Promises
And Hopes
jJUCH bilge flows thru college editorial columns
at the beginning of every school year about the
- glorious opportunities facing the current aggrega
tion of undergradutes. Such opportunities do exist,
and the words calling attention to them would be
, highly acceptable were it not for the universal
shutting of the editorial eye to the fact that few
-are the opportunities which adequately materialize,
and fewer ntJIl srs fhA etnantu ,v.A n,rnn.nWA

in the university becomes for a time a part of the
cycle of higher education. He enrolls, is for a pe
riod intimately involved with a great institution
and if his time is at all well spent leaves with
life enriched, having acquired certain aspects of the
institution of which he has been a part. Viewed
from the standpoint of the individual, his academic
years in connection with the institution take on sig
nificance they are of extreme importance. But the
longer view impels the conviction that the insti
tution, and not the various undergraduates who are
temporarily immerged in it, is ultimately the impor
tant consideration.
Every undergraduate and every conglomeration
of undergraduates is involved with specific prob
lems, but the university survives and fulfills its In
stitutional functions long after the undergraduate
problems are forgotten.
So we come, after some circumlocution, to the
present student body. The inception of the school
year finds a new assortment of disciples of the
sheepskin thrown together for a time; and they too,
like those who have gone before and those to ccme.
are about to find themselves involved with prob
lems of tremendous importance.
S the cycle begins for the parent institution, the
university, and its separable and impermanent
members, the students, so does September find a
lesser correlative institution, The Daily Nebraskan,
stirring to activity. Launched thru the various au
tumns by a succession of untried undergraduate
staffs, the Nebraskan has yet managed to survive
as an institution dedicated to the purveyance of
campus news and the flux of student opinion.
Deviations from that ideal in the past have
been rare, and it is the general objective of the
present staff, whose work readers see for the first
time today, to prolong that tradition of service to
the best of their several abilities. That the inter
ests of students will come always first is too ob
vious to bear emphasis; even when staff members
attempt to palliate enthusiasm for the rights and
privileges of the undergraduate with a broader view,
embracing the twin responsibilities to university
and state, they more often than not find their ef
forts weakened by the very circumstance of being
undergraduates themselves.
From time to time there may,, no doubt, be
departures from the general policy thus outlined
in the form of sporadic adventures into enthusiasm

for specific causes. To keep these adventures on
a more or less rational plane will be the staff's per
manent concern, realizing as it does that such
bursts as may occur would prove much more spec
tacular if their outcome were not a foregone con
clusion. Which is to say that the form of paranoia
so often afflicting student editors is In compara
tively little danger ot unseating those of the Ne
braskan staff.
Compromise and conformity are expected as
the outcome of every campaign every adventure
into enthusiasm but the editors are not too greatly
bowed down by this realization, for their endeavor
is thereby merely characterized as human, and
superhuman they do not hold themselves to be.
SI
J7VERY introductory editorial comes ultimately to
the point where the editorial ear, which has
somehow gotten into the future, can no longer
neglect the cries for specific points of policy. In
most cases it is certainly logical procedure to at
least outline the general plan for any sort of con
struction, but in the case of a newspaper's editorial
policy certain concessions must be made to un
predictable turns which may he given by the in
terpretation of news events as they happen.
The Nebraskan does have a very definite policy,
however, embracing some dozen items. The bare
list, without explanation of the standpoints to be
fostered (which will appear as the semester ages)
includes:
1. Activity tax.
2. Athletics.
3. Barb organization.
4. Chaperones.
5. Convocations.
6. Fraternities.
7. The grading and honor systems.
S. Physical education and military science.
9. Social rules and regulations.
10. Smoking rooms.
11. Student government
12. Union building.
JT will immediately be objected that such a list
contains absolutely no element of novelty. Ard
the objection will be valid. If there be those who
recall earlier days of the Nebraskan, they will ob
serve that some of the things with which the paper
proposes to concern itself are as much as fifteen
and twenty years old. Others have been sponsored
more recently.
But regardless of age, it Is felt that these is
sues are important, and that continued work toward
the objectives which they represent will be valuable
until definite results have been achieved. The list,
in short, almost represents the permanent policy of
the Daily Nebraskan carrying on, making the pa
per an organic Institution, in spite of successive
staff changes.
More detailed analysis of the specific issues
cannot be attempted at this time; besides extending
this editorial to impossible lengths such a survey
would seriously threaten the virility of future re
marks. It must be remembered, however, that any
editorial policy is an expanding and developing
thing, changing its aspect with the flux of the
news. New possibilities will' constantly present
themselves for discussion and investigation; new
problems will arise to confront perplexed editorial
writers.
For the present, however, little remains to be
said. The Nebraskan, with the distribution of this
issue, is launched for another semester. What the
semester will bring, it is hoped, will at least afford
interesting reading material thruout the fall and
early winter, and perhaps if everything goes well
a little in the way of constructive work may be
accomplished. That is as much as staff members
of any student enterprise can hope, and with that
hope the editorial inauguration of the Daily Ne
braskan stands completed.
For the Relief
Of Gripes.
IT goes without saying that the new columns of
the Nebraska are open to student enterprises and
activities, for above everything else that it may at
times claim to be, the Nebraskan is a student pa
per. But there is another department of the paper
that is devoted to more direct student expression
the Student Pulse column.
Oppn to every reader with something to say
whether it be a "gripe," a commendation, or the
mere setting forth of a passing thought this col
umn attempts to serve as a medium for the ex
pression of actual student sentiment. Contribu
tions will be subject to the ordinary restrictions of
sound newspaper practice, which exclude libelous
material and personal attacks, but in other re
spects the column is open to any point of view,
whether it coincides with Daily Nebraskan policy
or not.
Materia intended for use in the Student Pulse
department should be addressed to the editor, and
mailed or brought to the Nebraskan office.
If you have anything to say, this column provides
the opportunity to say it.

ACHING PERMIT
Truce Is Reached After
State Refuses Mary
Scott License.
Due to an impending war of
retaliation along educational
lines similar to the interstate
truck war, a truce was reached
over the case of Miss Mary Scott,
graduate of the Nebraska Univer
sity teachers college, on her quali
fications for receiving a certificate
to teach a rural school in Colo
rado. Because of the refusal of the
state superintendent of Colorado
to give Miss Scott a certificate
Deputy State Superintendent
Cushing wired "If you propose to
set up arbitrary and technical bar
riers against Nebraska teachers,
we have an abundance of technical
provisions in our laws whereby we
con refuse certificates to Colorado
teachers."
However, when Mrs. Lucy C.
Auld, deputy superintendent of in
structions, was informed of Cush
ing's telegram she said "There are
no arbitrary stipulations being en
forced in Colorado. We have cer
tain laws concerning the certifica
tion of teachers and any person
who can qualify under the Colo
rado laws will receive a certificate.
The state in which they received
their training makes no difference
to us. Our state law provides that
persons must have six hours of
practice teaching or three years
teaching experience before they
con qualify for a certificate and
Miss Scott had neither.
"The law is definite and we re
fuse numerous certificates on thic
ground."
Barter Enables Many
To Attend Curtis Aa;
Barter, or perhaps inflation, en
abled the Nebraska School of Ag
riculture, at Curtis, to smash all
attendance records this fall by a
40 percent margin. Among the
items received in exchange for tui
tion board and room were Corn,
barley, oats and cattle. One stu
dent parted with a pony.
The twentieth year began Sept. 4
with D. K. Douthlt as the new su
perintendent. The freshman class
shows the 40 percent gain while
the girls' dormitory, only half
filled last year, has seventy stu
dents and teachers enrolled for
room.i and meals.
The school at Curtis is a part
of the University of Nebraska. The
farm has been extended until it in
cludes more than 320 acres. Super
intendent Douthit wanted to stock
this farm so he announced that
lack ol ready cash need not keep
students at home tnis iau.

Miss HeoDner Urges Girls
To Have Conferences
At Early Date.
Miss Amanda Heppner, dean of
women, welcomes all new students
to the university and urges them
to come to her office at the earliest
possible date for conferences. In
explaining this request she points
out that often times complications
in schedules can be avoided if stu
dents understand their require
ments.
Women students are welcome to
Ellen Smith hall any time. They
may use the rooms for lounging
or study any hours the building is
open. This hall is the center of all
activities so far as women are con
cerned. Dean Heppner points out.
She urges students to attend the
parties and teas which organiza
tions are giving in honor of new
students.
Miss Piper Directs Housing.
Miss Elsie Ford Piper whose of
fice is also in Ellen Smith has
charge of housing women. She has
regular office hours in which she
advises students as to correct
lodging. The list of approved
rooms is now prepared, according
to Miss Piper.
Mrs. Ada Westover is helping
women locate suitable employ
ment. In connection with this it is
important that students working
four hours a day should not regis
