A New Leaf . . .
Having survived the sub-zero weather and the battle of final exams,
Daily Ncbraskan staff members return to their corner of the Union
basement for another semester of news-hunting and reporting. The
job is not always an easy one, and we are hoping that administrators,
professors and students will give us the necessary cooperation to
enable us to put out a newspaper which does not overlook any aspects
of campus life.
Part of the trouble of getting news is accountable to a lack of
understanding of how The Daily Nebraskan operates. Our three
sources of news are: (1) the news brought in by our own staff mem
bers and reporters; (2) releases from the University editorial and
publicity office; and (3) news brought in by the publicity chairman of
the various organizations.
To improve our present system of obtaining news, The Daily
Nebraskan must make one of the two following arrangements with
all campus goups. One, each organization may assign one of its mem
bers as publicity chairman who will bring the news to The Daily
Nebraskan office. Many organizations already have this system of re
porting news. Two, organizations desiring The Daily Nebraskan to
do the reporting are requested to inform our office of time and place
of meeting and what one responsible person we may depend upon
to contact for information.
The five news editors have been assigned what we consider the
five aspects of a student's life academic, social, extra-curricular
activities, cultural and religious or philosophical and are responsible
or not only finding the news in these different fields but obtaining
commentary from authorative persons on what these phases of
college life should mean to the student.
The assignments are as follows:
Academic: Susie Reed.
Social: Louise McDill. -
Activities: M. J. Melick.
Cultural: Bruce Kennedy. (This field is in reference mainly to those
events or occurrences which are apart from the University campus
but are, nevertheless, important to the student. Emily Heine, Features
editor, will be in charge of campus activities in this field.)
Religious or philosophical: Gene Berg.
The news which will appear in The Daily Nebraskan falls under
one of the above headings. Students and groups concerned with these
fields who will have news to offer the Daily are requested to contact
cur office and make arrangements with the designated news editor.
One more request: That professors, despite their usual lack of
interest in The Daily Nebraskan, realize that The Daily Nebraskan is
interested in them and wants to print the news that concerns them.
So, profs, when you're speaking to groups off campus, or writing
books, or making reports or discoveries of interest to the students,
please don't overlook The Daily Nebraskan as a means of letting
students learn of what they should and want to know. How about it?

Delayed Action
BY BRUCE KENNEDY.
The first step of the Corps of
Engineers' all-out fight against
the storm, that of locating the
equipment necessary to do the
job, has been completed. Maj. Gen.
Lewis A. Pick is heading this
battle against the elements.
Ph addition, President Truman
has sent the nomination of Pick
as the chief of the Corps of Army
Engineers to the Senate. It is ex
pected that his appointment will
be okayed by a Senate committee
soon.
The Western Powers are watch
ing suspiciously the alleged "olive
branch"' being waved by Prime
Minister Stalin from the Kremlin.
Stalin has said that he would
agree to a "no-war"' conference
with the United States at any
time, and also said he would be
glad to meet with Truman for
peace talks.
Congress was advised by Her
bert Hoover to give the President
power to reorganize the govern
ment to the point that fewer than
20 major agencies report directly
to the White House. It has been
reported that from 65 to over one
hundred such agencies now re
port directly to Truman.

everything else about his visit.
The Atomic Energy Commission
recorded "an expansion of effort
in all phases of atomic energy de

many new measures to protect its
vital facilities from sabotage or

Temple auditorium was unsafe. They were warned last year
that it would be condemned. Yet when the State Fire Mar

theater, but only students in speech courses or connected
with the speech department may attend. The music depart

It occurs to us that if the Board of Regents had acted
threw things into an uproar, they could have avoided the
resulting confusion.
We hope by next year the university will have a theater
which can carry on the tradition of the Temple.
