THE NEBRASKAN POLICY The policy of the new staff of The Daily Nebraskan i:i be gov erned by the same belief that has controlled the paper in the pait year that the Nebraska spirit, Nebraska students, and Nebraska faculty stand all of the time for worth while things, and that a help ful optimism will do far more good than caustic criticism of every thing and everybody. Wielding the bloody axe is an easy way to attract attention, but The Nebraskan believes it can be of more service to the University by encouraging to the bet of its ability, toe good that is so evident to all. The Nebraskan wants to be constructive rather fnan destructive. It wants to build up, rather than tear down. It will, however, stand for the things that are honest and square, and will not hesitate to stand against the things that are petty and mean. NON COMPOS MENTIS Our Daily Thought It's a wise woman who lives on the library steps. j That Order of Golden Fleece" ! ought to be reddy for most anything i what? Maybe Marie will be Meeker now since that 'five and costs" for speeding. POLICE PROTECTION NEEDED During the month of January two attacks were attempted u;on women within a few blocks of the University. No harm was done in either case, but the fact that these thing? are taking place in a neighborhood where the great majority of the University girls live, calls for more adequate protection from the Lincoln police. Since women students of the University are forced to go back and forth to the Library, or to evening classes and University func tions, aimott daily, every prectuion should be taken to make it as safe as possible for them to do so. Since the two attacks last month, some of the University girls have been forced to stay at home through fear, when they had important tisir.gs to do on the campus. A policeman who could devote most of hi3 time from 8 to 11 o'clock In the streets Just east of the campus would be sufficient trotection. The only grounds on which The Daily Nebraskan asks for student subscriptions is that the paper is worth more than the subscription price to everyone. Think it over. Keep alive those good second semester resolutions for this first wek, and you won't want to drop them next week. Get acquainted with the work against the University that Repre sentative Taylor of Custer Is trying to do, and let the home folks know about it. It is Rumored That the Registrar was so Worried At the Low Numbers registering for the Second semester That He Seriously Considered Painting A Sign asking for Students to Register at this University And putting Said Sign South Of the Hopes the S's aren't used up)- Scenic site of this Beautiful campus At tee gate of the fence With the Hope That some Unsuspecting And Innocept aspiring Scholar Would be lured Into the Wicked Walls Of this Criminal makir? school. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS Fewer Religious Reprieve.

New Cadet Instructor. Sergeant Daniel H.

Sergeant Sullivan was a member of the 30th L. S. infantry, stationed at Eagle Pass. Texas, before coming here. istic desire to serve their day and gen eration. It would be difficult to se cure men of this type for a salaried position." x "The expense of maintaining a com mon board is likely to be great." he continued.

DEAN CUTTER WRITES OF OF THE NEEDS OF THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE (This article, explaining the present fields of the colleeg of medicine of the University of Nebraska, at Omaha, Is reprinted from the January 1 imu. of The Pulse, the student paper of the medical college.)

CUTTER. cipitate a constant warfare between the friends of the normal schools and the friends of the University hi each congressional district. It is readily apparent that should the measure be come a law, each election would be a fight for control, and now one school and then another would have the upper hand. This is an end desired neither by the normals nor the Uni versity. That no greater harm could come to the University than to remove from off.ee men of the calibre of the pres ent board of regents, who could not be expected to run for the place against the cheap politicians who would surely try for the plum, is alo generally recognized. Broad minded men of the calibre of Dr. Hall. J. E. Miller, K. P. Brown and the other members of the present board, would be replaced by salary hunters, whose niost conspicuous claim to re-election would be the amount of revenue they could 'nt off from the educational up lift of the state. The election of suh men by dis tricts, it is pointed out. would mean the election of men pledge to do all they could for the particular normal school in their district, and ot neces sity, all they could do again,! the oth er non..al scHools and the I'niversity.

University Presidents Against Plan A paper read by Chancellor Avery b?fore the National Association of State Universities at Berkeley, Cal,, August 31, 1915, on this very question, points out that of twenty-seven state university presidents, only three en dorsed a common board, and the rna Jerity of sentiment was overwhelm ingly against it. The chancellor iald then: "The sep arate board Is more likely to be com posed of prominent citizens and alum ni who work for the Institution out of love for Ihe cause, from a sense of obligation to their alma mater or a feelinx of friendliness for the fine uni versity community with which they associate, and finally, from an altru- d fro mil Arte (ft He is selling all . supplies like Cover and Paper at a price that will interest you.
