For This Issue
OUR POLICY.
It is customary for each succeeding staff of the Nebraskan to
announce their policy. We feel that it is hardly necessary for us to
declare a new one, but we will follow as closely as possible the
original Nebraskan aim which has been the key-note of the paper
since its beginning in 1897 "that the Daily Nebraskan shall be de
nted to the daily life of this university. We realize that newspaper
work should be constructive rather than destructive and we intend to
take a definite stand in the interests of the students, faculty and uni
eisity as a whole. The motto for this semester is to be 'News up-to-date
and exact.' "
SUPPORT YOUR PAPER.
This week the business staff begins its subscription campaign.
Make it a point to have your name on the subscribers' list. The Ne
biaskan is the dally mirroi of school life at this university and you
will find it worth your while to read the paper every day. It will
unable you to distuss intelligently campus auairs and prouiems with
your friends and really to know what is going on in your school. A
dollar and a quarter is a cheap price for a daily lesson in current
events and campus civic affairs. There is no better way to show Ne
braska spirit than to support the college paper, for that paper aids all
oher activities by giving them publicity and acting as a medium be
tween the student body and school life. Subscribe now and if the
solicitor does not see you, take your money to the Student Activities
office.
SENIOR CAPS.
The balloting on senior caps this week calls to attention another
Nebraska tradition, and a very worthy one. The senior girls are
voting during registration on whether to wear caps the last two weeks
ct the semester or only on Commencement day.
In former years, many classes have worn the "Mortar-board" from
Phi Beta Kappa day till the end of the year, and at some schools,
seniors wear them ail year. It would certainly be lamentable to drop
thip tradition entirely, especially when the new plan brings about such
a happy medium. A senior cap has a peculiar significance in the his
tory of college life the significance of sixteen years or more well
spent in preparing for the big problems of life. Let us not abolish
this symbol of achievement from Nebraska university.
