TO THE WORLD-HERALD
An editorial which appeared in
The Omaha World-Herald Thursday
criticises our answers to recent char
ges that The Nebraskan is a sup
pressed paper and calls our reply "a
confession of Journalistic incompet
ency." The World-Herald further goes on
to say that we don't know a good
news story when we see one and to
fear that the School of Journalism
is failing in its attempt to turn out
good journalists and the "university
daily cannot be looked to as a med
ium for developing future journal
istic leadership in this state."
As the World-Herald sees it, we
could have saved our skins by say
ing that to print the letter would
have been bad policy, but by snying
that it had no news value in our
publication was to exhibit our ig
norance. That, in short, is what the World
Herald has to say about The Daily
Nebraskan and its editors. We are
grateful to them for their belief (ex
pressed by silence) in- our statement
that the Daily Nebraskan is not sup
pressed. We feel sure that if they did
not believe us they would have said
so.
Even though they have agreed
with us on this main point, there are
a few points in which we disagree
with the World-Herald. The differ
ence between "policy", which they
say would have been defensible, and
the determination to keep certain
stories out and put certain stories in,
which they condemn, is a difference
which we cannot see. What is the
policy of a newspaper but the publi
cation of certain kinds of news and
rejection of certain other kinds?
It is unfortunate but quite true
that the news value of a story
changes with different papers and
that this change is caused by a dif
ference in news policies. If our
policy were antagonistic to the Uni
versity of Nebraska, we too would
print the letter at great length and
with large headlines over it. Since
it is our policy, on the contrary, to
support the University and its poli
cies, we still feel justified in keeping
the letter out of the paper.
CRITIQUES OF CLASSES
8ome American college newspa
pers have In the past Issued what
they called "critiques of clusses" in
which the various courses of the
University were listed and evaluated,
supposedly from the students' point
of vltiw. The Daily Nebrasksn has
never done anything of the sort and
we have been criticised more or less
severely for our refusal to do this
Our reason for nM, enduring in
this pastime which undoubtedly
would prove to bo pleasure has al
ways been that wi believed such a
critique would necessarily work n
injustice to some instructor whose
courses we criticised but whose cour
scs were considered very beneficial
by other students.
How can one student or one group
of students pretend to be qualified
to criticise the work cf all of the
instructors in an 'istitution of this
size? Any such group which would
attempt to set Itself up s a group
of little tin (rods and sny "our
course is no good" and "Vour courso
Is good" is possard with what we
mav nolitelv term an overdose of
self-confidence.
For who can ay whether a course
Is Brood or not? For one student it
may have absoluvly ro vnlue nt a'l,
it may be an utter waste of time,
and for the next it may prove to be
the best course of his University
career. Our tasf.'s are not mo same
and our interest are not the same.
The same Instrjctir mny fascinate
one person and b vo the next.
The "Inquiring Reporter" served
to furnish us with good evidtnea to
prove all this in Thursday's Nebras
kan when he asked a number of stu
dents what they considered the hiird-
est course in the University. The
difference in the answers easily
proves our contention that it is a
matter merely of personal tastes.
Some of those who answered con
sidered courses hard which we had
always considered the "biggest
nines" in school and we havs no
doubt that some of the courses we
have struggled with have been easy
for them.
So unless we can be shown that
there is an absolute necessity for
such criticism of classes, The Daily
Nebraskan will publish no critiques
of classes at least not this semester.

Equal Right
To the Editor:
In this matter of Dutch Dates,
which is at present the engrossing
topic of idle conversation on the
Nebraska campus, will you please en
lighten me on one point! In the ad
vent of Dutch Dates, would the
choice of one's companion remain
the exclusive privilege of the "dom
ineering sex" or would the girl
have equal rights in the choice of
her dates and might the man be
forced to experience an evening or
so of the utter boredom which now
occasionally befalls the girl alone
due to her dependence on man in
this regard?
In the latter case, in my opinion,
Dutch Dates would be thoroughly
justified, but not otherwise!

WHY REGISTER EARLY?
Every semester, when the time
for registering comes, the same slo
gan greets the student everywhere,
"Register early." If this is taken to
mean early in the morning there is a
good deal of truth in it, because the
student who is among the first few
in line does benefit by being prompt,
But according to the general inter
pretation the phrase means to regis
ter early in the week, instead of let
ting the metter slide along until the
last moment.
It has been our experience on this
campus that there is very little dif
ference in the amount of time spent
in waiting to see the advisor, and
then the dean of the college, whether
it is done at the first of the week or
the last day, the rooms are as full
and the machinery of registration as
cumbersome as ever.
The average student cannot help
bat notice the time spent in going
to this building and that, seeing this
person and that, only to have him
stamp his signature on the schedules
with scarcely more than a glance at
them. The only person who really
performs any service of value to the
student is the advisor and it is our
opinion that registration should be
gin and end with the seeing of the
adviser. This would at least dispense
with the needless waste of time in
waiting to have the dean of the col
lege approve the program. Why not
let the complete responsibility of the
registration rest with the advissor,
and let him send his students' sched
ules over to the office of the dean?
Another thing that is objectionable
is the confusion that seems to pre
vail over classes that are closed from
an over-large registration for the
pai-ticular instructor. No one seems
to know just what classes are open
p.nd what are already filled. In a
great many cases the student does
not know until he is ready to start to
lu'a new classes just what time they
e?me and under what instructor they

Little stories about the
Service
Having covered, in instal
ments 1 to 9, the history of tHe
Central Cafe and Manager
Harris' policy regarding clean
liness and quality of food, we
can now take up the matter of
service.
The Central is a popular
cafe, run for the convenience
and comfort of busy business
men and women who want good
food at a moderate price; who
neither bolt their food nor dally
' long at table. It does not cater
to those who wish to eat a little
and then sit for an hour or two
. smoking and conversing.
Accordingly, all the Central's
equipment and appliances are
designed to give quick and ef-
,- ficient service. And its cooks,
waiters and 'bus boys are select
ed with an eye to this sort of
service.
Mr. Harris believes in em
ploying neat, cleanly, white,
American young men as waiters
and cooks, many of them being
students working their way
through the University. They
must be patient and courteous
with customers, but not servile.
They are not forbidden to ac
cept tips, but they must not
"gold dig" for them.
