POLICY.
A paper like the Dally Nebraskan
readily divides Itself Into four main
parts- an advertising section; a news
section, an editorial section, and a
forum. In relation to each one of
these parts specifically can be best
explained the policy of this sheet for
the ensuing semester.
The advertising section supports
this paper Ad ertising, thetefoie, is
necessarllv a large part of the Daih
Nebraskan As mix b space must be
ghen to oui advertisers as in the
judgment of the business manager is
needed to keep us alive Joining
hands with the business men who sup
)oi t us we can demand that what
adei Using goes In should catch the
ee and get the trade
In the news section we shall infoim
our leaders about University happen
lugs of gem tal interest We shall tell
the tinth. we do not expect to run
a ellow sheet But we do insist that
whatever Is published should be so
phrased that it not only appeals to
the reason but also hold the atten
tion and captivates the Imagination
Abstractly stated -this is far from a
tlieor etlcal standard Specimens of
the right kind of writing are on e
hibltion at this office Students who
do the light kind of writing we can
mention b name Space in these
columns is alwavs open to those who
can popularize the truth In journal
Ism the truth shouldn't soak in The
truth should burn in
Edltoi i.ill , we expect to sav what
v e think We expect to s.iv not what
we think things ate but what we
think tilings ought to be We expect
to sav what we think subject to two
limitations the one, placed upon us
from above, the other imposed upon
us bv our const it n e The Dailv No
biaskan is a ct nsored sheet, cen
sored because imm.itme and econoni
icall dependent students lesponsi
ble for its publication aie not alwas
responBlblo for what thoy nay.
Furthermore, we do not accept the
common Interpretation of the Ameri
can free speech doctrine "Every man
has a right to an opinion of his own."
This may be the American doctrine
But it is not the true doctrine. The
irue doctrine Is, NO MAN HAS A
RIGHT TO AN OPINION OF HIS
OWN UNLESS HE CAN DEFEND IT
BY INFERENCES BASED ON THE
FACTS For these reasons, within tho
"sphere of anarchy" alloted ub by ex
Istlng powers wo shall expreBB our
opinions and have them to defend.
The time is ripe for a vlgoroua
editorial policy The University facen
three crises- one, testing whether or
not the University shall remain as It
is on its present campus or become a I
different University at the Stale)
l..i "ti ti uirrtwl tnutlnir wlintlwir nr I

not University existence shall bo life
with a spirit in it, or a barren, soulless
emplov merit, and a third, tCRtlng
whether or not collateral activities
athletics, society and tho like. Bhall
become the principal occupation of
our students and study, a purely in
cldental matter If these crises are
not clear to every Btudent, if Borne
think we are fighting a sham battle
over fake Ibbucs, it is either because
they have not personally ran against
these problems, or else their Univer
sit literature has not analized for
them the substances of things going
on Every one of these Issues, we
venture to predict, is going to be Bet
tied within the next ten ears If the
Hail Nebraskan is ever to take a
conscious constructive part in the
m.iking of University history, it can
not begin any earlier We start now
We do not expect to support every
novenient which for the moment
possesses the enthusiasm of a major
tv The decision of a majorltj is al
v.ivs light But their movements are
)ften mistaken Good menements
hall receive our suppoit Bad move
I'ents we shall freel.v condemn In
hoit , we expect to do some "knock
ing "
We do not expect ou to agree with
us We shall be disappointed if you
not disagree with us. We require
sugestions We invite opposition We
solicit attack f you oppose out
views, if j on oppose the views of
others, If jou have iinj constiuctive
policies of jour own, give them to us
In writing, and we will publish them
In the For urn Because it measures
the activitj of public opinion, an ele
ment we aie anxious to build up -of
all p.uts of the paper we like the
I forum best And we show our ap-
picci.it ion oy giving it end emphasis
to.
