VrITH thi opening of a new achool year and a Changs of administration in the Dally Nebras kan offices, It is customary for the editor to Hut a series of tenets and principles which are to comprise his policy during his semester in office. The in- eominr editor hopes to be honeat both wttn mm . self and with his readers in following a policy which Its fcepes trill b characterized by c"T.utnt libera! thought and attitude. During its many years of existence the Daily . . . j i ... . .M.rv. a4 a mnrm mrA mora aNeurasKaa nu BLCo.iiMjr " - - imnortant role as purveyor of campus news, co-or- ; dlnator of activities, and interpreter of trends and developments on the campus. To three groups the Nebraakan is duty-bound to the student body, to the administration, and to the people of the state. Since the paper is a permanent Institution, each of its staffs must work for the best interests of the university, and In many cases the editors encounter difficulty in using foresight instead of momentary prejudices jn writing editorials during the semester. Although the Nebraskan exists with the prl rary purpose of serving the student body and co "ordinating campus activities, it is imperative that tn cases where momentary student Interests con t'flict with rather permanent university interests the ??sbrxsksn support ths university administration, This Is a fact because the student body is constantly ' changing, the university is permanent, and its treat ment of and contact with future generations of stu at...f ! a naramniinr Imnortanee. Being watchful of the university's best inter ests doern't necessitate the presence of blind pa triotism. Changes might be fc the good of the school. As a general rule the Nebraskan policies in re gard to the administration are quite the same in Character from year to year. This is because the -administration is quits the same In character, and ihs editors ars in a constant state of rronderment y to ths reasons for conservatism In some instan ces. ; Policies concerning student activities are ever changing, because the editor is often in the midst of them, snd finds, sad to say, that he can't main tain an objective outlook toward his little student world. Student activities have suffered a severe badgering at the hands of disappointed editors in ths past, and those who have attained a fair mea sure of success are too often conservative. The new editor's policies In regard to student activities are listed below. a A S before the Nebraskan will now take stands on campus questions and affairs. If the readers dont agree with some of the beliefs of the editor they are welcome to set down their arguments In thej. Student Pulse column. And if they do agree wita editorial opinions In all probability they can help push ths program along with confirmation and supplementing in Student Pulse letters. -. The new editor Is aware of ths fact that his predecessors have yelled themselves hoarse only to meet In most cases with blunt, die-hard oppo sition. In view of ths fact that last year saw a rather complete political turn-over In the field of student activities, the editor wishes to remind those In office that there has been virtually no Improvement m the campus political situation. Except for a changed Corn Cob constitution and altered Innocents mem bership requirements no changes have been made, and ths system Is the same as ever. On this campus merit enjoys more success than it does on many others, but it should experience mors than at pres ent. a a TKa new regime seemingly has control of the ttudsnt Council. This year ths Student Council caa play ths dirtiest politic If it is so Inclined. However, ths Nebraskan insists that measures of great concern and Importance to this and future atudsnt bodies can be worked over and passed by tbs present governing body. We hope It is possible f f ths Student Council to keep its fingers out of tL tkjUUcjU pie and apply Itself to some of the more t: porUat problems such as the following: . Coldest Union Building ' Eideat Co-operative Bookstore. ? Varsity Parties " ; '."Tf " ;aJeat Activities Tax ' Hiiitary PriO. . . . ' Tt? U no time better than ths present to jr.;t w-)rk on a Student Union building fund. Fed t taonfy for ths erection of the structure was al i .t secured last year, but the bard-working com r :.: met wiia failure. This year ths Innocents r -t7 elana to take up ths matter, and with the c---rsrat!cn of ths Student Council sees hope of b-ttj wiia success. Fricea oa second hand books have been too ! ' . Ercauje of this, a Student Council commlt- s . v -1 a tppcintel to consider ths possibility of a Student Ce-tperative Boeicstore on V. f4r-r-:;. Tfc TVTCA has been of servics to the : :ot by cperaliof a Swap Book Shop in the Tem . v ; ' ;-r but quart era have been too small to vwk-ra to take care of S large percentage ' . ' s.t boUy. If student book buyers will support the dwap Shop early this yaar perhaps the regular book establishments will see fit to lower their exorbitant prices in the face of a boycott. Varsity Parties of the sort suggested by the Student Council last year would be ideal if they worked out as general student mixers, and enabled those present to have a good time. Such parties, operated by a Student Council committee were tried several years ago, snd encountered marked lnck of success. Poslably a committee comprised of four Barbs and four Greeks could operate financially and socially succesaful dances in the coliseum. If the council still has ths bug, the Nebraskan favors a couple of tries. Although the Student Activities Tax is becom ing a campus joke, and soon will be used for pun ning only, unless something Is done about its dis posal, its adoption would be a decided boon to stu dent activities, particularly athletics and publica tions. The Nebraskan suggests that the often- mentioned and incessantly-lazy Student Council do something about or with it immediately. Further more, we urge that underclassmen handle the pro position, because the lack of interest on the part of graduates has been responsible for failure so far. The next time it Is presented to the Regents we ask that all pages be Included in the document submitted. If the Military Drill question weren't so oppres sive and obnoxious it too would rank as a campus Joke. Thru-out the country during the last few years there has arisen a wave of resentment against compulsory military drill in colleges and universi ties, and considerable revulsion against condition ing individuals with the military attitude. The Nebraskan insists that Military Drill should be an elective course rather than compul sory. Freshmen and sophomores would be re quired to take either military drill or physical edu cation. There is no reason why university young men and no others should be subject to compulsory military training and conditioning. If the Student Council is so inclined it can take radical steps toward establishment of elective military drill. But beyond the Student Council lies the Board of Re gents the members of which proved to be unrea sonably conservative Beveral years ago when they considered the problem. At that time the Student Council voted against compulsory ROTC. It seems that at present the organization of the Student Council is better than any other sys tem thus far suggested. Last spring there was a flurry about politics, inactivity and the council, but the conservatives won out, and seem to have been right In that case. Finally, the Nebraskan urges the Student Council to replace dabbling with action! ypTH. co-operation from the student body the aamimstration can arrange a aeries or guuu eonvocatlona, addressed by eminent speakers from many sections of the country. Student leaders have been under the misapprehension that those respon sible for the lack of convocations were the faculty and administration. As a matter of fact, before the administration can venture into the field, it must be assured of student support by attendance. The Nebraskan believes that there is over emphasis of football at this university, but it is convinced that the over-emphasis results in enough good to Justify it A growing and improving Intra mural program is financed by football receipts to some extent. Now that unaffiliated students are organizing intramural athletics under the supervi sion of the intramural director, the program is rapidly nearing a degree of perfection, This paper is for bigger and better intramural programs. This campus needs no more honorarles. The Nebraskan hopes no more departments permit the organization of such groups for the benefit of climb ers who failed to rate already-established honor arles. Rallies have been too numerous and weak in the past. The Nebraskan feels that a decrease in the number of rallies would result in better demon strations. Innocents society should retain its sup ervision of rallies. Corn Cobs are back In good grace at least temporarily and we hope permanent ly. That depends on what they do in the way of In stilling pep instead of perpetuating politics. Scholarship of course should rank as more im portant than student activities in the university. However, student activities have their purpose, and some Interest outside of the classroom are needed by most students to keep them mentally awake and socially satisfied. This fact is proven by the fact that students in activities make slightly better grades than nno-actlvity students. It seems more than probable that participation in extra-curricular activities on the part of most students is desirable. THE DAILY NEBRASKAN university are pledged befors they ars given a period of time adequate for making a final snd satisfactory decla'lon. At many schools freshmen ars not permitted to Join a fraternity or sorority until the end of the first semester In school or the termination of their first year.

MO STARTUNQ deviations from the general trends In regard to student scholarship ars noted in the scholarship report of ths 163S-10S4 second semester, which was Issued last week by ths ad ministration. Following the general rule, the general aver. ages rose during the second semester from the level of tha first half of the year. Women's averages stayed on a plane high above men's standings, and tha rather unaccountable situation of non-fraternity men's averages standing above those of Greek men persisted. Although there were no marked shirts in ten dencies from those indicated by ths report In past years, thcrs is ono tendency of several years stand ing to be noted: the general standard Is declining from year to year. The cause of this decline may bs ascribed to ths depression, and psychological handicaps result ing from financial exigencies, doubts as to the ulti mata worth of an education, and worries concerning the room bilL In addition to this, thcrs Is the fact that many students find it Impossible to devote a proper amount of time to studies due 10 ouisiue work. The Increased seriousness In attitude lm pelted by present-day conditions doesn't seem to be sufficiently strong to off-set the mental troubles. Again Howard Hall, women's cooperative house, ranks at the top In point of scholarship. That group Is to be highly commended for 1U record In scholarship, established while the members are working out the comparatively new cooperative house plan. Standards always rise during the second sem ester because the Incapable are weeded out, study habits ars established, and those who were low on the scale during the first semester determine to establish a better record during the second half of ths year. . .

J " IB 0 A Plehe Caps Popular With Freshmen On California Camput Freshmen on the University of Caifornla campus seem to have gotten over their aversion for their erstwhile aetestea Diue ana goia freshmen caps, according to ths Dally California!!, campus publica tion. Profesaors have been complain lng that the frosh seem to like Greetings to Freshmen. -po newcomers on the university campus the Dally Nebraskan wishes to extend a welcome, and through its columns it hopes to be helpful to the puzzled. You freshmen are due to meet with many sit uations wholly different than any you have been forced to cope with before. You will find that the system of classes is different than that encountered in high schools, and you will be treated as adults, capable of adjusting yourselves to a new environ ment The Nebraskan hopes you make the adjust ment successfully. Nature's law dictating the survival of the fit test operates In the university. You will find that in order to remain in school you must apply your selves more diligently than before to your tasks assigned by instructors. You will find that much more can be learned from courses if you do enough routine work and more thinking than is necessary to get by. Intellectual curiosity Is something there is too little of. Some educators have suggested that the students ask the professor a few questions for a change. At present it seems to be quite the mode for the professors to ask all the questions, and give their listeners only ths Information they wish 4to divulge. You will no doubt encounter a few mem bers of the university faculty who can't find the time to answer sensible questions. They are to be avoided. A comprehensive advisory system has been long In existence on the campus. Ths advisory priv ilege is often abused by both freshmen and advisors or not utilised by ths freshmen. Such opportunities for contacts and good suggestions shouldn't b passed up by new students. Often they have so.. advice that vitally affects a student's career us ually to the student's advantage. Ths wisdom of ths ages may have something in store for you. You who ars being rushed by Greek letter or ganisations shod not bs too hasty in making a selection. Too often a new student after ha baa been on the campus for a time, finds that he has chosen the wrong group of men as brothers, one which doesn't suit hia temperament ideala, or bank account It is unfortunatt that newcomers to ths Sava money and rant our rood can.
