Today We Had a Caller
WHO TOLD US this paper was
violating the law. We are guilty
of plagiarism. We can not tell you
that "Roosevelt seeks Landon's
support," as our yesterdrty's head
line did, because that is stealing.
It has been held by the courts that
news is a property and is subject
to ownership. Property cannot
rightfully be stolen.
COINCIDENTAL with the call
of our friend, were phone calls
and several letters, one of which
is printed in today's Pulse, con
gratulating the DAILY NEERAS
KAN for recognizing the fact that
there is news outside that of this
institution.
THIS PATER has never intend
ed to be an institutional liability.
Its long established purposes are
to report the news of the univer
sity, reflect as near as possible the
views of the student body, and in
terpret the institution to the
public. For scores of years it has
been attempting to do just that.
COMES NOW, however, a time
of emergency. This is a time when
probably the most well written,
well covered continuous story dur
ing our short span of years is tak
ing place. Editors for the past
ten years have fought for permis
sion to special wire services simi
lar to those of metropolitan news
papers. It is not doubtful that
editors of the future will do the
same. There are those who are
dubious of the entire idea - there
ate others, who because of their
own interests, have not seen their
way clear to permit it.
THE JOB confronting the entire
DAILY NEBRASKAN staff is not
a simple on. Long, hard hours of
work that end in results only to
be criticized are hard to swallow.
For that reason, then, this year
special precautions have been
taken to allow no glaring mis
takes in proofreading, quotations,

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN is
furthering its efforts to better
serve the students of the Univer
sity by relaying thru its special
news bulletin board in the lobby
of the Union the latest news of
the world-esecially that of the
war.
O
AND WHILE we're on the sub
ject of war, we're going to spon
sor a contest. We're going to give
a prize -something worthwhile
in an effort to find a name for
the present war. No one yet has
conceived the words that best fit
the fracas going on across the
waters. Just drop your entries
inta the campus mail.
HERE'S ONE on our sports edi
tor, Miss June Bierbower, the only
woman sports editor of a campus
daily. Miss Bierbower and a friend
were on their way to Lincoln last
Saturday. A highway patrolman
pulled up along side the car and
stopped the couple for speeding.
June wrote her father who relayed
her message to the judge. "You
see," said June truthfully, "we
were talking about the Canadian
Royal Airforce and I guess my
driver-friend thought we were
flying."
WE TAKE off our hats today
to Miss Webster of the Geology
deartment. Genial and true-hearted,
Miss Webster pauses to pull
weeds as she walks across the
campus mauls. It's not everyone
that has that much interest in this
institution.
To The Editor.
Congratulations on the NE
BRASKAN'S at last taking cog
nizance of the fpet that the Corn
Cobs, and Tassels, deciding to
eliminate apple cores from apples
at football games does not consti
tute the most important news
suitable for university students'
consumption.
Your daily column playing up
news of the present world situa
tion is a long-needed addition to
the paper, in my opinion. Surely
no one should be more interested
in the second World war than col
lege students, since they are of the
age which would prove most vul
nerable should the United States
be drawn into the conflict. Such
being the ca.se, the Official Pub

The doings of all the Big People
On The Campus are an important
part of any college paper without
doubt, but the activities of Hitler
and his playmates are not wholly
without interest t all of us, so,
again, congratulations!

To The Editor:
Last spring, by some official or
der, the little red stop 'buttons'
dotting campus streets were taken
up and replaced by curb stop
signs. This was a very good idea,
since the street buttons doubtless
were the cause of more than one
chassis-shivering jolt.
However, it is almost too opti
mistic on someone's part to ex
pect all motorists to see the new
si?ns, stuck on short posts as they
are and completely obscured by
parked cars. One of these days, a
driver who is unfamiliar with the
locations of these cleverly hidden
signs is going to breeze right on
through knocking some poor soul
or souls to Uknowhere.
Why not mount the signs on tall
posts which would place them
above the line of parked cars and
in full sight of approaching
vehicles? And why not do it before
there is an accident and not after
wards as in the case with the
automatic signal at 14th and R
streets. How about it, whoever is
; in charge of things like stop signs?
Safety Man.

A style expert has been defined
as one who makes a woman feel
modest when she isn't. We men
aren't bothered with such people.
But we do have our troubles.
Foremost among these troubles
is our Ind'an underwear. You
know, the kind that creeps up be
hind you.
Another thing that we have to
be careful of are suits that fit
like paper on a wall. I'll admit
that they look nice but you never
see a wall bend over, do you?
Then there is the matter of
style. It seems that if one foo!
wears it, it is bad taste. If enough
fools wear it. it's style.
Zippers will never crowd but
tons out of the men's clothing pic
ture. I'd like to see some sap try
to put a zipper in the collection
plate.
...
Well. I bought a plaid vest a
one of the clothing stores down
town, yesterday. Just a little
something to keep my apju'tite
under check.

Suspenders are still holding up
under the strain of competition
from the belt.
