High School Staff
Runs Rag Ragged
By Sharon Boyce
Ord, Nebraska
"Write a news feature on the
students who form this tentative
staff on The Daily Nebraskan",
stated Cub Clem, news editor, as
he smilingly assigns me my ar
ticle. He looked so calm and
collected at his position at his
semi-circular desk, that I asked
him what he thought of his pre
sent staff for the next three hours
to which he answered, "The stu
dents seem to be willing to work
and speaking for the staff, we
appreciate their co-operation."
(Off the record, and five minutes
later, Cub had three assistants
and" was getting confused.)
Giving the regular staff of the
Daily Nebraskan a rest from their
duties and providing them with
news, features, or fillers were the
following sixteen of the Nebraska
State High School Press conven

A word of explanation is in
order here. This special edi
tion of The Daily Nebraskan
has been made possible by the
concerted efforts of about
twenty or thirty eager Nebras
ka high school youths, in con
junction wilth a skeleton staff
of the Rag.
Noting the absence of many
of the regular staff members,
it is to be observed that the
work of the high school stu
dents was primarily respon
sible for this edition. Every
bit of the writing, except for
this note and the editorial by
Dake Novotny was written by
a visitor to the prep press con
vention. One thing the regular staff
of the paper contributed was
the headlines and the pictures.
They, under the direction of
Acting Manager Editor Cub
Clem assembled the material,
and gave the paper form. They
wish to take this opportunity
to thank the students for their
work, and hope that they will
return soon.

Reviews Plan
For NHSPA
BY ROBERTA SEIDEL

"The convention committee
sent out three separate letters to
600 Nebraska high schools before
this convention. Ordinarily a day
is given to the cutting , of sten
cils, a day to mimeographing, an
other day to folding, one to en
veloping and stamping letters,"
saM William S. Hice, director of
the Nebraska State High School
Press convention and instructor
of journalism at the University,
in an interview Friday.
Fifteen adult speakers had to
be asked to speak on the quar
ten hour panels, in addition to the
two main speakers, he said. Spe
cial letters were sent to forty
five students in high schools who
were asked to serve on different
panels.
"In order that this convention
may run as smoothly as it has
all of my time, with the exception
of my classes, has been taken in
planning this convention," Mr.
Hice admitted.
"Scores of University of Ne
braska students have given what
would be the equivalent of an
eight hour working day to the
planning of this convention. This
planning has helped the conven
tion to run as systematically as it
has," he stated with praise for
his subordinates.
He believes that the high school
press convention is an excellent
idea as the attempt is made to im
prove high school newspapers and
teach students the responsibilities
of the press problems.

Young Journalists ...
The Daily 'Nebraskan hates to see you go. We had
such a short time to make your acquaintance, that we are
wishing these conventions were at least a week long. The
members of the staff always deem it a great honor to act
as host to you and the pleasure has been all ours.
We hope that in some small way we have added to the
agenda of the convention. The bits of knowledge you have
consumed during this brief interlude will eventually bene
fit you and the publication you produce. While it may all
seem a jumbled mass at this time, gradually the mass will
take the form of new ideas and new philosophies.
Many of you are seniors and next year will be re
porters on The Daily Nebraskan, or maybe a future editor.
Therefore it will be your duty to. maintain the standards of
the official university publication as an unbiased, free
press.
Consequently the beginning is before you now, in the
future. Remember as a journalist you have a duty to per
form. A duty to yourself, your community, your govern
ment and to mankind. The vocation you have chosen calls
for a keen mind, strong powers of reasoning and a desire
to fight for justice and the right way of living with the
tools of your trade.
Our relationship with you, such as it was, was pleas
ant. To us you displayed a mature sense of news which,
with cultivation in the years to come, will lead you on the
road to success in many fields.
Good luck to you all and please come and see us.

NHSPA Group Hears
Swindler at Convocation

Beatrice.
At the general convocation of
the Nebraska High School Press
association Friday, Oct. 31, Dr.
William F. Swindler spoke on
"Tomorrow's Journalists."
The director of the university
school of journalism stressed the
fact that there is much more to
teaching journalism than just in
structing students how to write a
news or feature story. A jour
nalist must have a broad educa
tion, he said, but more than that,
a deep education.

A group of NHSPA Convention
delegates went on a general tour
of the State Journal building yes
terday between the hours of 8:30
and 10:30 a.m.
The group went in a body to
the plant locted at the northeast
corner of 9th and P, led by a
members of the Student Founda
tion. Each of the group received
a general floor plan of the build
ing upon arrival. The tour began
in the Photo Engraving Dept. on
the 4th floor where the students
examined cuts and observed the
process of photo engraving. The
bindery on the 3rd floor was next
on the tour. There the process of
folding the paper and book press
ing was observed.
Shown Composing Room.
On the 2nd floor the group was
shown the backbone of the paper,
for this was the floor which
housed the composing room, news
room, the stereotype foundry, art
department, morgue and United
Press News bureau. The group
was particularly interested in the
teletype machines of the United
Press. At the back of the main
floor the group observed the news
paper press in action. The tour
ended on the basement floor where
the paper storage rooms were seen.
Here abo were the comic press,
which was most interesting to the
students, and the cylinder press
room.
Although a few of the students
were separated from the group
and became lost in the maze of
corridors the group -decided the
tour was well worth the time.
tion, but the hopes are that next
year it can and will be approxi
mately seventh. After that, those
top-ranking four or five schools
of journalism had better watch
their step, he added.
A graduate course has been set
up which people who have prac
ticed journalism for several years
may attend. This is planned for
brushing up the students and
brining them up to date.
Dr. Swindler's closing statement
was that there is a lot more to
journalism than just writing and
knowing social science, economics,
and history. The journalist must
have a sense for news and be able
to interpret it.

(Continued from Page 1.)
"campusology" was exceedingly
low, we decided to make a tour
of the grounds.
To a newcomer, the fashions
and styles seen on the campus
make one all "ga-ga," and pre
pared to carry back new ideas.
Quite impressive is the idea.
This is the last convention in
which sessions will be held in the
old University Hall. Soon it will
be torn down and replaced by
Electrical Engineering school.
As our guide pointed out the
captivating fire hazards and mag
nificent condemned structures of
the campus we concluded our
jaunt by crashing the Corn Crib
for our vittles and grub. While
trying to ignore three men peer
ing over from the next booth
asking where "Jan," "Marian,"
and "Pokey" were, we remem
bered our evening chores and
headed for home, eager to com
plete our days at Podunk High
and become citified young Corn
huskers. i
