EDITORIAL STAFF Jack Fischer Associate Editor MANAGING EDITORS Irwin Ryan Virginia Selleck NEWS EDITORS George Plpal Marylu Peterson Arnold Levin Johnston Snipes Dorothy Bentz SOCIETY EDITORS i, Dorothea Fulton Jane Walcott BUSINESS STAFF Truman Obernderf Business Manager ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGERS Bob Funk Bob Shellenberg Bob Wadhams We Break A Tradition. IT Is tradition that Daily Nebraskan editors, In inaugurating- each new regime, sagaciously preach a sermon designed to steer the new generation of undergraduates along the course of ideal university life, and, at the same, outline their editorial poli cies for the coming year. For freshmen, we present elsewhere our advice. As to policies, the new editor makes bold to defy tradition and declare that there will be no hard and fast rule to govern the course and direction of his editorial efforts. Suffice to say that the Nebraskan Intends to represent to the best of its ability the in terests of the student body and of the university, which, altho perhaps at times somewhat at variance, may be said to strike a happy medium. The Nebraskan will seek to be critical but not In a destructive sense; if improvement cannot be suggested together with criticism, the editorial tongue will be held. The Nebraskan will strive above all else to be fair and to present both or all sides of any question. Criticism and suggestions as to news and editorial policy will be welcome. For those who wish to un leash a few epistolary thunderbolts, the Studei t Pulse column Is open, in fact, we issue a blanket appeal to all students to utilize this column in airing their gripes Instead of constantly plaguing a few fellow students with caustic remarks about "pet peeves." There is much on the campus which cries for Improvement and revision. By no means is it con fined to undergraduate activities, however, for cer tainly faults exist also In the realms of faculty and administrative procedure. It is with all these things that the Nebraskan proposes to deal. There should be no reason why Nebraska should not be the best university in the Middlewest, why its campus should not be the most beautiful, its faculty the finest, its students the most prominent, its a' letic teams champions, in short, the "tops" in every field. The fact that this ideal situation is far re moved from the reality we encounter is proof of th$ work and thinking to be done. The editor has no illusions or beliefs that his com ments will be of such Importance as to radically alter existing structures and customs, but In the hope that some small measure of good may be at tained, the Daily Nebraskan dedicates its news and editorial columns to the advancement of every phase of the University cf Nebraska's activities. see The Dally Nebraskan exists primarily to serve the student body. While it may not and often can not present all the services it would draire, it shall be the staff's aim to so portray and represent un dergraduate life and interests that the Nebraskan will become a vital part of every student's university existence. With this idealistic goal, we make our bow. Some Words for Freshmen. This week the campus will open its doors and bid welcome to a bumper crop of freshmen, which, if predictions are borne out, may approach the 2,000 mark and exceed all records for recent years. Al tha the advent of the new class signals the begin ning of a week which will tax the endurance, pa tience, and good nature of old and new students alike, the abundant legions of freshmen are being received with open arms. Advice for the neophytes is dished out in de pression, quantities each fall as advisers, adminis tration guardians, and campus sophisticates set forth in turn the requirements of the ideal freshman and chart a caourse to guide him through the stormy seas of undergraduate endeavor. The Nebraskan will waste little time in at tempting to advise a group of young men and wom en who probably can take more than good care of themselves. Certainly they are here with some defi nite motive in mind, and whether it be true, as someone has stated, that one-third of our college students come to school to learn something, a sec ond third comes to have a good time, and the re maining third comes to get married, the fact that they are here is evidence enough to brand them as intelligent. The Nebraskan is content to dwell on one point and then commend the class of 1939 to its own keeping. Not too strongly can it be urged that every student entering the university for the first time take it upon himself to take in every phase of university life which he possibly can. Cultural, professional, and departmental organ izations and activities to satisfy every student inter est and ambition abound on the campus, serving as valuable adjuncts. to classroom work while remain ing recreational in nature. Extra-curricular activi ties offer yet another attractive avenue for under graduate enterprise in the fields of student govern ment, athletics, publications, and class organiza tions. It is this side of the university which really Uvea It is this phase of education which adds color and interest to an otherwise monotonous and drab routine. No student can shut himself in his room with his books, deny himself associations and recre ation with hia fellow students and hope to leave the university with value received. If he is to realize his full measure of enjoyment from college he will seek out his fellow student beyond the study hall and pursue those activities which fit his particular interests. The university's goal for every student Is a well-balanced schedule of work and recreation throughout his college career. If this happy situa tion is not realized, certainly it is not because the university has failed to do its part. The opportu nity for an enjoyable college career awaits every member of the class of 1939; the responsibility of attaining it rests squarely on the shoulders of each individual student.
