The crack of a pistol, the mad dash of a row of white-Jerseyed hurdlers, the tape, and the race Is over. How comparable a semester of school Is to the obstacle track event. Registration starts the race. More than 6000 stu dents will today face their first hurdle, the begin ning of adjustment back to the classroom. From now until the end of the semester, it is a mad dash, with plenty of obstacles in the road. Pessimists, fearful of college youth, have painted appalling pic tures of the hurdles. That they are there is no to be denied. In the hurdle race, it is the few, the very fe, who fall down completely. A few others graze the cross-bars, falter, and lose their speed, perhaps their due place in the race. So it is in the University. There will be a few who will make a complete failure of the semester's race. Some will falter badly. Many will fail to achieve the maximum bene fits. Most will run a good race. So it is with The Daily Nebraskan. Today it begins its twenty-eighth year of publication. Its news columns will again attempt to' catch the high spots of the semester's race and to convey them to students, faculty, alumni, and friends of the Uni versity of Nebraska. Edited by a student staff, the only considerations governing the preparation and choice of news for The Daily Nebraskan will be those of Interest to the paper's circulation, and good taste. With hesitancy one attempts to forecast the editorial policy of The Dally Nebraskan this sem ester. Many a college editor has seen fond dream a of improvements in the classroom, on the campus, in activities and other forms of college life, "shattered. i They have been shattered by editorial inab-llty to stirOn the imagination of student bodies, the views y editors. They have been broken by the acUvefntagonism of effective cliques. They" have been defeated by the thoughtlessness of 1 js aggressive ' Students. And in the main, they lave crumpled under the speeding passage of time, few major changes, no matter how beneficial, may be brought in the course of a semester. Despite these difficulties The Daily Nebraskan has assisted in bringing about changes from tinie to time. The inter-fraternity council was stirred to action last year after violations of probation rules. JJbraiy hours were modified for the greater convenience of the students, in part at least, as the result of a suggestion in The Nebraskan. The campaign a few years ago against rented cars failed of its larger purpose but succeeded in destroying the myth that dates and rented cars Were inseparable. j A -campaign two years ago against excessive social expenditures led to a re duction in the number of down-town parties. And the pounding of several editors furnished the ground work which led last year to the abolition of the class societies. Like all college editors, all youth, the present editorial staff may change its mind on many sub jects during the semester. Consequently, The Ne braskan does not intend to list the efforts it may make nor the accomplishments which at present might be its aim. That does not mean that The Nebraskan is without a policy. It means that The Nebraskan, editorially, will attempt to think clearly on and discuss readably the major contentious subjects which arise during the semester. The Daily Nebraskan, editorially, will seek to treat live student problems, Interesting university problems. It will attempt to cultivate a larger in terest in the University of Nebraska for a fuller realization of its problems and achievements.' It will attempt to Becure the expression of student opinion. And thru .the coming months, with the advantage of time and duty for tho rigorous and In tensive study of student problems, it desires, in some measure, tlml It may not only express, but may also lead student opinion. Above all, The Nebraskan hopes that during the coming semester, Btudent thought on matters of student and world Interest, may be stimulated. THE CHANCELLOR. A chancellor without any strings attached. A chancellor in name and in fact. That is the present position of Chancellor E. A. Burnett, following action of the board of regents shortly before fie beginning of school. His appointment as chancellor was changed from appointment for one year only to an appointment for an Indefinite length of time. The Dally Nebraskan is glad to reiterate lis approval of the chancellor. Developing in the Uni versity and with the University, he is fully cogni zant of its problems. Endowed with the decision of the military leader, the reserve of the finely cul tured man, and possessed of the confidence of the majority of the state's citizenry, he has been well fitted for his present post. Beat wishes of The Nebraskan go with him in his attempts to build a better Institution, faced as he is by the crying financial necessities of the Uni versity and (he strained financial condition of the state. He Is a fit leader for Nebraska's struggle to retain Its place In tho scholastic world against the Inroads of older and wealthier Institutions. HELLO BILL! Uaces ruddy with the glow of a summer's vaca tion. Eyes sparkling at the sight of old friends back on the campus. Lawns again frowning.as students overflow the inadequate sidewalks. Football in the wind. Hundreds of new students curiously watching the old. The Daily Nebraskan welcomes former students back, back to the classrooms. Inadequate to meet the ideal needs of the state, but annually turning out hundreds of students better fitted for the travail of life. It welcomes them back to the pleasant associa tions which are an integral part of college life. It welcomes them back to the unusual opportunities for development here opened to them. The new student faces a real problem of read justment. High school and college are both school. But they are no more the same than are oranges and lemons. The University welcomes the new student with a welcome he doesn't realize. In a school of more than 10,000 annual enrollment, there is no one who can personally shake the hands and smile Into the faces of the incoming students. There is no one person who can personally advise them all. Both of these functions have received attention in the letter to new students by Chancellor E. A. Bur nett, which wa3 put in their hands during registra tion. The letter is of necessity more advice than welcome, but back of it lies the heartfelt desire of an Institution to serve youth, that educated youth may better serve the state. To such a welcome. The Daily Nebraskan joins wholeheartedly. Its best wishes to new students are here extended that they may quickly find a niche in the University that is their own. In which they may obtain the development possible In this institution. FACULTY PETTING. Grades, perennial source of argument and worry, get a new touch from the pen of A. L. Bixby in dis cussing the appointment of F. J. Kelly, Nebraska alumnus, as chancellor of the University of Idaho. While visiting in Idaho the past summer, Mr. Bixby wrote: "Heretofore students of the Idaho University have been pampered to some extent. In an address before a body of teachers at Boise yesterday. Pro fessor Kelly said university students should not be petted along with a system of grades which en courage them to think they were getting an education." THE RAGUER: There are good students In the University who weren't rushed this fall. Now that the freshmen have had their pictures taken and can be Identified, we would suggest finger printing the upper classmen. Coach Bearg took his football candidates out for a work-out Monday morning. But the freshmen were permitted to go thru the Coliseum as an opening day conditioner. The one bright spot In registration was that the upperclassmen were already registered. Students, critical, however, of registration methods may be encouraged by the news that the task has been greatly simplified since the completion of the Coliseum. The Nebraskan would like to mention the pro fessor who regularly holds his classes after the bell. But there is no need. Such reports spread as fast as pledges do when trying to escape work. Green caps are not to appear for a week. An other week before the freshmen have a chance to get acquainted with each other. Andrews Hall Is Credit to Campus Combining Beauty With Utility Contlnurd front l-Be 1. new dental units nave been in stalled in the clinic room. Battleship linoleum carpets the floors of the class rooms, offices, and clinic rooms on the third floor, while tile is used In the lab oratories and a number of the other rooms. The entire third floor it adequately lighted, both by artificial means and with num erous skylights. All walls have been given a sanded finish and have been either left a natural plaster white or finished in a soft pastel shade that is restful to the eye and makes for greater beauty of the rooms. September 13 marked the fif teenth year lor the College of Den tistry in the old Liberty Theater building. Prior to that time, since the nucleus of the College of Den tistry was organized in 1899, the Nebraska State Bank building had housed this department. The Uni versity of Nebraska did not take full control of the College until J Big, when the college became of ficially and completely attached to ths university. Before that time it had been captioned the Lincoln EeatsJ College. In 19CJ, however, th old dental school became rather superflcLtVy associated with the university in that the funda-m-m! sciences wr t&usht on the Nebraska campus. Prior to that the school had been associated w;th Cotner College. , Clinic la Moved During the fifteen years the d'-'ital clinic was located In the old Liberty building?, approximately $50,000 was expended for rent pay ments. Since moving to Andrews Hall, all worries of cramped quar ters and Inadequate facilities in the College of Dentistry have been discounted. One of the outstand ing lliings about the new equip ment in the dental department has been the laboratory equipment. It Is strictly Nebraskan, being de signed by the staff, and turned out from Nebraska mills. "It is really two steps in advance of anything that another college has in the way of laboratory equip ment," is the way Dean G. A. Grubb explains the additions. The second and first floors of the building are being used by the English and foreign language de partments.

Baseball Games All home base ball games. According to Mr. SellecU, stu dents must present their identifi cation cards at the time the stu dent season tickets are placed on sale. These cards will be punched when the student obtains his tickets, thus preventing duplica tion. This new, method employed this year will be of decided ad vantage to both the university and the students. Identification Card Used In the past years, many persons have come to the University Ac tivities office, claiming they were students of the University, and have received these tickets at a great reduction from what they would ordinarily have to pay as outsiders. This year, since each person must Identify himself as a student by presenting his card and having It punched, the university will increase Its total receipts, thereby benefitting the school a great deal. As further explained by Mr. Sel leck, "Campus organizations desir ing lo sit in one group may send one representative to purchase ticketsfor the entire organization. This representative must bring the Identification cards of the student members of the group for which he Is purchasing. The names of those members who are entitled to free admission because of their participation in athletics, will also be checked at this time. Seven sections, twenty seven rows high in the center of the east, stands have been re served for the students, this group representing the choice seats on the east sido of the field." The sale of seats In rhe official cheering section will begin Friday, Sept. 28 also, along with the sale of Btudent books. Official rooter hats will be plcaed on sale at this time, it being necessary that each student in the cheering section purchase one of these hats.
