THE NEBRASKAN
Friday, February I, 194B
We 're Off Again . . .
The names on the masthead change but from semester
to semester the purpose of the Ncbraskan remains the
same. Editorial policy may differ slightly but every staff has
as its aim the publication of a student paper which will in
form the students of the happenings on the campus and
will express the opinion of its readers.
Every new staff, however, has its own ideas as to how
the purpose of a student publication can best be accpm-
phshed, and we are no exception. We don t expect to reform
the entire university but we do hope that by constructive
criticism and suggestion we can help to make it a better,
greater school in the future. We feel that it is our job to
do what we can to help build and not tear down with de
structive criticism the university.
We are looking forward to the coming semester as an
important one in the return of the campus to its prewar ac
tivity and will do our best to give complete, non-partisan
reporting of the entire school. To do this we will need the
co-operation of students and faculty. We cannot hope to
a good job unless our readers meet us half way by letting
us know about the events they want publicized and the lack
of adequate coverage in any specific cases.
Pardon Us . . .
Pardon us while we stare, but its been so long since we
had to battle our way thru crowds of students in the Union
halls; since there were more men than women in any of our
classes; since we had to park the car two blocks from our
class building; since we've not been able to walk into the
Crib and know half the people there on sight. It has been
a long time since we have seen tall men, short men, fat
men, dark men and light men in other words, since we had
seen men, in quantities.
During the last two years of peace and quiet we had
forgotten how it felt to go to school in the atmosphere of
a busy campus. We find we like excitement.
Welcome back, fellas!

Course we know you think that's a silly title, and doesn't make
any more sense than the author in person, so we'll settle that score
in the very beginning. After a period ol reflection, if you don't dig
it, try repealing the name of this publication a few times with a Hur
dle and Halter accent. As a last resort, report to the experimental
psychology lab. They'll check you over.
Money is the root of all evil, or so we've' been told for years. But
do they have to remind us ol it from every juke box, just as we're
feeling positively deflated from paying fees, buying books and subsi
dizing campus functions Kenton, Beaux Arts Ball and the opera
Personally, we agree with the "wish we were richer and less beau
tiful" school of thought.
No one could listen with a straight lace to the complaints in the
Campusline Wednesday noon. As one obviously new freshman put
it, "I must be crazy. I waited in line to see my advisor in the coli
seum this morning, I stood in line to get the dean's signature, and
again at "the assignment committer Ditto to pay fees, the same to
have my picture taken. Now it's lunch time, and here I am, standing
in line."
That universal urge that put "take a break" in the Yank vocabu
lary got the better of two vets in one of the Wednesday English
classes. In the midst of their conversation in the rear of the room,
one absentmindedly pulled out a pack, offered it to the other fellow,
and they proceeded to light up. About that time the professor arrived
at the end of the row with an explanatory "We don't do that here,"
and they found themselves with that familiar "rear eschelon" feeling.
Unofficial campus sources Thursday estimated that the total en
rollment would be 5,500 by mid-semester, 100 percent above second
semester last year. How's that for coming back with a bang after
the war-time low? It throws the reconversion burden squarely on
the sagging shoulders and bowed legs ol the "old timers" in the stu
dent body, whether they are continuing or re-enrolling after time
out to answer "Greetings." How soon can many of the professional
societies, the Kosmet Klub, Pershing Rifles and Innocents get back
on a "going" basis . . . thus to provide material for that 25th hour
we're expecting.
Only good idea we've heard for costumes for the Beaux Arts
ball came from a certain ambitious sophomore. Instead of dressing as
Salome, she's planning to use some strings of salomi over a butcher's
apron.
We must admit that we get ofir inspiration "the hard way" and
we've already worn a blister on our lower lip, as well as a callous
on our right index finger, so we'd best get in line at the Crib. That's
Sanskrit for swill-grill.

here that a dance has been such
a complete sell-out!"
