HOPES FOR A FUTURE.
Now Year resolutions aro made
with good lntontlons; thoy aro usual
ly moro Intentions, novor reaching
tho later stages In tho dedvolonment
of an "action." A more resolution
does not go far toward accomplishing
an ond. Policies, It would scoin,
should . ho placed In tho samo cate
gory. Thoy aro mado up and given
voice at loaBt printed.
Tho editor of a nowspanor often
forgots that ho has a policy at all and,
If he (Ioob not happen to romoinhor It
for once, he sits hack in his olllcial
easy (hard wood kitchen variety)
chair, and does as the exigency of tho
moment demands, regardless of "pol
icy." Policy Is a demon, which haunts a
man lllto a ghost, tying him down to
a stayed way. It keops him from be
ing progressive. It roots him to tho
solid earth of tradition. Policy Is
tho ono thing which a newspaper
should shun.
Wo havo decided, therefore, that wo
will not adopt any policy, thinking It
bottor to just do our best ovory time
wo run agalnBt a Biiag. A book of
rulos and pollclcB could not do us any
good in a pinch, and we doubt If the
readers caro whether we havo a pol
icy or not.
Wo havo hopoB. however, and hopes
aro as much different from policies
as a gray cat Is from a yollow dog.
Wo hopo that tho Daily Nebraskan

hopo that It will bo a nowspaper.

all of tho dopo, which wo print, will

tho stories will bo slung togother In

that tho papor may remain a non

Wo hopo that tho Nebraskan will
grow In tho hearts of tho studonts

not subscribe for and rend It may
hardly bo deemed to havo matricul

mindful of the importance of this
oracle of their alma mater. They
nlono should provide it n subscription

what a commentary It would bo upon

tho ono considerable effort of the

"Live and let live" is a motto often
appealed to by those who affect a gen
orous liberality. In tho case of the
"University Hag." as it is affection
ately termed by progressive students,
the mottlo should be paraphrased to
"Llvo. and help live." There ought
to bo no Indifference entertnlned to

"Inasmuch as Chancollor Avery has
said It will not, undoubtedly tho Uni

FROM HARRY MINOR.
Tho alumni students aro tho ones
who most appreciate the old Univer
sity. Every time a Nebraska gradu
ato thinks of his Alma Mater his
heart throbs and ho thinks of tho
happy dayB ho spent here. Tho fol
lowing letter from Harry Minor, a
former University football star,
shows tho true "Nebraska spirit":
Smith Center, Kan., Jan. 31, 1912.
Dear Nebraskan:
I am lost without (a bit of) news
from tho old college. Enclosed And

Notico the basketball team bids
fair to annex tho Missouri Valley
championship tltlo. Keep after 'em.
In traveling about tho various Val
ley states, I find an Increased Inter
est being stationed nbout Nebraska
as a Btrong university. It seems duo
largoly to tho increased enrollment
and ovon moro directly, perhaps, to
tho placo tho Cornhuskers now hold
In tho athletic world.
If my efforts aro not without nvnll
Bovoral Btrong young education seok

tho "BeBt Nebraska."
Wo havo a mighty lively bunch of
ex-Nobraskans In Kansas City, where
I headquarter. I don't get In there
as often as I would llko to, though.
I am enjoying my work promoting,

her interests, I remain,
Loyally,
