OUR CREED.
Newspapers stand today, a monu
ment to humanity. Their progress is
but another measure of the progress
of civilization. They are the pace
setters for industry, politics, and one
might dare to add, religion. It is the
lot of the college paper to either fall
into the maze of capitalistic strug
gles by utterly changing its policies,
or, by suffering itself to stand alone,
remain the publication dedicated to
the service of an honorable institu
tion. Policies must be adopted by every
paper. The policies must be strong
enough and sincere enough to with
stand the attacks when occasion calls.
In the closest and most precise
words, the policies that this paper
will practice are to be outlined and
followed upon every instance.
Upon the staff there is a responsi
bility to the reader and to the Uni
versity. Feeling that responsibility,
the staff is prepared to communicate
all events within its jurisdiction,
without selfish or unworthy motives.
Recognizing a freedom that may
be abused by the press, this paper
will at no time infringe upon any
man's privacy or rights. Such prac
tices are illegal and unworthy of the
finer ideals towards which this pub
lication strives.
There must, however, be a slight
tendency toward freedom and inde
pendence of action, which may not at
all times follow the current of pub
lic opinion. If it is deemed just and
for the best interests of the thous
ands of students in this institution
to disagree with such powers as
seem to be within the category of the
eternal right, then, no attempt shall
be made to follow the crooks of the
trail. Although not being an advo
cate of sensationalism, it is compati
ble with the best interests of the in
stitution and the greater success of
this paper to dampen the ardor of
the overly ambitious.
Thus, is stated on unshackled legs,
the stand that this paper, the Daily
Nebraskan, will take at all times. It
is the firm foundation upon which
the right or wrong of action will be
referred and acted upon in accord
ance with the promises of the staff.
UNIVERSITY SPIRIT.
Freshman, today you will be as
sailed on every side by upperclass
ment who will preach University
"spirit" to you. It will mean but lit
tle to you. It will be merely a word
that you have heard associated with
moonshine and graveyards. They
will hark you to the strains of the
"Cornhusker" and your breast will
be supposed to swell with pride.
They will point at U Hall and you
are supposed to associate the glory
of Nebraska with the center of this
honorable institution. They will fill
your ears with the sacrifice that stu
dents made to build the fine sta
dium. They will tell you of the
glory of Nebraska on Homecoming
and Thanksgiving day. For months,
there will be that cry of "spirit"
ringing in your ears. Pay attention
to all of it. It may help you.
- But Freshmen, your "spirit" will
grow within you. It is not an innoc-
ulation nor can it be given to you.
"When you have lived a year at the
University of Nebraska, when you
have seen Nebraska in her glory,
when you have watched the Ivy
Day cerpmony, tapping of the Inno
cents, and returning of the gray
headed alumni, then, and then only,
will you be able to appreciate the
deep significance of this remark
able word, "spirit."
WHAT WE EXPECT.
A call is being issued today for
students to work on this Daily Ne
braskan. This call is for students
to work for students who have sin
cere motives, for those who want to
see a better paper and are willing to
contribute their time and energy to
the betterment of this publication.
Every person holding an appoint
ive position is bound by the Publica
tion Board to either work and turn
out honest material or lose his posi
tion immediately. As much is ex-
pocted of reporters. If you do not
intend tor work for the entire semes
ter, the staff prefers that you do not
start. You will be called upon to
work for the honor of the institution
alone, and not for personal gain!
People with experience are want
ed. Anyone unfamiliar with the cam
pus is not very valuable but will be
given work. For what you do, you
will be given credit. For what yu
do not do, the paper will suffer.
Merely Opinion
Nanoleon probably had no more
- t
checkered a career than has this
nnrier. The Dailv Nebraskan. Started
on its career by a young man named
Rilev. this publication has steadily
grown to its present proportions.
For many years the paper was a
private enterprise, directed by a
publication board. But recently it
has been taken over by the same
ViAnrd. and onerated under the direct
supervision of the School of Jour
nalism.
Mpmbers of the faculty have be
gun to turn the Nebraska reporters
aside with the explanation that the
news v ill be civen to the Univer
sity News Service. This paper comes
out five days a week and would like
to get the news when it is new and
not when it has been held a week
for the service released on Sunday.
There is little connection between
the news service and the Daily Ne
braskan. The staff would appreci-
.... . t 1 v
ate it if this distinction wouia De
made at all times.
Fraternities and sororities have
been rushing for several days now.
This is the time for criticism, both
adverse and favorable. Some have
urged prohibition of the early rush-
imr of people who are unfamiliar
with college. That may be well, but
unfeasible without dormitories.
When Nebraska has her rows of
dormitories where every student
must stay, then, and then only, can a
postponed rushing season become
feasible.
For many years, dormitories have
been needed at Nebraska. The girls
have a few, but so very few. Most
eastern colleges particularly the
endowed college, have a system of
dormitories. All students must stay
at them or give sufficient excuse for
staying elsewhere. With everyone
staying within a stated area, sys
tematic control of the students is
easy. College spirit grows. Ne
braska needs domitories.
This paper cannot struggle along
on its momentum. A great program
of activity is mapped out for the
year. There is possibility of a news
service that will put The Daily Ne
braskan up with the better papers in
the United States. It would give
students a morning paper with hap
penings of the world up to a late
hour in the evening. Support will
be needed for such a service.
Sport is a major form of activity
in all schools since the turning of
the century point. It used to be
literarv. Most men regret the
change. A paper cannot make the
environment, consequently, lhe
Daily Nebraskan must follow the
course and play up sports where
some might think it better to give
literature a better view.
Few Changes Made in
1923 Football Rules
Changes in football rules for 1923
hae been largely minor in nature,
devoted to clarifying the rules al
ready in force. The only important
alteration in the rules has been the
elimination of the onside kick. No
nlaver of the kicker's side, even if
he is behind the kicker, may recover
the ball until it touches an opponent
unless it does not cross the scrim
mage line. Several of the rules on
penalties have been changed
Notices.
Student Managers Attention!
All sophomore candidates for the
position of junior assistant manager
in football should report to H. D.
Gish or Jim Tyson jt the Athletic
Office in the Armory at once.
Miss Margaret Stidworthy, who
was graduated from the University
with the class of 1923, will be as
sistant in the department of kinder
garten and primary education this
year, taking, the place left vacant
by the resignation of Miss Dorothy
Hammond, who . will go to Cedar
Falls, to become a member of the
faculty of the Iowa State Teachers'
College.
Bill Riddlesbarger, letter man on
the 1922 basketball team, is coach
ing at Thomas Jefferson High School
at Council Bluffs this year. Riddles
barger, who was also a track n.an of
ability, will assist in coaching the
football team, and will be in full
charge of the basketball team, be
sides helping in baseball and track.
