Royal Flush for Frosh
For four years the cards have been decisively stacked
against the University of Nebraska s entering frosh and
against it's holdover sophomores, juniors and seniors. "We
wuz robbed," we have screamed in righteous indignation as
we attended a college minus everything that once con
stituted "college life."
Yes, we were robbed, but now the time has come for
some of the stolen goods to come back to the students. For
that reason it is with a big "Whew and sigh of relief that
we old timers greet the large crop of freshmen who are to
day completing their registration in the University of Ne
braska. We aren't heaving that sigh iust because there is
a large freshman class, but also because these new students,
who are entering a university new to them in a time new
to all of us, are the ones who will make the university sit
up and take notice as it hasn't in the past four tired years
since Pearl Harbor.
Those of us who have been here for the past year or
two or three are strictly old hats. We came unto a war
time university and got our enthusiasm dampened from the
start by war-time rulings and limitations. We saw the
ROTC leave, formals banned and fraternities close. We
rolled surgical dressings and doubted the existence of men
as the women took over the campus. We knew the deck was
stacked against us so we just didn't give a hoot.
UN's new class of 1949 doesn't know about the past
several years and how sick we got of them. They know
only that they have entered a great university in time of
peace and that they are fully prepared to make the most of
it. "We don't think they will be the racoon-coat college stu
dents of 1920, but they will be the class that will bring back
the Corncobs, Kosmet club, formal social functions, coke
dates they'll yell their heads off at football games and
maybe they'll even infect the rest of us with their en
thusiasm. The old guard is tired and just a little bit indifferent
to college life, mostly because we don't knokn what college
life is. But we are more than willing to learn. We want
to see the university regain its proud pre-war standards,
see its spirit resurrected from the grave where it has lain
dormant tor too long, and we know it s up to the freshman
It is their university now, their peace time college life, their
oaoy to take care of and raise right for themselves, for the
Doys wno are back from service and for those that will be
back soon.
Rejuvenating a tired university is no small job, but it
will be safe in the hands of the clas sof 1949. They're hold
ing a royal flush, those freshmen, and the old guard is bet
ting on them to start the new era of peace-time college with
a mrgv ana sustaining isainu;

and a good hour's time, telling the
readers what the column isn't,
For instance, if this editor wet
to attempt to give a bird's-eye
view of what this column were

the column has no plan nothing
in particular will appear in it
it is not to explain world events
in the college students' language
it is not to explain campus po
litical affairs, which no one can
understand in any language it
is not a bulletin of campus gripes
the reader will probably never
see an apology in it in fact the
reader will probably never see
anything in it if it has a reader
it is grossly overrated. And that
completes the tradition of all UN
columnists.
To get down to the facts which
should have been in the first par
agraph, in this space may often
appear the musings of that great
est of campus FBI investigators,
Count Hottentottenpottentate. Last
Monday Count Etc. wandered over
to the coliseum in the process of
carrying out an order to "find
out what was going: on about cam
pus." He was immediately con
fronted by a young freshman who
had staggered out the door
mumbling, "liiines, lines cages,
caaards let me out, let me out!"
Thinking at first that the young
man was drunk Count Etc. walked
over to give him a helping hand,
then he realized it was much more
serious. With the aid of a few
passers-by the delirious frosh was
maneuvered into the L'ni and
made to swallow some black cof
fee. Gradually he began to show
signs of regaining his senses and
blurted out the following story to
his companions:
"I went in there innocently and
unarmed, without any warning of
what I was getting into. I was
shoved and pushed toward a table
where I finally found myself in a
chair facing an unsmiling, lion
like countenance which I rre-
sumed was my advisor. He asked
my name and then scribbled down
some words on four sheets of pa
per and handed them to me. When
I asked him what that was he said
it was my schedule for the com
ing year and to move on. 'But I
don't want to take physics and
Spanish,' I protested weakly a
withering look sent me scurrying
on my way. Then came the lines
lines to the right of me, lines to
the left of me!
(Here the frosh had a slight
relapse and another cup of coffee
served to revive him.)
"I would get in one line and

jostled and struggled and gasped
and fought my way through one
line after another until I finally
reached the stage. 'Ah,' I thought,
the last lap.' Then somebody
slapped a bundle of cards into
my hand and I sat down to fill
them out. With eyes crossed and
hand frozen around my pen,
staggered up to the window, paid
my fee, got my ident card and
tried to sneak out. But no! Four
pairs of hands grabbed me, threw
me into a seat and set off a blind
ing flash in my face."
"Yep." he continued with the
far-away look of a man whose ex
periences have reached far beyond
that of the ordinary homo-sapiens,
"I've seen lots of people in my
life, thieves, murderers, cut
throats, men who would sell their
own mothers for a plug ol to
bacco, but never have I met up
with people who would force you
through what I've been through
this afternoon and then be dirty
enough to take your picture afterwards."
After hearing his story, poor old
Count etc. came back to The
Nebraskan office weeping and
raving about the Inhuman treat
ment accorded to UN students.
And so begins a ruthless cam
paign, on the behalf of our be
loved Count and his fledgling
frosh, to organize a S.P.C.S. (so
ciety for the prevention of cruelty
to students) at Nebraska. May
every strong-minded student rally
to the cause and keep a vigilant
eye on those who would see us
sweat and worry over our books
in the library instead of over our
cokes in the Union.
And so. fair reader, ends our
first column, which may also be
our last.

Boasts Foreign
Subscriptions
Now able to boast foreign cir
culation is the Prairie Schooner,
literary quarterly magazine, pub
lished by the university. This
comes as a result of an order for
50 copies of the publication, re
ceived from the Belgium news
agency, Agencie at Messagerie de

made by Emily Schossberger,
university editor.
Interested in securing the best
American literary magazines, the
order came after N. Andre Closset,
director of the agency, saw a copy
of the Prairie Schooner among oc
cupation troops in Belgium.
