THE NEBRASKAN
Sunday, September 23, 1945.
Where We're Headed
There comes a time toward the beginning of each
school year when the editorial staff of the school paper at
tempts to set down in more or less comprehensive form
the aims and ambitions of that paper for the year. Most
of the time, these aims and purposes are printed and then
forgotten, but even so we, too, must state what we intend
to do this year.
In the first place, the Nebraskan will be absolutely im
partial in its news columns. As the only newspaper on the
campus, we cannot take sides in any controversy in our
news stories. Anything that is news will be printed re
gardless of what group or individual it favors. The edi
torial page, however, will take sides on any issue that may
arise, and the Letterip columns are always open to student
comment, so long as the comment is signed and not
anonymous.
So much for the general aims. On the specific side,
the Nebraskan will make a stab at finding out the answers
to a number of questions that have been plaguing us for
several years. Questions such as the following:
1. Will the administration ever realize that a student
body does exist and that it is just as necessary for the
maintenance of a good university as the administration?
2. What does the estimable organization Coed Coun
selors do that warrants its existence besides sponsor the
spring Penny Carnival (the good of which no one has yet
discovered), and help at registration?
3. Is it absolutely necessary that the society column
be practically nothing more than a list of Creek affiliations?
4. What does War Council President Alice Abel plan
to do with her organization now that the war is over?
And so on.
We also intend to present a national and international
news column because college students are notorious for
their ignorance of current events. We'll publicize everything
good about the university and try to find but why its bad
things are bad.
In short, the Nebraskan believes that this is a great
year for the University of Nebraska and we're going to
give our readers the when, where, what, who, why and how
of it three times a week to the best of our ability.
Crib and Nebraskan Object
Numerous and sundry people are constantly wanting
their views, gripes and pleas aired in the Nebraskan, so
because the Nebraskan staff and practically everyone else
in the university spends too much time in the Corn Crib
of the Union, we hereby print the latest, but undoubtedly
not the last, howl of the Crib waiters.
"Please," they beg, "tell the people who eat or drink
in the Crib to deposit their 'used' Nebraskans somewhere
else, not on the floor of the Crib." It seems that everything
left on tables in the grill eventually gets shoved on the
floor, which makes it bad for the Union K.P. squad. Any
way, on the floor with cigaret butts is no place for the
product of a day's labor by the Nebraskan staff. See!

A certain enticing subject very
close to the hearts of most stu
dents has been sadly neglected in
The Nebraskan in late years.
Columnists in the past have man
aged to overlook it in their own
best interests but the guilty
conscience which comes with
passing up a good story is gnaw
ing at our bones. So with firm
convictions nd failing heart we
discourse upon:
Characteristics of UN Profs
Usually m hem the UN prof faces
his class for the first day he
spends one-half hour trying: to
discourage the students from
taking his coarse. If this doesn't
succeed in scaring them he
launches gleefully into a tale of
what a monster he is, particularly
in regard to examinations.
Then there's the prof who de
lights in making rabid statements
which he might term his 'sleep
chasers. Dysinger, of psychology
fame, calmly asserted in the
presence of his green psych 70
class:
"'There is a striking resemblance
between the behavior of rats and
humans."
Most of the class laughed,
somewhat nervously, at the state
ment only to find themselves con
fronted by the prof, gazing at
them and smiling sarcastically as
if to say: "I'm poor suckers, you
think I'm kidding."
One of Mr. Marvin's favorite
tricks on his physics students is
to carefully and thoroughly elab
orate on a complicated theory,
causing his students to write
frantically in order to capture it
in their notebooks. Then as often
as not he will unconcernedly
make the statement: '"But this
theory has been recently dis
proved."
The priee remark, however,
came from Dr. Whitney in the
course on evolution and genetics.
Me started out: "Some of you are
troubled because you don't under
stand men. Others are troubled
because they dont understand
women." Then holding up a book,
the reading of which constituted
a 4th hour credit, . he continued,
"Well, it's all right here in this
book!"
That is a rare specimen of the
stereot3ped college prof! (After
naively scanning the book I found
out he was kidding so read
'"Fountainhead" instead.)
Then there's Mr. nice, the new
journalism teacher, with his "talc
of woe". Tho we cant see any
thing wrong with them, he seems
to be dissatisfied with his ears,
his glasses and his nose, attribu
ting his bachelor status to them.
Perhaps Prof Elliot would be
willing to trade with him and
then introduce him to Elliott's
baby, "The Coed's Cupola Cas
bah." It would take reams of paper to
do justice to UN's profs and there
is still a paper shortage. Never
theless we will try to do our iit
by incorporating as a weekly
feature of this column a ""We
Present" on college professors.
Each time we will attempt to pick
the most peculiar professor of the
week and bring his idiosyncrasies
to light
