YOUR PART IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE DAILY NEBRASKAN The statement that a college paper should be representative of student opinion is as old as the institution itself. How to make it so is a vexing problem, and cannot be solved without the active co-operation of the student public. Primarily, a college daily is a dis penser of news. AH other functions must subordinate themselves to this main purpose. What then, will be our attitude toward this side of the work? We believe that no news should ap pear in the paper that is not written by the students. If there is riot enough university news to be of interest, or not enough Interested students to get it in form for publication, it is better to let the paper die, than to fill its columns with boiler plate, or with items copied verbatim from the town papers. In addition to the above, a college daily must pursue an editorial policy that will keep before the students a discussion of affairs of importance to them Individually and collectively. This opens before us at the present time a large field. While we are not now ready to announce any particular editorial policies, we believe that many subjects of great interest to the stu dents are destined to come up for action during the coming semester. We promise, however, not to start any controversies merely for the sake of a fight; we anticipate trouble enough without that. But, as said before, no college paper can be a success without the active assistance of the students. We invite any constructive criticism you have to offer. Especially do we solicit your contributions to the Forum. If the Nebraskan fails, the reflection on the student body is as great as that on the management Do not criticise, there fore, unless you are doing your part to make ft a success. Do your best, and we will try to do ours; and together we will work for a greater and better Nebraska. FORUM To the Editor, Daily Nebraskan: It is to be regretted that the editor of the Awgwan in his recent unjust criticism of the Innocents society did not emulate the frankness which he alleges he admires in that organization. From his vague assertions one would naturally form the opinion that the senior society as a body is taking part in some base political intrigue what, he does not tell us. SOUVENIRS and FAVORS for DINNER or DANCE We have all kinds of College and Fraterinty emblems HALLETT Uni. Jeweler Est. 1871 1143 O If such he means, his lniormauu.. and impressions could scarcely be more badly distorted. The Innocents as a body never mix In class politics. While It is true, of course, that each year certain members are active In this interesting gamein fact their activity in such things was probably the reason for their selection to thus vaguely generalize concerning the whole group Is manifestly unfair. In fact a perusal of the membership of Innocents for the last half doien years will show that a minority of the members have been "politicians." In matters political the Innocents act as individuals, concerted action being a thing unknown, and politics is never being discussed in meetings. Let us hope that whatever they may be accused of again it will not be "giv ing material aid in putting on a one sided political campaign." H. W. H. To the Editor of the Daily Nebraskan: There appeared in Thursday's Forum an article that should challenge the attention of every loyal Nebraskan. In it was expressed the ideas that are dislike dishonesty because it hurts the innocent and that our honor cannot be successfully, appealed to outside the honor-system. Certainly this is not the sentiment of any large part of the students at Nebraska. We have the emphatic statement of the world's most success ful teacher that man is defiled, not from without but from within. We have before us every day men and women whose teaching and lives bear eloquent testimony that life is more than meat." Can we live in such an atmosphere and yet denounce a practice not for what it is. but for what it does to us? No. Nebraska students have higher ideals J than that And it is unfair to credit t our dislike of dishonesty to such puny and selfish motives. I do not want to be misunderstood as censoring or opposing me nonor system. The spirit of Nebraska teaches J one to be a booster, not a Knociter. , But surely no one thinks that the mere installation of the honor system or any other system will work a trans formation. You cannot, as it were, say, ' presto change," and it is done. There must be a preponderant sense of honor in the student body to work on. That as a body we have such a sease of honor I fully believe. Surely if such is the case it is unjust to assume that our ideals and our honor are not on the job at examination time. If the assumption is untrue let us show our colors and prove to our critics throughout the state that we are real men and women and thus justify the faith of those who support this great Institution, and who sent us here that we might play a largev and a better role in life. We can if we will. D. F. S.

Call for Mermaids Miss Ina Gittings, director of physi cal education for women, urges all girls to take advantage of the oppor tunity to learn to swim. At Vassar, Wellesley and Smith, swimming is a requirement for graduation. And many of the leading co-educational schools are adding it to their list of require ments. The department of physical education Is only in keeping with the present movement where it offers to women students, this opportunity to learn to swim. Swimming proved so popular among the co-eds last semester that a class has been arranged for second semes ter, to meet from 9 to 12 o'clock, Tues day mornings at the City Y. M. C. A. INTERCLASS DEBATES SOON With the passing of exams, the mem bers of the debating teams are begin ning to work on the question of aban doning the Monroe doctrine. Much in terest Is being manifested In the Fresh man and Sophomore classes. The Freshmen have on their team a state champion high school debater as well as district champions and feel that their victory is sure; the Sophomores feel that the Sophomore class estab lished a precedent last year that must be upheld.
