PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Thursday, September 16, 1948 Editorial Comment Looking Forward . . . With this first edition of The Daily Nebraskan off the presses, the staff is looking forward to a semester of fun and work putting out a paper that will cover student in terests as thoroughly as possible! Because we are the only student publication and there fore the only media of publicity on the campus, we must maintain a policy of impartiality in allowing both sides of every question to be presented fairly and equally. For this purpose we have a letterip column. We urge you to use this column to air your views and gripes. In order to con serve space in an already crowded paper, we must limit the length of leteers to 300 words, and we ask all students and faculty to remember that ruling. Though our letterip columns are open to anyone and everybody, The Daily Nebraskan editor and staff reserve the right to take a stand in the editorial columns. That, after all is the purpose of an editorial column. Also, by leaving the letterip columns open, we do not mean to print a flood of voluminous material on any one subject. De cision as to the number of letters printed on each topic wil be made according to campus interest. In a further effort to make The Daily Nebraskan a paper that will be a real service to all university students, we will devote a complete page once a week to news from the University Medical College in Omaha. This will be put into practice next week. Heretofore, there has been no coverage of the med campus in The Nebraskan since there has been no dis tribution of papers there. The medical students have not before had a means of publishing their articles and notices, because they are just as much University students as those of us on the Lincoln campus, we feel that such coverage is justified. Because The Daily Nebraskan is a student newspaper published for the purpose of serving the students, we wel come your suggestions and contributions to our news and feature columns.

"This year's plays," commented Theatre Director Dallas Williams, "are the best ever selected. There is an extremely fine balancing of plays as to type and a very strong list of playwrights. Each play was read and tested many times, and all were found to be of the highest calibre." "If the University Theatre- can I give the plays well, I feel the stu dents should see them. Giving them well depends on try-outs," added Mr. Williams. Five Renowned Playwrights. The season's plays include "Dream Girl" by Elmer Rice, "Be yond the Horizon" by Eugene UNeill, "Winterset" by Maxwell Anderson, "Othello" by William Shakespeare, and "I Remember Mama" by John Van Druten.

They will be held from 2 p. m. to 5 p. m Friday, Sept. 17, 9 a. m to 12 noon, Saturday, Sept. 20, 9 a.m. to 12 noon, and 1 p. m. to 5 p. m..

Old and New The opening of the University classes in the fall is an old story, but each freshman class is a new story. To this group and to all students and faculty The Daily Nebraskan staff extends its "hello's" and offers its beginning the first edition for the 1948-49 school year. Once the semester gets rolling, the freshmen are in variably the core of school pep and enthusiasm since they look to university classes and activities as something inter esting and perhaps exciting. The frosh class represents the spirit that pep clubs dream of instilling in an entire school. We hope that these students w ill continue their enthusiasm and that they will profit from the four short years ahead of them, both in studies and extra-curricula activities.
