THE FRESHMAN INITIATION
To initiate freshmen into the spirit and traditions of the Cora
busker Institution, a freshmen rally has been announced for next
Thursday morning. It will be termed the freshmen initiation and
after Nebraska's first year men and women have gone through it,
they will have become an integral part of the school they have
chosen for their Alma Mater.
The freshman initiation is the revival of an Old Nebraska tra
dition. For several years the idea has remained dormant and its re
turn at the present time is characteristic of the new period which
promises to be epochal at Nebraska for the bigness of things ac
complished. Realizing that the success of a far reaching program for Nebras
ka rests upon the co-operation of its freshman classj. upperclassmen
will call upon year students to demonstrate -what they can do. The
rally will show them how, break the thin crust of restraint which
may exist at the present time and make them full fledged Corn
huskers. Coach Shulte, Captain Dobson and Professors Scott and Condra,
Nebraska's two best "pep-talkers," will address the men at the meet
ing in Memorial Hall and at the same time Nebraska women will
talk to co-eds at the Temple. Dean Buck has kindly consented to
postpone his convocation address scheduled for Thursday and both
meetings will be held at the convocation hour. They are open to
all students.
Thursday will mark the entrance of freshmen into the activi
ties of the University. The entire school looks' for big things from
them after that time.
SUBSCRIBE FOR THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
"Subscribe for the Daily Nebraskan, TODAY!" This is the
slogan which is being hurled through the air in every direction,
which permeates even the remotest corner of the campus in a call
to loyal sons and daughters of Nebraska to show some of the old
time "pep." Forty energetic girls are canvassing the students for
subscriptions today and tomorrow, leaving a "tag" with each one
who orders the paper as a mark of his interest and hearty co-operation
with the daily.
The loyal support of every Cornhusker is what makes the Uni
versity of Nebraska, and this year the stimulation to do things for
the sake of our Alma Mater is greater than it has' been for some
time. The important thing now is for every student registered in
the university to boost all worthy undertakings, to put away the
hammer and to push ahead with the rest.
The increase in the number of students causes a difficult situa
tion to arise. Advance in rates on printing and other phases' of the
publication of the daily have made it necessary to add 25 cents to the
subscription price. For the same reasons everyone must realize
that it will be an impossibility to furnish the paper free to a certain
number of students while others stand the expenses of publication.
Don't be a sponge! Show that you are a true Cornhusker and be
one of the first to be seen on the campus with a Rag tag!
Democracy on the campus, a democratic attitude toward one an
other on the part of students, is the only way to ensure success to
a state university. Sometimes pledging a fraternity or a sorority,
with its preceding rushing season whereby one may be led to con
sider oneself a very desirable person, may turn the head of a man
or woman Just a trifle. The attention showered upon one during
rushing week, together with the fact that he has "made" that frater
nity, may cause him to repard his neighbor in the classroom with a
slight feeling of superiority. The perston who does feel that way Is
headed in the wrong direction. If he does not realize it in time he
is going to be brought up with a jerk some day, perhaps several days
if he is a thick headed sort of individual.
The one who gets the most out of his university life is he who
is most keenly alive to his opportunities. That sounds trite. But to
elaborate that old saying that school is a training for life is no
where so applicable as to the university. Here are brought together
people from all over the state, even from distant states and from
foreign countries. Students must then learn to adapt themselves to
varying personalities and opinions, a most valuable trait for the per
son who is making his own way in the world. A student must de
cide, as he must in his li'a beyond school, what is to be his policy
or his' course of action. He can make of himself a leader, a person
who accomplishes things, an altruistic, public-spirited citizen, an in
dividual who seizes every chance to selfishly bring glory to himself,
or be content simply to exist as one o fthe "dumb driven cattle." By
mingling with people of dicerent modes of life, different localities and
dispositions, different thoughts and mannerisms, he may broaden and
enrich himself, selecting the best from each for his own guidance.
The student who realzes that he is one of many hundreds of men
and women gathered together for the same purpose, who remembers
the Cornhusker motto, "Equality before the law," is the student who
will prove an asset to his alma mater, and later in life, to his community.

NEW CLASSIFICATION
IN ENGLISH COURSES
In the old days when the winds
blew straight against the "IT hall
across the prairie sod, before the time
when the hlRh schools were classified,
all students who entered the univer
sity were examined to see whether
they were fit for higher learning.
Those days have .returned In a way.
lor all freshmen at the state univer
sity beginning this week, are to be
examined to see whether they belong
In the mother tongue. Formerly stu
dents mho came from the Omaha or
Lincoln high school were automatical
ly registered for rhetoric three and
all the rest entered rhetoric one. The
hated word rhetoric Is banished. The
edict reads: "All entering freshmen
will be evamlned In English composi
tion, whether they come with four,
six or eight points In English. For
the first week they will be assigned
to one of twelve divisions."
On the basis of the examination
students mill be assigned to a class
in elementary English composition,
two hours a week, two hours credit;
or to English 8, a more edvanced
class in composition with the same
credit; or in case they fail to pass
the test they m ill be assigned to a tm-o
hour class mith no credit until they
are able to enter the elementary com
position class.
English mill be handled at the uni
versity this fall under six general
heads: Composition, criticism, lan
guage, literature, Journalism and the
teaching of English. Students mill be
taught to m-rite simple, straight for
mard narrative under the head of
composition. There will be a course
in which they must lean to write a
short story. Argumentative mTHing
and debate are also included under
composition.
Under the head of criticism the
student mill be permitted to cbnsider
theories of style of the great makers
of English literature, tendencies and
contemporary efforts of writers who
are coming into prominence. Compar
ative criticism takes account of the
writings from a literary point of view
in several languages.
The young man about town had Jutfi
been accepted by "the one girl in the
world," who, nevertheless, was a mem
ber of a forty-strong beauty chorus.
"So you think you love her?" smiled
her father. "1 know I love her,"
swore the infatuated youth. "Are you
sure you love her as much as you
think you do?" "I'm sure of more
than that. I love her as much as she
thinks I do."
