A Questioner
Answered.
QUESTIONING the policy of the Daily Nebraskan
in reference to the athletic ticket sale, C H. pre
sents in the Student Pulse column a fair and courte
ous look at the function of the newspaper, specific
ally the Nebraskan, in its relation to the reading
public, the student body. It isn't often that contri
butors to the, column express themselves so
thoughtfully and manage to restrain flaming emo
tions so well, and the Nebraskan is glad to recognize
the argument C. H. presents as having validity
enough to deserve serious consideration,
The charges the contributor brings center around
the opinion that the Nebraskan, in sponsoring the
athletic ticket sales being carried on by a specific
group the Tassels is stepping outside its legiti
mate sphere. The province of a newspaper, he says
very correctly, "is on the public's side, not on the
side of any group, any organization, any part of the
public."
So far, the points are well-taken and valid. It is
only when the principle is misapplied that error
creeps in, and C. H. reveals his conviction in these
words: "When the Daily Nebraskan attempts to
champion the interests of the Tassels, or the ath
letic deparment, or both, it has stepped out of its
place." The opinions the Nebraskan has expressed
in support of the ticket campaign, in short, are all
right for personal views, but, in the estimation of
the correspondent, they have n place in a news
paper. But are the views personal views ? Describing the
situation, C H. himself declares that the editors are
"interested in the success of the sales campaign bc
causes they believe that the athletic department
sponsors activities worthwhile to the entire student
body.."
Aren't these activities, then, "worthwhile to the
entire student body," justifiably supported by an or
gan whose responsibility is so clearly to the same
student body?
to the question "is the athletic department
really sponsoring an all-student program" (for
that is the question C. H. would probably raise at
this point), the Nebraskan wishes to reiterate its
convictions that the department is operated as an
all-university project, for the student body.
There have been times, in the past, when the
boom of football enthsiasra has perhaps operated to
the detriment of the student body. In the days
when "over-emphasis" was the only cry, there
were undoubtedly some grounds for the belief that
everything that could be done for the student body
was not being done.
But a saner attitude has been established, and ii
there were any doubts left Coach Indian" Schulte
removed them when he spoke to the Tassels at their
Wednesday noon luncheon. Making the policy plain
Schulte declared that the department was operated
with two goals in mind, the first, fine, clean sports
for all students, ant' second, use of athletic monies
to make them stretch as far as humanly possible.
Idealism was the keynote of Schulte's bilef talk,
and sincerity was underlying his remarks. The (acts
are plain: The athletic department is working tot
the student body, and there is neither the ned t(i
wave flags and shout about it, nor any reason ;'or
questioning the facts.
The Nebraskan, then, repeats its stand on the
athletic ticket sale. The ticket drive is being spon
sored, not for the elevation ot any oiganization, nor
for discrimination against the general student body
to which the paper is clearly responsible. Support of
the drive is support of the athletic department, and
whether you believe in the value of "athletics" as
recreation or not. you must admit, C. H., that many
students find them valuable.
And that is suffiicent justification for the Ne- !
braskan policy.

More About the
Frosh Handbook.
yJlTH freshmen as well as upperclassmen fin
ally settled in the routine of classwork sched
ules, it is time that the new students became fully
acquainted with the extra-curricular life the uni
versity opens to them. They have heard much
about campus activities but know very little which
will help them to enter into or participate in this
part of university life.
Last week an editorial in the Daily Nebraskan
called attention to this lack of information available
to new students interested in campus activities.
Women students who attended the all-activities tea
have had an incomplete introduction to the work
open to them, but nothing is available which will
describe in detail all of the various types of extra
curricular work.
The Innocents society, with this in mind, has
compiled a pamphlet describing in detail the pur
poses and work of the various campus organiza
tions, publications, and other activities. It was
the intention of the society, with the aid of the Mor
tar Boards, to publish the pamphlet during the
summer and present it to new students this fall,
but lack of funds necessary to print the booklet pre
vented them from going ahead with the project.
Such a publication should not be the respon
sibility of only one organization but of all those
concerned. The new and vital supply of talent, so
necessary to all activities, must be taken from
members of the freshman class who are interested
in these groups and have the ambition to work.
It would repay these activities many times in
services and members gained to invest in a papmh
let explaining their functions and aims. If all ac
tivities would contribute only a small amount
within their means, publication of the pamphlet
would be assured and it could be distributed to
freshmen within a short time. The Innocents so
ciety will gladly accept the contributions of any or
ganization willing to help in the completion of this
project.
ebraskan Rebuked.
TO THK EDITOR:
If this comment finds its way
into the columns of the Daily Ne
braskan, it will -be because the
editors ot the paper are liberal
enough and general enough to ac
cord a hearing to one who sees fit
to take exception to an opinion ex
pressed in their editorial column. I
refer to the editorial in the issue
of October 3rd captioned "Have
You r.ouj.ht It?"
The editors are anxious for the
success of the athletic ticket sales
drive. They are interested in the
university's athletic program.
They are interested in the girl's
organization in charge of the cam
paign. They are interested in the
success of the sales campaign be
cause they believe that the ath
letic department sponsors activi
ties woithwhile to the entire stu
dent body. These, to the extent
that they are personal interests
and ambitions, are entirely laud
able. I share every one of them.
But I believe that when the edi
tors come to champion these inter
ests in the editorial column, they
have failed to understand the real
function of their paper. Just what
is the function of the newspaper?
It is to furnish news to its public.
Why to its public? So that the
public may have facts in order to
conduct their affairs intelligently.
What other function has the
newspaper? It may also comment
on the news, interpret the news,
attempt to mold the opinion of its
public in the direction that it
deems wisest. But note that the
newspaper furnishes news to the
public, offers opinion to its public.
Its responsibility is to its public.
It is, if it stands in its proper rela
tion to its public, the champion of
the public. It is on the public's
side, not on the side of any group,
any organization, any part of the
public.
When The Daily Nebraskan at
tempts to champion the interests
of the Tassels, or the athletic de
partment or both it has stepped
out of its place. It is ligi
timate for the Nebraskan to ex
press opinions. If it were for ex
ample a question as to whether
athletics should be taught at the
university, it would be legitimate
for the paper to take ft stand on
one side. For that question would
concern the university public, as
a public. But this is a matter of
personal interest and not a con
stitutional matter.
I submit to you that it is no
more legitimate for the Nebraskan
to say (sternly ) for the student
public to buy athletic tickets than
it would be for the Lincoln Star to
say (sternly) for the Lincoln pub
lic to buy tickets to the city base
ball tournament.
The position of a newspaper is
as a champion of its public, and
when the student paper becomes
the champion of the Tassel's ticket
campaign, it has got itself on the
