There are "green" freshmen coming to school who are duly Impressed by everything collegiate. There are seniors who are acquainted with most of the ins and outs of college life. And there are professors, who have seen the comings and goings of thous ands of students.

We plan a new type face and a new type of coverage. We hope to make the paper Interesting to all students on the campus, what ever their subject field. We on the staff have felt that coverage in the past was sometimes spotty, caused partially by a lack of help. This year, in addition to r.ie Students who will come to the office to work for love of work in journalism, we will also have students from Prof. William Hice's sec ond semester reporting class and senior news problems courses to contribute to The Daily Nebraskan columns. Through this medium we hope to be able to expand our coverage. We have lined up a number of features, some Old, some new, for our readers this semester. Our columnists will include Nancy Benjamin, a staff writer and former editor of The Dailv third year as a journalism major, Pieper is vice president of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journal ism fraternity.

We intend to comment on leading national and international issues as well as purely campus issues. We want to discuss some of the problems of university students in these columns. We wel come any suggestions as to what readers would like.

To the Editor: From all signs this promises to be a great year at the University of Nebraska and I want to pass my sincere thanks along to the students. You do not have a great university without students! First, I would like to .say to our 'Freshmen that they appear to be one of the best first-year classes I have ever seen. As I have watched you Freshmen getting started, I have been im pressed with your conduct and your attitude. You act to me like young people who know why they came to the University of .Ne braska and what they expect of a university. At the Freshman con vocation, when 1 looked at you all assembled there, I was very proud of our Nebraska young people. I believe we are going to get along fine. Second, I have never seen a finer display of wholesome spirit than that demonstrated by the upperclass student leaders who aided so efficiently with New Student Week. I have had con fidence in you all along but I fear I have underestimated you. You people did a magnificent job! I know that when we have the kind of help that you ga.e, we are on the right track. If we can continue the wonderful beginning, we will make this p. tremendous Corn husker year. With all good wishes, R. G. Gustavson dear editor ...

Last semester The Daily Nebraskan was accused of being a mere bulletin board for what went on on the campus. Let me say here and now, that I did not file for the editorship of The Daily Nebraskan with the idea of running a bulletin board. We are going Physics Teacher inspires Chancellor; Career Begins As Science Teacher He's lived in Nebraska for seven years and is classed as one of the state's loyal sons already. Of course, Reuben G. Gustav son, chancellor of the University of Nebraska, has had no trouble fitting in as a typical Nebraska character. He's a farm boy him self. He spent the greater part of his teens living on his father's farm in Colorado. The combination of interests in agriculture and science came when Gustavson was a junior in high school. "I was inspired," the chancellor reminisced, "by my physics teach er. He told me that chemistry was the coming thing." When Gustavson attended the University of Denver, he capital ized on that instructor's advice. He received his A.B. and M.A. degrees there and went on to the University of Chicago to secure his Ph.D. Since then, he has held in structorships, dean's positions, and places as department head in the chemistry divisions at Colorado Agricultural college, Fort Collins, the University of Denver and the University of Colorado. He was president of the University of Colorado from 1943 to '45. Dr. Gustavson also held a vari ety of positions at the University of Chicago. He was a visitiig professor of chemistry and served regularly in the Union and ex-1 as vice president as Dean of '.he changing ideas and interests.
