The Daily policy again-
The challenge afforded by a letter to the editor from a Mr. Stan Truhl
sen, which is printed on this page, cannot be turned down. On the merits of
the two presidential candidates, Mr. Truhlsen has a perfect right to his opin
ion, and could talk to this editor' until he was blue in the face promoting Mr.
Willkie and lambasting Mr. Roosevelt. We harbor no 111 feeling for anyone
who believes differently than we do about the political situation, who holds
a different set of political principles. But we do answer the question, "Who
formulates the policy of the DAILY NEBRASKAN!" and there is but one
answer "the editor of the DAILY NEBRASKAN."
So long; as that policy does not bring harm to the university, that pol
icy is tolerated and approved by the administration. Mr. Truhlsen states
that we have reversed our policy. For his information, this paper has never
been non-biased in its editorial policy, only in its news policy. In campus
affairs the DAILY editor has always taken his stand. In national politics,
during the last four years, there has been no opportunity afforded to take
one side or the other and no precedent of non-partisanship has been set.
Therefore, the DAILY breaks no precedent and continues in its old way.
The opinions expressed in these editorial columns are those of the editor
only. The staff of the NEBRASKAN carries out the task of keeping the news
unbiased. The editor sees that it carries out that task. But the editorial col
umns are reserved for the opinions of the editor, not necessarily his personal
opinions, but the opinions he believes will promote the welfare of the stu
dents and of everyone else in general.
The work of reflecting student opinion is carried on in the news col
umns adequately. The polls taken this fall, along with the gleanings of
the Inquiring Reporter, prove that if the editor were not allowed to pub
lish his own opinion, he would have nothing to do but sit back and repeat

opinion he would be powerless to .express himself. By publishing the news
nf the 'campus as it happens and by printing letters to the. editor, the
DAILY is fulfilling its role as official student newspaper of the University.
Mr. Truhlsen 's inconsistencies and lack of logic seem to indicate that his
letter was written hurriedly and without rereading. The editorial in ques
tion did NOT mark a change in policy; reflection of student opinion is a
major element of the DAILY policy; the NEBRASKAN is still the official
student paper.
Your cooperation requested
Yesterday, the Innocents Society mailed petitions to all fraternity and
sorority houses, besides distributing them to various unaffiliated students
for signing. The content of the petition concerns the campus parking prob
lem . mil eh discussed of late in this publication.
For once, the Innocents Society is promoting something that lias ng
argument against it. Only one point had been brought to the group's atten- '
tion so far and it concerned visiting cars, that is, those with out of town
license plates. In all probability, those cars will not be bothered unless they
are found to be habitually parked on the mall and found to be a non-student
or non-faculty car.
Otherwise, the petition is for something that .students have wanted a
long time, for something constructive, for something beneficial.
You fraternity and sorority presidents, see that your members sign the
petition ; see that it is brought to the DAILY office by noon on Tuesday of
next week. The results attained thru your help will be to your advantage,
directly or indirectly.
Barbs, if you would like to help put this petition across, come to the
DAILY office and ask for one. Each one holds 40 signatures and you can
have all you want. The chance to help is yours . . . .use it!
Dear Editor:
Dear Editor:
Yesterday's editorial marked a
change in the policy of the DAILY
NEBRASKAN. It reflected par
tisanship in the issues of the presi
dential campaign. Whether or not
this reversal of policy is advisable
is a matter of question.
A college newspaper an official
college newspaper is different
from a metropolitan paper. The
latter does not profess to be the
official organ of any group, there
lore the opinions stated in the edi
torial columns can be explained as
those of the editor and publisher
alone. While an official collegiate
paper indicates clearly that edi
torial comment on variou issues
reflects the ideas and opinions of
the students. Under these circum
stances it would seem advisable
that the editorials be non-partisan
and unbiased if the weight
ct opinion on either side is not
clear. Such is the ease on the mat
ter of third term.
The Daily's weekly polls favor
Willkie which might be an indica
tion of student opinion on the
third term. Yet you published an
editorial in complete reversal to
your poll. Can we discount the
poll as being inaccurate, or must
we resolve ourselves to the fact
that the NEBRASKAN is no
longer the official newspaper of
the university?
STAN TRUHLSEN.
Mr. Norma Harris, Editor
The Daily Nebraskaa
Dear Mr. II arris:
In the report of the address by
Dr. Morris Fishbein which was
carried by the DAILY NEBRAS
KAN on October 11, the state
ments made would give the reader
an untrue concept of Christian
Science, and the teachings and
practices of its discoverer and
founder, Mary Baker Eddy.
May I request the privileges of
your columns in order to correct
any misunderstanding in the
thought of your readers.
While it is true that prior to her
discovery of Christian Science,
Mary Baker Eddy did in some
measure investigate the claim of
the power of the human mind to
heal disease, her experiences
finally forced the conclusion that
healing was not to be found in this
way.
It was upon the revelation of
spiritual healing by the power of
God alone that the religion of
Christian Science was founded,
"for I am the Lord that healeth
thee" (Exodus 15). This revela
tion came to Mary Baker Eddy in
her great need, when, after a fall
on the ice, her physicians held out
scant hope of recovery. Being left
alone, at her own request to read
the Bible, as she read the account
of the healing of the man stricken
wtih palsy (Matthew 9:2-7), the
healing power of divine Mind,
God, came to her so closely that
she arose dressed, and to the great
amazement of those mournfully
waiting in the adjoining room, ap
peared to them, perfectly healed,
whole and free.
It is the unlimited power of
divine Mind, God, upon which
Christian Scientists rely, and to
which they turn for healing in
accordance with the teachings of
the Bible, and the unparalleled
ex&mplest of the Master, Christ
Jesus. On page 493 of her text
book, "Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy
has written, "Mind must be found

Another column for today?
Heck, man, what is there to write
about? I'm out of ideas. Sensible
women? A sensible woman is not
so sensible as she looks because a
sensible woman has more sense
that to look sensible. Nothing
there. Marriage? It's the splice
of life and I hear you can get a
good wife in China for five dol
lars. A good wife may be worth
it That's about all I could write
about marriage. I guess there
Just wont be a column for today.
You say write about a college stu
dent. A couple of lines tells the
whole story. A college student is
like a kerosene lamp not very
bright, smokes, often goes out at
night, and usually gets turned
down. Whole life history. There
isn't anything to write about. May
be we could write about the cosmic
whirlpool of concentric mudspecka.
Speck no one would understand.

The thing they like to draw best
is their salary. What more can
be said? Then you suggest lying.
All covering that subject can be
summed up in one sentence. Many
a true word has been spoken thru
false teeth. I gueia there just
won't be a column for today.
