come unless the barb party puts in its bid for
elective recognition. A break in the Greek faction
will not help the fraternities and sororities. It will
be detrimental to the barb party. The elections
will be held exclusively by and for affiliated stu

The Daily has no intention of fostering petty
factional politics, but if student government is to
be continued, if the student council is going to

student affairs is to be retained, the time has come

Editor's
Foreword
"When a new editor is appointed and his first
publication date arrives, he senses a slight ap
prehension that, perhaps, the job is too bip for
him. Yet as the typewriters start pounding
out their stories and the presses grind out
paper after paper, fresh and new, his confi
dence returns, his aims seem clear, his hopes
abound, and he is eager to tackle his job.
The Daily Nebraskan this semester from the
editor on down makes no promises. Some of
our plans will fail. Some of our hopes will
melt. All we can do is try. And try we will
to give you the most interesting, readable, and
factual Daily Nebraskan the campus has ever
seen. That is our goal. That was the goal of
editors gone by. Their success and ours is
measured in your satisfaction with our efforts.

General John J. Pershing, former commandant
of university cadets, wired Chancellor Avery that
he was unable to come to Lincoln to fulfill his
his engagement as commencement speaker, due
to newly developed circumstances. The general's
other engagement was in France as the leader of
the first expeditionary force of American troops.
Four hundred coeds dressed in white and wear
ing the Red Cross emblem were the most im
portant factor in the Red Cross "clean-up" cam
paign as the university contributed more than $500
to the fund.
June 5 was the date set by the president for
registration for selective draft for all men between
the ages of 21 to 31. Governor Neville issued a
proclamation making that day a public holiday and
calling on the citizens of the state to aid in making
registration a success. The responsibility for regis
tering rested with the individual. No one was com
pelled to do so but after June 5 imprisonment
was in order for those persons not carrying regis
tration certificates.
A real war task for college girls consisted of
washing dishes for farmer's wives and working
upon farms during the summer by helping with
the chores.
Of interest to medical students was the an
nouncement "that by no means are the under
graduate classes of the medical school to be stripped
for immediate service in the medical corps of the
army and navy."
University men were also entered In the special
canning course offered at the state farm. The
course was to be of special interest to men because
it demonstrated the art of canning on a wholesale
scale.
