Story Changes
School Starts
Com inj? back to school is an old story. Start
ing: ont the new semester on the Nebraskan
happens every fall. But this year everything
except the actual event "coming back to
school" is different. Along with it, the paper
must change to meet the needs and interest
of a campus made up almost entirely of coeds
and men in uniform.
We have a new policy on the staff. Nothing
unusual or original, except, perhaps, on college
newspapers. From now on the Nebraskan will
emphasize war news on the campus stamp
and bond sales, men in training in the AtiTT,
Air Corps, and STATl units, individual and
organizational war efforts. ' And, instead of
social activities, we'll try to concentrate on
.studies, on getting the most out of school even
tluring such trying times.
Then, too, we'll try to further our attempt
of the past half-century to cover every bit of
news on the campus, to write it up briefly and
clearly, to give you entertaining bits of infoiv
ination on people and things, and to present
features you'll enjoy.
Due to decreased circulation and increased
printing costs, the Nebraskan will come out
only three times a week for the duration, on
Sunday (or Monday), Wednesday and Friday.
If you have anything you especially want us
to cover, or some gripes you want to air (pro
vided they're helpful criticism) we want to
hear from you. livery student can help make
the Nebraskan a better paper."
Women Assume
UN Leadershij
(Jills, girls, girls it seems to be a
year this time. No more men to compete with
them in activities. No more men to fill the
largest share of seats in the classroom. Very
few members of the masculine sex back in
school, in civics, in fact.
Most of the men's activiies have gone off
the campus for the duration. Innocents have
little activity scheduled. The Corn Cobs and
Kosmct Klub declared themselves inactive
while all their members were off to war. And
the publications find themselves almost com
pletely staffed bv women.
On the other hand, coed groups may have
a big year in the offing. Tassels will have to
carry all the eflort of keeping up schol spirit.
Y. W. C. A. and Coed Counselors have some
thing to offer all students, particularly fresh

smoothly.
The University Theatre will find itself with
a predominantly feminine east, the band and

pletely women's organizations, and the football

Boucher Talks To Frosh
At Opening Convocation
Last year V-Mail by no means lacked for
news of former Nebraskans serving the armed
forces, but this year keeping up with the trans-
ferrals, promotions and barrack room bull of
the enormous Cornhusker army, navy and
marine corps will be a long job.
To obtain its news of service men this
column uses official releases sent out by the
miblic relations departments, co-operates with
the alumni office and reads all the letters it
can obtain, passes along reliable word-of
mouth information, carries on a lengthy V
Mail correspondence with as many UN men as
nnssible and leaps to interview whoever is
ucky enough to pull a furlough.

junior men, infantry, are at Camp Roberts
Calif., and the engineers are at Camp Abbott,
Ore. Senior men went from here to a five week
refresher course at Fort Riley, Kas., and from
there as openings were created at various
officer candidate schools, the infantry landed
at Fort Bcnning, (la.; the field artillery at
Fort Sill, Okl., and the engineers at Fort
J el voir, Va.
Navy and marine reserves were called
toward the middle of summer, and are more
scattered about the country, with a larire
'roup of navy V-7 at Columbia university,
New York, and at the naval training station
at Chicago. A group of Nebraska marines are
stationed at Creat Lakes, 111.
Eight second year advanced ROTC students
were returned from Fort Riley to re-enter
school in September and receive their degrees
at the end ot this semester. These eight are
now stationed at the Don L. Txive Library.

In August we traveled 90,000,000 passen
ger miles an all-time high! Some passcn
gers were crowded, which we regret. But w
would rather he crowded than to leave on

Now that the peak is passed, travel may
be less crowded. If your trip is essential
it's wise to see your agent well In advance.
Travel light and be on time. Thus can you
