LET THEM RIDE
A free bus line between the city ami njrri
pulturnl campuses, tin Student Council's latest
inspiration, is one of t lie most worthwhile proj
ects proposed in a long while. To carry the
promotion to a successful conclusion would
more than erase charges of apathy so plentiful
when the council is discussed. But even a
permanent reduction in rates for university
students would place this year's group on the
brief list of those that have gained a worthy
victory.
The present transportation service has
long been a costly item to ag college stu
dents and a steep obstacle to the uniting of
the two schools, but it required the building
of a Union at one end of the line to thrust
this need for a free, or at least inexpensive, -system
into the spotlight.
Because of the inconveniences of the pres
ent set-up, suggestions have been advanced to
move various Union activities to the ag col
lege. But certainly the council is acting more
logically by moving to arrange the bringing
of students to the Union, rather than taking
the Union to the students, for the success of
both depends upon the co-operation of all.
Next week the organized campaign will
be launched. Collecting student reaction and
opinion v ill be the first step. But this will
mark only the beginning, not the extent, of
every student's duty in this movement.
Several feasible plans have already been
considered by 1 he Council committee. None
has yet been' selected as the fool proof path
to jiccomplishnn nt. Only Ihru concerted ef
fort and active interest can every possible
melhod be deliberated. It is each and every
student's duty to advance his ideas and his
plan to accomplish a purpose which will be
of inestimable value both spiritually and fi
nancially to a large percentage of the under
graduate bod v.
The DAILY NEBRASKAN urges the
student council to utilize every possible type
of psychology to arouse in the students an
active and sincere interest. This project is
too beneficial, too worthwhile to meet defeat.
With student concern aroused, it cannot be
defeated.

Dear Editor:
rvrhiips this is just another one
of tlio.se Student l'ulses written
with a il'ith of information in
hand, if so please correct the er
rors. The slogan of our new tabloid
newspaper is "The Official News
paper of More Than 0,000 Stu
dents." Don't you think that this
is sneering irony in view of the
size of our ordinary day to day
scandal sheet? Towns much
smaller than the university en
rollment support a decent sized
daily, why can't the university do
likewise ?
Now let's see how you are going
to refute an argument for a good
newspaper. First, you say there
isn't enough news to justify a
large newspaper. Hundreds of
"live" stories are being turned into
the offices from which the editors
must remove a few eligible stories
before they hit the waste paper
basket, but with the small sized
sheet much fewer stories may be
printed.
Why do students read a college
newspaper? Not for current
events, not for general sports, but
for happenings of the campus or
ganizations to which they belong
or have an interest. Nothing in
cites careful reading more than

the possibility of seeing your name
in print. Is the present DAILY
NEBRASKAN doing this? Stones
are cut and then cut again.
Rprond. vou will sav ads are the
life blood of the paper in furnish
ing money for operations. It is
granted that the paper must sen
ads to gain money but by giv
ing overdoses of ads even this pur
pose is tlefeated.
That thr DAILY NEBRASKAN
is an inefficient medium of contact
with students is evidenced by the
rffmts of the Student Union to
contact students by mail to inform
them or activities taking piacc.
This is meant to be constructive
but you will probably laugh and
say nothing workable has been
suggested. No doubt this is true
but stating the problem in the form
of a syllogism we have this. Make
the DAILY NEBRSKAN more
readable, increase story coverages
so that every student will find
something interesting to rend and
you will find that circulation will
leap, they will want to see the
"rag," they will want to cwn thei"
own to cut out clippings for a
scrap book and advertisers will
olamor for space at increased
prices.
Let's aim for a bigger, better,
more complete desirable DAILY
NKBRASKAN.
A Disgusted Reader.
Society of other
lands disapproves
handshakes, kisses
Handshakes, smiles and kisses
are just old American customs.
Best society as dedicated by Em
ily Post in Africa, Polynesia and
Alaska use a different set of rules.
When Mr and Mrs. Ubangl of
Congo have open house for some
of the natives, they get out super
hankies and prepare to give their
friends a welcome of tears. Every
one from junior on up to grand
ma knows that the height of rude
ness would be a smile, and all show
best etiquette by weeping and sob
bing. Out on the sunny shores of Poly
nesia, a social dowager must
stroke her face with the guest's
hand if she is to remain in the
upper crust. And up in the chillier
climate of Alaska, an Eskimo licks
his ha' id and then proceeds to rub
it over his face and that of his
pals. The Fuegians in saluting
have a hug "like the grip of a
bear."
"Smell me" good night.
After a date with Lotus Flower,
a Japanese Casanova would never
ask for a kiss, but he might ex
pect her to brush her eyelashes
against his cheek. Mongols and
Polynesians never say "kiss me"
but "smell me." They enjoy a
pastime of rubbing noses.
When Tom Sawyer and Huck
Finn pledged fiiendship and confi
dence, they signed a pact in blood.
However in Africa such boys
would pledge friendship by spitting
on each other.

. . this telephone idea can help you
WHILE you're in college, you're on the consumer
Mtle of the fence. There you'll find the "Where
to Buy It" section of your Telephone Directory a
quick, easy way to discover who sella what you want.
After graduation, you may be on the other side of
the fence, too the seller's side. As a manufacturer or
distributor of an advertised product you will find clas
sified telephone directory listings a most effective and
economical way to direct buyers to the dealers han
dling your product.
This directory service, tying up the national adver
tiser with tbei local distributor of his product, is just
one of many Hell System ideas that help to increase
the value of your telephone.
