THE NEBRASKAN'S POLICY
The Daily Nebraskan enters upon its ninth year under
University ownership today with unusual opportunities for
accomplishing things. Every member of the staff has
had previous experience on the paper, and with the in
crease in size which affords a more thorough and ex
tensive review of school activities the paper should make
an unprecedented record.
Though The Daily Nebraskan will instigate no particu
lar policy of reform, the best interests of the University
will always be kept in the foreground and there will be
no hesitancy to take a firm stand on any issue which will
vitally affect the University and University students.
The fact that the scholarship average of the fraterni
ties and sororities shows marked increase is another indi
cation that the Greek letter organizations are making an
attempt to improve at every opportunity.
The requirements for the honorary scholastic fraternity,
Phi Beta Kappa, have been lessened. Latin and Greek are
not necessary for eligibility, as heretofore. This will
Increase both the number of candidates and the decisive
scolastic average.
By the decision of the schoo; of fine arts to give uni
versity credit for work in music a long-felt need was
realized. The desire for a combined musical and scolastic
education has taken many students out of the state until
this year, and as a result, the new opportunity for this
combined course will obv'ously increase the University
enrollment.
