Welcome
Once more It is our privilege
men and women to the University of Nebraska. Trite as it may
seem to say it, we are living in a time of challenge to youth to fit
themselves for leadership in a world that sorely needs it. Every
generation has called for it in the past, and the present is no ex
ception. We believe that you possess those qualities that are essential.
That is why you have been admitted. More than that, we expect of
you the very best in terms of devotion to your tasks as students
preparing to better assume the responsibilities of effective citizen
ship and productive workmanship.
The University faculty has your interests at heart and will
devote itself to your needs at all times. Cooperation on your part
is all that anyone can ask. In whatever college you are enrolled,
you will receive "liberal education" and at the same time the pro
fessional training so essential to your future Buccess. Take ad
vantage of these and justify the confidence we have in you as a
future Cornhusker and a loyal and devoted servant of humanity.
Yours for a great year,

In Retort To Tedious Lines
By MARILYN TYSON
Staff Writer
Stumbling in the crib between
many bewildered people classi
fied as freshmen, I discovered
these newcomers have formed
their first impression of our Uni
versity. Carolyn Elliott, a freshman
from Fremont, seemed to sum
up her fellow classmates opin
ions into one when she said,
"New Student Week is very use
ful but it would be helpful if
things started on time."
"I have never seen so many
lines! Can't they speed them
up?" was the plea of Milton
Fricke of Papillion.
Roberta Clauss of Omaha said
"In spite of all the lines, I
wouldn't like to start all by my
self. I've found the upperclass
men and convocations very help
ful." Varied opinions were reached

on campus tours. Jane Oelsch
lager of Grand Island says she
would like more thorough tours.
Rosa Wendt of Madrid, Ne
braska, believed that the cam
pus tours should be omitted. "I
think New Student Week activi
ties could be combined into three
days."
Charlie Trumble of Papillion
said, "It seems that it would
help if Ag students could do all
registering on Ag Campus. It
would save much confusion."
New Student Week received
praise from Jaroline Johnson of
Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She
thought it was very well organ
ized. The new students who were
asked there opinions said that in
spite of minor criticisms, they
thought the week devoted to
them should be continued.
Seems as though New Student
Week is here to stay!
