Editorial Comment
Looking Forward . . .
With this first edition of The Daily Nebraskan off the
presses, the staff is looking forward to a semester of fun
and work putting out a paper that will cover student in
terests as thoroughly as possible!
Because we are the only student publication and there
fore the only media of publicity on the campus, we must
maintain a policy of impartiality in allowing both sides of
every question to be presented fairly and equally. For this
purpose we have a letterip column. We urge you to use
this column to air your views and gripes. In order to con
serve space in an already crowded paper, we must limit the
length of leteers to 300 words, and we ask all students and
faculty to remember that ruling.
Though our letterip columns are open to anyone and
everybody, The Daily Nebraskan editor and staff reserve
the right to take a stand in the editorial columns. That,
after all is the purpose of an editorial column. Also, by
leaving the letterip columns open, we do not mean to print
a flood of voluminous material on any one subject. De
cision as to the number of letters printed on each topic
wil be made according to campus interest.
In a further effort to make The Daily Nebraskan a
paper that will be a real service to all university students,
we will devote a complete page once a week to news from
the University Medical College in Omaha. This will be put
into practice next week.
Heretofore, there has been no coverage of the med
campus in The Nebraskan since there has been no dis
tribution of papers there. The medical students have not
before had a means of publishing their articles and notices,
because they are just as much University students as
those of us on the Lincoln campus, we feel that such
coverage is justified.
Because The Daily Nebraskan is a student newspaper
published for the purpose of serving the students, we wel
come your suggestions and contributions to our news and
feature columns.

jne oi me Diggest seasons in i
University Theatre history is ex
pected this year according to the
atre officials.
"This year's plays," commented
Theatre Director Dallas Williams,
"are the best ever selected. There
is an extremely fine balancing of
plays as to type and a very strong
list of playwrights. Each play
was read and tested many times,
and all were found to be of the
highest calibre."
"If the University Theatre- can I
give the plays well, I feel the stu
dents should see them. Giving
them well depends on try-outs,"
added Mr. Williams.
Five Renowned Playwrights.
The season's plays include
"Dream Girl" by Elmer Rice, "Be
yond the Horizon" by Eugene
UNeill, "Winterset" by Maxwell
Anderson, "Othello" by William
Shakespeare, and "I Remember
Mama" by John Van Druten.
Each performance will run four
performances.
To give an idea of available
talent and to give students better
dramatic opportunities, a series of
general tryouts, conducted indi
vidually, has been arranged. They
will be held from 2 p. m. to 5
p. m Friday, Sept. 17, 9 a. m to
12 noon, Saturday, Sept. 20, 9 a.m.
to 12 noon, and 1 p. m. to 5 p. m..
Monday, Sept. 20, and 9 a. m. to
12 noon and 1 p. m. to 5 p. m.,
Tuesday, Sept. 21.
General Tryouts First.
These tryouts should not be
confused with the specific try
outs held before each play. Gen
eral iryouts are designed to ac
quaint the University Theatre
with all the dramatic talent on the
campus and to compile a profile
card for each student.
Tryouts will be conducted indi
vidually before a casting commit
tee of faculty members. Each
tryout will last from 15 to 30 min
utes.
Appointments for tryouts may
be made daily with Mrs. Denton in
the Business Manager's office, 105

Old and New
The opening of the University classes in the fall is an
old story, but each freshman class is a new story. To this
group and to all students and faculty The Daily Nebraskan
staff extends its "hello's" and offers its beginning the first
edition for the 1948-49 school year.
Once the semester gets rolling, the freshmen are in
variably the core of school pep and enthusiasm since they
look to university classes and activities as something inter
esting and perhaps exciting. The frosh class represents the
spirit that pep clubs dream of instilling in an entire school.
We hope that these students w ill continue their enthusiasm
and that they will profit from the four short years ahead
of them, both in studies and extra-curricula activities.
