objective is quite worthy enough. It has been pointed that the above action was a direct violation of the constitution of the club. A cer tain group in the club objected to this unconstitutional act and in turn proposed a bill of reform which would make a repetition of the trouble impossible, and in a measure recreate the original purpose of the club. Five proposals were submitted to be acted upon. Immediate action was impossible under the rules of the club. The members backing these measures misconstrued the neg ative vote given their proposals, withdrew from the club and submitted their position to the public through this paper. We feel that their withdrawal of membership can do no good, nor achieve anything worthy. Their pres ence in the club, using their influence for the further ing the organization ideals and purposes, would be much more potent, than their criticism from the out side. The president has declared the organization anxious to achieve some of the very points proposed by the withdrawing members. The original criticism of the club, keeping eligible students from membership, is justified. But a single overt act must not lead to the disruption of an organi zation with so much to accomplish. It seems that the various groups hi the club have the same end in view. Common sense and cooperation will bring achievement. It would be a sad commentary if the Cosmopolitan Club could not further the work it has undertaken.

A limit of six hundred words has been placed on all contributions. To the Editor: In "The Spectator" column of The Daily Nebras kan there have appeared several poems or bits of verse from the Incomprehensibilia. The Incomprehensibilia was compiled by two University of Nebraska students who are alleged to be of the literati. "The Spectator" has deemed it a pleasure in presenting to the campus readers, so far, two bits of "beautiful imagery", as he (or she) terms it, entitled "Aboriginal Study" and "Lost Passion." Before reading those two bit sof verse I had con ceived of poetry as something, which, besides produc ing pleasant feelings and phaatasmagorical images, necessarily conveyed an idea of some sort. Poetry should inspire and entertain one; it should be gently philosophical and help, one to live Letter in this world which is so beset with sin, sordidness, and morbidity. Poetry is mainly an affair of genius, and people have to learn how to love and enjoy poetry, but after reading this "stuff" the taste for reading poetry is lost. Such strange perversions and so tortured a perception of the beauty and ugliness of this world makes us vic tims of unutterable weariness. Puzzling and intriguing verses have been written and read by people before, to be sure; but it is a waste of time. Enigmatic Vachel Lindsay, Browning and others, wrapt in visions far above and beyond the com prehension of ordinary mortals, must have toiled and toiled to weave their strange fancies, to make them partially or wholly unintelligible. All this brings us back to the macabre visions of the authors of the Incomprehensibila, whose writings must have been contributed by hashish and opiated minds. Of Bohemia they may be, but their drivel is foolish. This purported poetry is not only incomprehen sible and nonsensical, but injurious to the mind and ' enfeebling to the emotional part of our natures. It savors of nothing good and is tinted with all "off colors." Prejudice does not sway us. We are as unbiased as the day is long. Though heartily in favor of a liberal education, which is supposed to include the reach and sweep of the peaks of poesy, we still contend that poetry should be purposeful and convey meaningful ideas.

Some method will be devised by which stu dent loans can be obtained for those who are working their way through and find it difficult to pay expenses on account of the increase. This will be a new development here, as fees have been so low that they were an almost negligible part of the student's expense. There have been ways of obtaining loans toward an education, but the university authorities have never linked up with any definite system, for the reason stated above.

Kiener Gives Talk on Life in Swiss Alps (Continued from Page 1) simile might be drawn from the crumbling mountain peaks and the small churches," said the speaker. The churches are symbols of growth, the mountains symbols of decay. The chapel, Notre Dame of the Snows is very impressive. The ma jority of the Swiss people are Cath-; olic, and in the Alps they have prac ticed their faith since 1100. Crosses dot thei highest peaks here and there, and the priests often hold services on the mountain slopes. The majority of the Swiss people are of a thrifty, spiritual disposition, and their ideal government is an example of perfection. ENGINEERS OBSERVE MANAGEMENT WEEK (Continued from Page 1) Times states concerning the agricul tural engineers; that this is an asso ciation which for the fint time fi gures among those giving advice to President Coolidge. These men deal with the i arm problem as if it were an ordinary business one. Their visit to the president, it may be hoped, marks the beginning ef saner and sounder discussion of the whole farm question. At the meeting, after the report had been given, a half hour was de voted to questions and discussion on the topic "Management's Part in Maintaining Prosperity." Th activities of management week opened yesterlay in 115 cities in the United States with discussions on the topic mentioned above. The organizations sponsoring manage ment week and represented on the national committee are: The Ameri can Society of American Engineers, Society of Industrial Engineers, the Taylor Society, the American Man agement association, the American Institute of Accountants, the Na tional Association of Office man agers, mid the National Association of Purchasing agents.

What Goes Home To Parents or Guardians: The enclosed card indicates that your son or daughter has not entirely satisfied his instructors in the courses listed. This early in the semester it is difficult for the instructors, except in a few cases, to determine what is responsible for the student's troubles. At the mid semester, which occurs about November 15, it should be possible for the instructors in most cases to give considerable information regarding the student's dif ficulties. Many students who are reported as unsatisfactory in scholarship at the first quarter, and even at the mid semester are able to make up their difficulties; and make a most creditable record. This, of course, often depends upon the student's general ability, his outside activities, previous preparation, etc.; but most often upon his desire to make the most of his ormort.unirv The University is very anxious that each student give a good account of himself scholastically and in every oiner way. ineretore, we will appreciate anv en couragement and direction you may be able to give jruui buii ur uaugnier.

This year we asked for a ten per cent increase, which would bring the total up to 1 3,850,000, but the legislature failed to provide it. We felt that this was necessary because Morrill hall, the have been so low that they were an Stat Hospital in Omaha have been bui't, and all these erpansiorf de mand more maintenance. Most peo ple do rot realize the number of per sons required to keep up a building expense. There have been ways of of a hoppital is enormous. The size of the Omaha hoopital was doubled by the new development, and $185,- 000 to $200,090 annually is required for its upkeep. Besides the further .development of the building program, the number of students has increased about 300 over last year's enrollment, and it is likely that this number will be doubled before the year is over. These students require more instruc tors and in other ways add to the to tal maintenance expense. Mr. Gunderson made it plain that the increase would not be so large as to exclude anyone from register ing in the university. Generally speaking, he estimated that fees might be increased thirty per cent of the present amount. Fmi Cover Small Part of Coat The fees now charged make up a very SMull amount of the eout tt tLe student's education. In fact the amount now paid in fees bv each tn. dent covers only 10 per cent of the amount spent in educating him. The matriculation fee must, according to statute, be spent in providing books for the libraries. Thus each student pays only about $35 a school year maintaining the school If he were paying what it actually costs the state to educate him, his fees would be $350 or more a year instead of this small amount. Mr Gunderson stated that it took the iees or approximately 100 students to pay the salary of one instructor. The new increase will by no means cover the total deficit, but will help to defray the expenses., Mr. Gunderson said that the same committee which is to work on the pro&jcm i,l incresse in fees will rasl a study of methods to take care of (Continued from Page 1) team, George E.
