Every year about this time, American college
tampuses become a beehive of activiity. 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.

Physics Teacher Inspires Chancellor;
The University of Nebraska is no exception
this year, Students are returning to ttie business
cf studying after a summer of leisure, or of work.
All this requires a drastic change in pace from
more leisurely summertime activities. Most stu
dents greet this change with mixed feelings: they
are glad to be back with their old friends and
old habits, and a trifle sad to leave behind swim
ming, tennis-playing and other hot weather ac
tivities. Along with all these changes, The Daily Ne
braskan, too, is in the midst of a change of pace,
rhis year, the staff plans to revise the paper from
top to bottom. 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 a the staff have felt that coverage in
the past was sometimes spotty, caused partially
by ft lack of help. This year, in addition to 7ae
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 aumber of features, some
Old, some new, for our readers this semester.
Our columnists will include Nancy Benjamin,
& staff writer and former editor of The Daily
Nebraskan; John Gradwohl and Paul Gaiter, law
college seniors; Amy Palmer, Daily Nebraskan
Candid Reporter last semester, and Connie Gor
don, who last semester joked her way through
the Stolen Goods column.
'
We plan book reviews, movie reviews, and ex
panded interpretative coverage of national and
International news, interviews with leading cele
brities who may visit Lincoln, and more interviews
with interesting students, of which there are
nearly 7,000.
We plan critiques of visiting art, music and
dramatic shows on campus. 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
to do our level best to put what you, the student,
want in your paper.
We are trying an entirely new system of or
ganization and coverage in our office. If it does
not work, we will junk the system and try some
thing else.
We have, in the opinion of this editor, a highly
qualified staff. Your editor spent the summer as a
staff writer for the Lincoln Star and has spent
several years working on The Daily Nebraskan.
Our associate editor, Joan Krueger, has served
as editor of the Builders' special edition of The
Daily Nebraskan and has been active in journalistic
ana aeoave circles.
Our managing editors, Ruth Raymond and
Don Pieper, are both veterans on The Daily Ne
braskan staff. Miss Raymond is a former society
editor on the Scottsbluff Star-Herald. Entering Mr
third year as a journalism major, Pieper is vice
president of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journal
ism fraternity.
Our other staff members are likewise no
strangers to journalistic circles: Sue Gorton, Ken
Rystrom, Jan Steffen, Sally Adams and Shirley
Murphy, news editors; Jane Randall, feature edi
tor; Dale Reynolds, Ag editor; Ann Gilligan, society
editor; Bob Banks, sports editor; and Marshall
Kushner, assistant sports editor; and Bob Sher
man, photographer.
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.
We intend to point out what is right with the
University as well as the more serious aspects.
This should be a great year for the Univer
sity of Nebraska and we are planning a great
year for The Daily Nebraskan!
Pity The Poor Freshman
We wonder if the poor freshman entering col
lege isn't just a little taken back by all the sales
men and saleswomen running around campus try
ing to sell them something which they "just have
to have."
Students can get everything from a pencil with
the complete football schedule printed on it to the
new yearbook.
street without being accosted by some individual
who assures you that you just haven't lived until
you have purchased his particular product.
The freshman is confused enough by the time he
has had a conference with his adviser, gone through
registration line, taken his physical and been in
doctrinated in some of the University ways.
Why not leave the poor guy alone for just a
little while?
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! I
First, I would like to .say to
our Freshmen that they appear to
be one of the best first-year I
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 I 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 t tremendous Corn
husker year.
With all good wishes,

years and is classed as one of the

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
