We But Suggest PROBABLY one of the most apparently use less and yet quite customary tasks of a newlv inaugurated editor is to propound prin ciples and matters of policy to be lollowed during his term in office. Today the iNebras kan, beginning a new regime with a new stall, takes issue with lime honored custom s de mand that a statement of policy be set iorlli by refusing to yield to its dictum. It is inevitable that with the coming of new personalities the trend of Nebraskan poli cies in different student fields will vary, per haps drastically. While it is the intention 01 the present editor to treat all issues with as meticulous care as is possible, that definite sides will be taken is not to be denied. Noth ing in the way of progress was ever accom plished by an impassive attitude. Undoubtedly criticism will be enccmn tered. Condemnations may be launched from many corners. Commendations, probably more sparse, will also be heard. For both, the Ne braskan holds open the Student Pulse column. Thus by keeping with the ideal of a student paper a"ny person desiring to express an opin ion either in accordance with or divergent from the Nebraskan policy is free to do so by means of the editorial columns. In a single principle the Nebraskan wishes to remain consistent. Espousal of the causes of the vast majority of students a? against the specialized groups which con stantly endeavor to exploit them will be tha Nebraskan 's sincere objective. It is indeed a fundamental question as to whether closed nights, student social functions and the like are established primarily for the benefit of the few taking a share in the profits or for the persons upon whom the closed night is thrust. The Nebraskan is an independent news paper. It has no factional loyalties. In short, it is a business institution financially self sup porting and responsible for what it prints. -As such it shall feci free to criticize whatever it believes wrong or detrimental to the .student body at large. It proposes to "stick its nose" into all student activities which it feels have obtained a paralyzing influence upon the stu dent bod'. Any arbitrary procedures and practices of the administration upon matters of student in terest will receive their proportionate share of attention. Tendencies of officials to slight the just desires of the very persons for whom the entire system of education was founded has resulted in some instances in a feeling of futility and bitterness entirely unnecessary among students. Consideration and under standing upon their par) would involve only at little time coupled with tolerance. At present it is almost a recognizable fact that our university is failing to provide ade quate educational stimuli necessary to the in tellectual development of its students. Better convocations and more student forums are a trying need. Thus far the student is consid ered merely as a customer. When in the class room information is placed at his disposal but .when outside no worthwhile program is made available to him. It is not the purpose of the university to secure a sheltered life for the individual. Rath er it should be the purpose oi! a university to provide opportunity for a better acquaintance with the world in which he is later to dwell. This can only be had through actual contact .with and not exclusion from the nation's con crete problems. The Nebraskan, in short, favors measures which will give students a more sound and well rounded life, keeping them at all times informed as to campus activities, believing this a means of providing a more complete preparation for the life in which students will some day find themselves. $25 PRIZE FOR BEST Nebraskans May Compete In Advertising Contest. People of the state will again have the opportunity of competing for $25 in prize money for the best Judged poster advertising the forty-sixth annual exhibit of the Nebraska Art association, which will be held at Morrill hall at the University of Nebraska in March.

After considerable bandying oC words back and forth, what was considered a defi nite step towards settlement of the comprehensive- examination controversy was taken last week when a student committee on com prehensives met with a faculty committee to discuss advisable changes. The meeting was fruitless. The faculty members, claiming that the students presented no factual bases for their anti-comprehensive arguments, sent the students away without passing judgment on their criticisms. The students, acting through the commit tee and the Daily Tar Heel, refuse to allow their protests to be passed over so lightly and treated so ineffectually. In answer to the charges of fho faculty committee, the Daily Tar Heel will conduct a survey of students who have taken compre hensive examinations on the basis of the fol lowing questions: 1. Did your comprehensive examination or studying for your comprehensive affect the. synthesis of your major course of study? 9.

After receiving recognition on several of his songs and poems, he will tour England and the Scandina vian countries next summer and will then retire to write. NEBRASKAN FIFTH IN National Group Inspects Papers for Lineage, Originality.

GEOLOGISTS DESCRIBE OIL, GAS FORMATIONS Increase in Oil Leases in State Bring Demand For Bulletin. "Permo-Pennsylvania Section of the HartvHle Area of Wyoming," a bulletin edited by G. E. Condra and E. C. Reed, has been just released from the press. Although formations discussed in the bulletin are not exposed in. Nebraska but are present at a great depth, they are studied to identify and correlate the deeper formations that will be drilled in testing for oil and gas in the western counties of the state. Demand for the bulletin has come with the increase in oil leases in the state during the past year, according to Dr. Condra. The material contained in this bulletin is one of the most de tailed pieces of investigation ever made in the Rocky Mountain re gion in many years. The bulletin- is well illustrated and is being distributed free to geology stu dents.

Hester Elizabeth Freeman, Lincoln, BELGIUM IN ADDRESS Weller Tells of Country's Government, Customs, Social Life. In n recent radio address, Prof. J. P. Weller, instructor in the French department, who was as signed a fellowship to make a study of Brussels in connection with the efforts of the American commission for relief in Belgium during the war, depicted the newly established government and the social life and customs of that country. "It is by Belgium's admirable receptivity, by its rare aptitude of assimilation, that the original ity of the country resides," he said. "It is the admirable recep tivity which has enabled us to ren der signal services to Belgium. Our country is indebted to this for the possession of a national life common to each of the two races it contains, without sacrificing the individuality of each." Professor Weller, as the above quotations Illustrate, is of the firm conviction that there is a stronger common bond between the United States and Belgium than is common belief. The aim of the fellowships, like the one to which Professor Weller was as signed, was to promote "a bridge of fine relationships between two nations." Condra, Reed Write Bulletin. Dr. G. E. Condra and Prof. E. C. Reed have just completed a bulle tin on Ground Water Formations of Nebraska.
