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.

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.

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

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-
