reporters.
If the paper were entirely repre
sentative of the student body, each
individual would be a subscriber of the
Nebraskan and try to create college
spirit. As it Is many do not fake the
paper and even do not thoroughly read
it when they have the opportunity
If this were true the paper would not
serve to such a great extents as a Bui
letin Board.
FOR MORE SPDJIT
The University of Nebraska is not the only school that is work
ing for more spirit among its students for the University of AViscon
sin rooters are meeting on Randall Field every day this week for
their "pep sessions" in order to have a powerful "Legion of Loyal
Rooters" to aid their football squad at Urbana when they meet
Illinois next Saturday.
It is only when we read the papers of the other schools that we
realize that they also must exert themselves in every possible way
in order to properly prepare for their opponents. Nebraska is able
to develop as sincere a group of rooters as is any school in the
country but its students are beginning to believe that all they are
required to do is, "leave it to the team," which may some day prove
to be false reasoning. The team needs our support and whenever
a rally is called, be one of the many to respond be a part of the
unit, the student body, to work for the glory of old Nebraska. "Were
you on the athletic field during the open air rally? If not, why?
Have you noticed that a little authority seems to get the best
of some of the embryo librarians?
THOSE ERRORS
Of course the articles on the "Special Train to Lawrence" and
the "Plans for the Junior Play" in yesterday's paper were not
properly set up and any reader who is at all able to use mental
gymnastics knows how the error occurred.
FORUM
The one entrusted with the task of
seeing that the columns of the Daily
Nebraskan are filled every day with
some sort of reading matter, feels
that he made one of the richest finds
in history vhen he discovered a
bunch of Rhetoric V. themes on the
subject, "Does the Daily Nebraskan
Reflect Student Opinion?" These
themes will be published as corrected
by the theme readerand will be se
lected from those "agin" as well as
those complimentary to the Nebras
kan. It is refreshing to hear first hand
just what people think of the efforts
put forth on the student daily and
in publishing the theme below, the
Nebraskan can't be accused of throw
ing a bouquet at Itself, to say the
least
The following effusion is from the
active mind of a sophomore girl, writ
ten in the winter of 1914:
Is the Nebraskan Representative of the
Student Opinion?
I believe the Daily Nebraskan is
representative of student opinion to
some extent. For in reading over the
items it is found that subjects are
discussed and commented on which
the organizations of the University
have taken up. The Girls' club,
societies and University girls, has dif
which is represented by all the girls'
ferent meetings in which to discuss
the plans and work for the benefit of
.the grls. Oftentimes all the pirls can
not go to these meetings and some
girl writes up the important events
of the meetings and they are pub-
ished in the Nebraskan. In this way,
the girls find out what has been done
and by it being published in the Uni
versity paper, the girls wish to do
more things in order to be represent
ed in the Nebraskan. The same can
be said of the organizations of the
boys as well as of the girls.
But there are many things publish
ed in the Nebraskan which are not
representative of the student body.
This is true of material concerning
debatps, athletics and Ideas concern
ing campus "dope." Many students are
not interested in these individual ex
periences and do not express their
opinions upon them nor even take time
to read them. It seems in many cases
that the paper represents the editors.
They publish articles which are of in
terest to themselves and think they
will influence the student public to
look upon them in the same light as
they do. The editors publish remarks
and ideas of different members of the
faculty, yet this does not indicate the
Nebraskan is representative of the
faculty. The way the faculty items
often appear In the paper is by some
student telling the reporter of ques
tions discussel in the class room and
these articles then appear in the pa
per. One might infer that the Nebraskan
is representative of the student body
because different students are report
ers for the paper. But here each one
has a line of work to "cover,'' and
only the most prominent society notes
are gathered for publication. These
reports are handed into the Nebras
kan office and the editors use their
own discretion about publishing them.
Remembered His Old Professor
Prof. Laurence Fossler had a beautl
ful surprise a day or two since, In
the shape of a nice big box of delicious
apples such as one reads about from
Everett. Wash. The sender withheld
his name, but as the professor knows
of only one man capable of doing such
a thing at Everett he more than sus
pects his one-time student, Mr. John
B. Fogarty, of the class of '91, to be
the guilty party. That the apples
were delicious and fragrant enough
to fill our "sanctum," the staff of the
Nebraskan is in a splendid position
to testify.
