Golden Rule It,
You Upperclassmeii.
With so many charming excur
sions along the byways of the
primrose path revealing them
selves to susceptible neophytes, it's
just as well that some old hand
stick in a plug for the rockier
straight and narrow. Sophomores
already are feeling, called upon to
educate the youngsters of the year,
to display their own newly won
service stripes. Juniors take care
to drop casual hints of the vast
worldliness mantling their shoul
ders. Seniors, soured and cynical,
are full of "Nichevo's" for the
morrow. But I'm telling you mugs
to lay off.
In the first place, primrosing
has hundreds of connotations to
freshmen long forgotten to up
per classmen. Most first year
students feel a definite struggle
with their consciences when they
skip their first class, take their
first quiz unprepared, bull their
first lab instructor, doublerross
their first double date, get their
first down slip, wreck their first
fraternity brother's car, neglect
to purchase their first text, coke
away their first morning. Cal
lous upper classers have all too
soon accepted such deviations
from principles as natural and
. smart.

"Respect for democratic gov

IN NEBRASKAN OFFICE
Group of 65 Prospective
Reporters Seek Work
On Campus Daily.
Sixty-five prospective reporters
appeared at the Daily Nebraskan
office yesterday afternoon to hear
their first instructions on news
getting from the managing editors,
Willard Burney and Helen Pascoe.
A larger numher of new re
porters than has attended the ini
tial meetings in previous years
found the rag office too crowded
for their group, and made it neces
sary for them to be ushered up
stairs in the building to a large
classroom.
For practice in taking down
news stories and writing them, the
reporters were given practice
stories and these were later cor
rected for them by the managing
and news editors and suggestions
made. Those who showed the most
ability were given stories to write
for the Nebraskan since the large
number of reporters present made
it impossible for all to have a try.
Reporters were asked to leave
their names, what experience on
school, weekly or daily papers they
had had, and the type of writing
which they preferred. Reporters
may come to the office for assign
ments this week and try out the
different types of news. Tempo
rarv beats will be assigned follow
ing another meeting next Saturday
afternoon.
With a goal of 250 paying read
ers, the staff ot Blue Print will
launch an intensive subscription
drive on Wednesday, Sept. 21. Gen
eral manager of the engineering
publication, Harry Langston, an
nounced Saturday that first efforts
will be concentrated on engineer
ing freshmen, followed by a per
sonal canvass of upperclassmcn
later in the week.
Publication date of tne first is
sue is still indefinite, altho all ma
terial is in, Langston said. It will
orobbaly be shortly before Oct. 10.
As in past years, original cover de
signs ate planned.
Announce Staff.
In charge of the coming issues
are Langston, general manager,
Gerald Gillan, editor, and Jay L.
King, business manager. Five reg

The aliove rather inadequate survey of university students
