Subscription, per semester Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second-class mall matter, under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. . AN INSULT WITHOUT REASON Students do not have to go far in in the city of Lincoln to discover that they are hated by a certain class of people. These persons are those who learn only by what is placed before them by way of spec tacle. Consequently they have formed their opinion of the "rah-rah" boy from Company Q parades and other similar outbursts of enthusiasm. They will never learn differently, because they have no desire to do so. But now something happens that brings to the students with particular force the painful fact that this opin ion is more prevalent than it was formerly thought to be. One of the city papers last evening published an alleged interview with a member of the Lincoln police force. In which the officer is supposed to have said that the burglaries now so prevalent are being committted by students. Just what is meant by this? There are many classes of students in Lin coln, and the term is Inclusive of alL Does he mean' that the students are as a class responsible for a large number of criminals? Does he mean that the worst problem now facing the police is the keeping of representa tive young people of the state within the law? Or does he mean mat one or two demented persons who call themselves students have been de tected taking the property of some one else. An explanation is clearly due. We will admit that wooden Indians have sometimes found their way into the homes of students; we will concede that , business signs have decorated the walls of persons to whom they do not belong; but we deny that the students of the University of Nebras ka are responsible for any wave of crime that is annoying the police of Lincoln. Yet those in other places who read this alleged interview will conclude that Omaha may have her Tenth street gang. Chicago her "Hell's Half Acre," but Lincoln has her student body. "MINERVA" TELLS UNI. GIRLS OF JOURNALISM FOR WOMEN (Continued from page 1) "How about the people you work with?" I suggested. Meets Interesting People "Inside the office as well as out side," she replied, "the girl In news paper work has unusual opportunities of associating with Interesting people. It is my experience that newspaper people, from the veriest cub up, are ambitious, broad-minded, clannish, educated and thoroughly worth while. They are always ready to help each other and eager to see each one make good. The girl who asks no special favors because of her sex will find no opposition to her on that ground from the men Journalists. "I think general reporting Is valu- i . . .nmon a. means uuiw an end only. It Is broadening t rub elbows with all classes, teaches tact r.d stilf-confldence in approaching all manner of persons, breaks a girl of a common tendency to be self cen tered (the fault of adoring parents), develops democracy, accuracy, brev ity in expressing thoughts and teachea most valuable lessons in sensing appraising events from the human In terest appeal they have to the general reading public "However, there is an irregularity about peneral reporting which girls generally don't like. We are fond of doing things on schedule time, do not find rush and confusion especially fascinating. Sometimes, also, in gen eral reporting, boldness and persist ence have to be carried to undesirable extremes. "Feature and publicity work are phases of journalistic work especial ly suited to women, I think. "Interviewing Is one feature of journalism at which women are often particularly adept going behind the scenes of celebrities' lives and writ ing in a chatty, sympathetic vein of human, everyday fetaures of those live. A woman who has a personality and appearance which inspires confi denceand confidences is a success fuf Interviewer. "Newspapers are catering more to women's activities, and a woman's page editor nowadays holds a respon sible position. She does not merely ihronlcle club end society events, but on a large paper, directs a corps of assistants in reporting the activities of women, and the many allied inter ests of women civics, city beautifica tion and sanitation, household prob lems and up-to-date, scientific ways of handling them, conservation of health, fashions, markets, shop news, etc. . Less Sob-Sister Stuff ! "'Sob-sister stuff is giving way to feature writing of a more substantial nature, I believe. The writing oi women's editorials, such as those be- in written for a New Yonc paper by Rheta Childe Dore, a University of Nebraska product, is growing in noDularity. Well informed women who can discuss questions of the day from a woman's point of view are in demand; this Is a new departure in journalism growing apace with the in terest taken in public affairs by the women." Women publicity experts are in de mand. There are many 'causes and institutions which require publicity through newspapers, special organs, bulletins for general distribution, etc. Corps of such workers are employed by the Women's Christian Temper ance union, the equal suffrage organ izations, the Young Women's Chris tian associations, organizations op posed to child labor, organizations to fight contagions, such as tuberculosis, historical associations, child better ment and other features of conserva tion, etc. It is through general news paper work usually that an alert girl learns these phases of publicity work, and can secure such connections If she wishes. The translation of the work of specialists into the language and stories that appeal to the general reading public is most fascinating and high grade journalism, I believe. Newspaper Service 'Newspapers are developing wars of riving service to their readers through question and answer depart ments. Information bureaus and de partments and . campaigns conducted by experts. The larger newspapers hire clever persons to launch and car ry on campaigns, of soclalogical and civic importance. For Instance, the New York World, and many other papers, sent Santa Claus ships to war ring countries, raising the money, etc through newspaper campaigns; a woman writer for the World Investi gated and Inaugurated the Penny Lunch plan for feeding school chil dren, which has spread over the coun try. Miss Sophia Irene Loeb on the same paper conducted a campaign last winter which resulted In ths securtnf nf the Widowed Mothers' Pension law, and she and other women writers worked in behalf of the school chil dren in athletics, gardening and other directions, giving medals to encour age children in following worth while pursuits. What was more frivolous but probably equally interesting were pretty girl contests, which resulted in sending a number of ' to the ex position, and dress contests. These are only a few examples of the kind of feature writing which Is fas cinating and worth while in which women writers are making successes. Such feature work is carried on on papers of almost all cities the size of Lincoln and larger In the coun try."
