Bsat Is Strong
The pulse of the University has begun again. The
rhythm seems quicker and firmer with the increasing surge
of students on campus.
And this semester, the staff of the Daily Xebraskaa
will endeavor to feel that rhythm to catch the beat of
. student thoughts, activities. " student-professor relation
ships and all the factors which together, pulsating, make
up our University of Nebraska.
Factual reporting of events which affect the students
will be our job. We intend to be objective and precise in
our news stories. Both sides of a political or general is
sue will be given equal space.
Editorially we will feel the pulse of campus sentiment
and comment on the day to day events, sometimes com
plimenting, sometimes criticizing.
We will publish biased editorials biased because they
represent the editor's own opinion. The editorials will be
written to persuade or dissuade, but most important to
stimulate thinking. That is our job.
The Xebraskan should be a flexible sounding board,
a means for your exchange of ideas, problems, thoughts
and joys.
But to be an effective sounding board, we must hear
from you. the students. Our office is open. We invite you
to come down to discuss any topic, any time.
In addition, you may express your opinions in letters
to the editor which w ill be headed "Campus Opinion" again
this semester. .
We have no specific policies outlined. We only know
that each issue will be confronted as it arises, in the best
way we know how.
You, the students, will in the end determine our suc
cessour success in knowing, understanding and thus
accurately reporting and interpreting the semester's events
our success in feeling our university's pulse.
The beat is strong. The rhythm is quick and firm.
Let us begin.
On Our Campus
People will stare at you. Some will avoid talking to
you. Others will completely ignore you.
You may create a sensation in your native dress. You
may have trouble finding suitable housing. And you may
become tired of answering the same questions. "Where
are you from?", "How do you like it here?" or "Do you
have television in your country?"
You are a foreign student at the University of Nebras
ka. And you are a very important part of our University.
We hope that many American students will Lake ad
vantage of the opportunity to meet you. to taste your
curry or see pictures of your home in India or Africa.
We hope some will become your close friends.
Your educational experience here will be a fuller one
if you know and understand an American student's thoughts
and beliefs, and eat his hamburgers.
We welcome you. who have just arrived on campus.
. to our University. May your stay with us be even-thing
you hoped it would be.

Alas. And alack, too. for that matter.
They've gone and torn down Grant
Memorial.
And did you notice the sneaky way
they did it. during the summer? We leave
the University, and there is Grant, just
like no parking space and lost freshmen:
a certainty. We come back, and no Grant.
This was probably a sly move to avoid
the formation of a Society to Prevent the
Destruction of Grant Memorial, and just
think what fun we missed.
First the SPDGM could have gained
the support of the YR's. who are without
a lost cause this year, because that moldy
old monstrosity was. after all. named aft
er a Republican president, and just look
what can happen in a Democratic ad
ministration. Then the WCTU could have come out
in support of the opposition group, the So
ciety to Prevent the Prevention of the De
struction of Grant Memorial, on the
grounds that Grant has achieved in his
tory a ratrser unfortunate reputation as a
boozer, obviously not a fitting person to
be memorialized, or a person to be held
up as an example for tender young inno
cents. They would have been joined by the
YD's. just on general principles.
Still I cannot but shed a tear over the
demolition of that glorious example of Vic
torian pseudo-medieval architecture I am
still mad about them tearing down Ellen
Smith Hall, and that's almost 10 years
ago..
Consider, how many other schools have
P.E. in a building where you expected
Rapunzel or somebody to appear in the
window of a tower but all there ever was
turned out to be a pigeon? How many
other schools have sparrows in the gym?
The freshmen will never know all the
fond memories we have about our lovely
semesters of P.E. and Grant Memorial. To
start with, you couldn't find it, when you
were a freshmen, and had to steer by map
and compass. Grant was listed as "Mem
Hall" on the schedules and "Grant" on the
maps. Then when you got there ilatel. they
made you stand around in practically noth
ing in a drafty room while they took sil
houette pictures, and of course, the
camera broke down half-way through.
I was just getting onto the secret of
P.E. at the end of my (thank heavens
one year, and maybe I can finally admit
bow I did it.
Simply, I just did awiul at the first
This I learned in a bowling class when
I bowled a fluke 128. which bolstered the
average on which I was supposed to im
prove, and I spent the rest of the course
wallowing in the 5Fs and 60"s.
Indeed, yes, I shall treasure the me
mories of drafty. crowded, creaky-staired
Grant, about hie I treasure that first
down I ever got in P.E.

"Vat ho!" bellowed the
Jolly Green Grapevine,
swinging a mighty limb
over the sill of my fifth
floor window. At the sight of
this botanical Hedda Hop
per, the Faraway Hills
moved even farther away
and the Green Fields suf
fered a nine-day plague of
locusts.
N'ot wishing to interrupt
mv blissful retirement with
a discussion of campus pol
itics. 1 merely carressed the
great leaf and commented:
This leaf's much to be de
sired." Somewhat hurt-I didn't
figure out why until later
the J. G. Grapevine paid
the customary two cigarets
and sat down in my rock
ing chair. Heedless of my
efforts to avoid mention of
the Good Old Days when we
worked as a team together,
the Vine began, and with
him began another partic
ularlv fme semester.
We decided not to cloud
up the beautiful sunrise with
anv criticism, so J. G. and
I drew up a list of impos
sible things for your enjoy
ment. What if:
A student committee
kept its important papers in
a wastebasket and a janitor
burned them one night?
A Governor would pout
because students refused to
cut their classes to hear
him praise education.
Grant Memorial Hall
would be condemned by the
State Fire Marshal"
Where are the gales of
laughter?
Well, the warf and woop
of it was that the mighty
Vine agreed to let me re
tire and study this year. It
did promise, however, to de
liver an occasional word on
Rush Week and the ASUX.
Greeks and non-Greeks, lib
erals and conservatives,
willing and Abel and a
whole ashtray full of addi
tional goodies.
And I will try to add a lit
tle humor to his informa
tion for those of you that
appreciate that sort of di
version. I did say something
funny once last year. It
was just before the stu
dent body elections.
And then Sitting Bull and
all the Indians in the whole
world came riding down at
Ml is not yet lost. While
trving to convert my nom

nine to the four point scales,
I not momentarily mathe
matically incompetent and
came up with a remainder
of $1.50.
Just the price of a fresh

There's more than o fabric superiority in Gorrt. In

wears a Gant.
We chose Garrt because they take shirt making seri
ously. They're hard to please (like we arej when it
comes to fit of collar, its role, its profile how much
it shows above the suit collar. They're fastidious
ohout the woy the body of the shirt drapes ond folds.
All must integrate to achieve that viable ingredient
which aes comfort and aplomb, in substance, Gant
shirts are keyed to the discerning tastes of well
groomed men who appreciate quality. These men ere
