Daily Nebraskai! Reporter
Baok in the middle of last week,
most of the freshmen got their
first bitter taste of that old N.U.
tradition, down slips.
Few escaped, for, according to
Assistant Dean L. F. Fowles, ap
proximately two thirds of the Jun
ior Division stjdents got downs.
A survey of some of the fresh
men showed that most think the
down slip system is a good one,
but only, of coure, when some
one else gets the down. Opinions
ranged from firm resentment to
"it served me right." 'As one stu
dent said, "I like the system, but
then, on the other hand, I don't
like it."
One disgruntled 'freshman put
his argument this way: "It (the
down) builds a little fire under
your folks. It builds a little fire
under you. If you're in a frater
nity or sorority, it builds a little
fire under the active chapter.
Pretty soon you've got a great
big fire."
Along the same line of thinking
was the comment: "My down got
me all rattled, and the fraternity
got road and campused mt."
One freshman, the not so proud
possessor of six hours of downs
added that the "system is a good
deal. It tells a fellow that it's
time to get in there and start
ingratiating."
Other comments, favorable to
the down slip system, were:
"It tells a fellow what's coming
off. "It let me know that it's not
duck soup here at the U, and
downs let you know what to get
to work in."
A few expressed the opinion that
downs are unnecessary. They said
that they knew what subjects they
were down in.
Apparently the worst is yet to
come (heaven help us), for, ac
cording t Assistant Dean Fowles,
the number of downs given at
mid-term will be an increase of
approximately 400 over the num
ber given in the first scholastic
report.
Mid-term, accompanied by the
usual quota of weepingf wailing,
and gnashing of teeth, will be the
fun and work that it always has
been .And yet there will be a no
ticeable air of expectation on
campus as students wait for the
coming of vacation and for the
coming of the inevitable downs.

dents the advantages and disad
vantages of each particular job,
according to Dr. William Hall,
head of the school of journalism.
Among the speakers will be

Nebraska's Turkish program will
take another step forward next
fall when A 1 1 a t u r k University
opens its doors to students.
Dr. M. L. Baker, assistant Dean
of the Ag College, said construc
tion of Attaturk University is ex
pected to be completed by next
fall.
Dr. Baker returned here this
summer after 2 years in Turkey.
He spent most of his time formu
lating plans, setting up faculty re
quirements and solving building
needs of the new university.
The charter for the University
has been set up, Dr. Baker said,
and a 10,000 acre site near
Erzerum has been selected.
The University will include col
leges of engineering, agriculture,
letters and science, and the Uni
versity will serve the eastern part
of Turkey, Dr. Baker said.
Dr. T. H. Goodding also returned
this summer after spending 2 years
in Turkey. He served as specialist
in plant ecology at the University
of Ankara, and also ;was on the
National Seed Advisory Commit
tee. Dr. Goodding said more than
1600 student applications were re
ceived the first year he was in
Ankara, and that in the second
year over 2000 students applied
for entrance. The University of
Ankara, however, only has facili
ties to accept 200 new students
each year.
Dr. Baker had to use an interp
reter in all his class lectures. The
interpreter would take down all
the notes before the class period
started. Then, when Dr. Baker
j would present the lecture, the in
i terpreter would write it on the
blackboard in Turkish:
