Night News Editor
The 'Rag' Goes ' on Trial . .
The Daily Nebraskan is pretty much taken for granted.
And among the things which students take for granted is
the new, seven-column size of their paper. It took only a
week or so to get used to the king-size "Rag." We scarcely
notice the adanvtages of the new Daily Nebraskan, and
only if we are forced to return to the old tabloid format
will these advantages be missed.
Even with twice as much space, the "Rag" staff can't
always manage every news item that comes in. But with
thA Ciu NAhraslrfln. it was a matter of "survival of the
fittest;" if the story wasn't the "big" story of the day, it
ran the chance of being doomed to tne neu dox ... me
grave yard for dead type . . . before it ever saw print The
less students the story concerned, the less likely it was to
find an inch of space in some corner of the "Rag." The Ne
braskan staff last semester probably turned down as much
news as it printed. j
Wednesday morning, in a campus-wme vote aunng
Finale
all 9 o'clocks, students will say "yes"
to the better
coverage they have received in the king-size "Rag." They
will act as the iurv in deciding the fate of The Daily Ne
braskan ." . determining whether it will live as a better
newspaper or be condemned to the crowded tabloid size.
Sufficient negative votes will bring the return of the old
five-column newspaper, in which stories were packed like
sardines . . . and some sadly undernourished sardines at
that Approval of the fifty-cent "Rag" subscription mcerase
will mean the best coverage The Daily Nebraskan staff
can muster . . . more stories, longer stories, more detail.
The old tabloid seemed about half finished when it was
distributed each morning; the new "Rag" comes closer to
being a complete paper.
Besides the obvious advantage of a broader coverage
for University students, the larger paper means that the
so-called "little organizations have a chance of getting in
their news. The king-size "Rag" better fulfills its purpose
of being" not only a student newspaper, but a faculty news
paper as well, with various articles which are of special
interest to instructors. The seven-column Daily Nebraskan
is better equipped to come to the aid of organizations
which are trying to promote dances and other similar func
tions. In this respect, the "Rag" is not only more prepared
to offer lip-service to such occasions, but it lets the stu
dents know that these things are going on and helps to
contribute to the social side of University life.
Working under cramped, five-column conditions last
semester, the Nebraskan pages often were scant on fea
tures involving the unexplored phases of campus life. This
semester The Daily Nebraskan is able to bring you a much
more extensive variety of entertaining feature material,
from personality sketches to side-lights among the indi
vidual colleges.
"One picture," runs an often-quoted Chinese proverb,
"is worth ten thousand words." If our little friend, who
had nothing better to do than sit around and dream up
such sayings, is right the "Rag" is saving a lot of wasted
words with additional space for interesting and lively pic-i
tures, pictures of people you know. With six extra inches
added at the bottom of each page, plus two extra columns, I
the "Rag" is able to print numerous signed columns, rang-!
ing from the serious to the lighter side of the news. The
cartoons of one of the country's most popular humor artists
have come into their own with the larger format I
Readers who forget pages one, two and four and turn '

The new "Rag" has also made it possible to devote two

students interest The present campaign for continuance

During the past week and a half the news and editorial
columns of The Daily Nebraskan have contained a great
deal of information concerning the proposed city Union
addition and the new Ag Union building. We have purposely
concentrated this material in a short period of time so that
students can be quickly informed and then, quickly make
their decisions. We have not, by an means, tried to put
something over on the students before they realize what
is happening.
By now, most of the University's enrollees should be
fairly-well versed on all the aspects of proposed Union fa
cilities expansion. And Wednesday morning they will make
their decision. The Board of Regents has expressed the
view that a large number of students should vote on this
important issue. To reach that large number, the admin
istration is allowing instructors the short time necessary
in Wednesday s 9 o clock classes to conduct the all-Uni-
versity vote.
However, about half of the student body is not regis
tered for classes at this hour. And to give every student
an opportunity to vote, two booths will be available, one
in the city Union lobby and one in the Ag Union,' between
9 and 9:50 in a. m. It is hoped that between six and seven
thousand students will be reached by the combined class
room and booth voting. We strongly urge that any student
who is anywhere near the voting booths will take the few
minutes required for casting his ballot A matter which
involves a $3.50 tuition fee increase, a new Union addition,
a new Ag college Union building and the continuation of
the present seven-column Daily Nebraskan should be of
interest to every student attending this university.
Little more can be said about a Union addition or a
new Ag Union. We have tried to explain why we think
both buildings should be constructed in previous editorials
and features. It had been our hope that students would
write letters to The Daily Nebraskan expressing their
opinions, pro and con, on the issue. But since no letters of
this nature were written, we have attempted to answer
questions which were brought to us second-hand and to
satisfy dobuts which we felt would be in the minds of the
students.
Many points, unkown to us, will go unanswered. How'
ever, there is one question, though answered many times,
which should be cleared up once more. It is the fact that
classroom buildings for the University are financed by ta
money. The Student Union cannot be and is not supported
by this method. But we feel that the student body is well
enough informed to vote intelligently. Through dicussion
with friends and through facts printed in The Daily Ne
braskan, students should have heard most of the arguments
for and against the proposal.
We of The Daily Nebraskan have been behind the
proposal all the way for the simple reason that we spend
much time in the Union and realize what it means to those
who participate in its activities and what it can mean to
those who do not
It is our sincere belief that a Union addition on the
city campus and a new Union on Ag would be of great
benefit to the students and to the University for many
years to come. By giving ourselves more opportunities to
carry on healthful recreation, relaxation and activities, we
can leave the University of Nebraska with a broader scope
of experience to add to the knowledge we receive in class
rooms.
The decision rests with you. We will say no more.

The tickets would cost $1.50 each. They would provide
