Wednesday, September 17, 1952 Poge 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Q i i Time For Decision cording to plan, advance any particular doctrine In their teachings. There are many realms of thought and deci sion In which University students are not re quired to act as individuals. As often as not one's parents, Instructors, counselors and other J" such persons add their advice to the newly-founded wisdom of the college student. However, one specific instance whore only the University students may judge and perform such religion. Others argue that we' receive too little a decision without help exists at this moment doctrine in our educations. Some say that in particularly this wet on the Nebraska campus, teaching religion, it is too difficult to keep indi In this field of thought and action, only the in- yidual's sects out of the instruction.

Next Monday begins "an Interdenominational venture in religious education" which is being put to the students for test. The success of this plan depends entirely upon the student body. The permanence of religious education in our Uni versity lives may also rest in part on the stu dents, In this instance.

According to one stu dent minister, the Institute's leaders do not presume that points of view will be purely ob jective In the teaching of the courses. But, to them, the greatest point is that all the reli gious leaders are working together on the In stitute, have agreed to this Instruction of all in terested University students and shall not, ac- fered by the University itself. The officials of the University of Nebraska know about this Institute movement. And be fore registration time next Monday, so will many of the students. This would seem to be a per fect instance where University people can reach a decision for themselves. They need to decide, and with force, whether religion is necessary in their lives, to what extent, and how much know ledge of religion they wish to gain. The Nebraskan finds no cause to begin a de bate on teaching religion in tax-supported schools. But The Nebraskan does heartily approve of the Institute, what the religious leaders are trying to do. We hope that University students make this decision a thoughtful and wise one. R.R. This marriage game is fast be- Chi 0.

However, in the jumble and jamble of our busy office, it occasionally becomes difficult for a reporter to keep bis head above the racket long enough to write a story.

But The Daily Ne braskan comes through with an issue five days per week and here's how. many long years because each year new people were interested in spending their leisure hours in the Union basement . . . because so many stu dents considered the Nebraskan a newspaper, not an activity . . . because there are always people anxious not particularly to join the journalistic world but to help put out the campus paper about.

These magazines seem to 'fear that the freshman who ar rives on campus without the standard wardrobe may be jeopardizing her college career Following the exuberant advice of any one of them is in itself a breathless under taking. "Let your hair grow thicker, fuller; let it swing like a short silk tassel. It's chic to roll back the cuffs of your jacket, so that you ap pear to be pro wine too fast for your suit Shorten every sleeve, some to four or more inches above the wrist-bone." This is only the beginning of the fashion experts' formulas for the best dressed coeds. Often these fashion editors scour various male campuses for "his" fashions to translate into "her terms. A coed who followed their advice would find herself setting out for col lege attired in a "Convoy coat, originally worn by the British Navy, plus "a hat straight off the polo field" and a "campus slicker copied from New York's most distinguished doorman at the Plaza." And of course, echo the au thorities, "no one, but No One will be wearing cottons on the campuses; for only woolens are the acceptable attire every where." The Northerners and Easterners who set the fashion pace wildly applaud the out going cottons for fall. In the meantime, coeds at Nebraska and the other Mid west and Southern Universi ties agree with the authorities and suffer under the sticky September sun in skirts and sweaters.
