What to expect
4 new serr-er, a new staff, and a
mw look.
The Daily Nebraskan ? your newspa
per. This serjiester's staff has pledged it
self to make every possible effort toward
making the Nebraskan of interest to all
members of the campus community.
But, we will lieed your constant ad
vice your comments and criticism.
The editor's door as well as the "Cam
pus Forum" (the new title for the letters
to the editor) are always open.
A newspaper if a peculiar animal. It
can not be put out by any particular
group of Individuals themselves. We pro
pose to stay clear of pointing the paper
to any particular interest group. We in
tend to produce news that will be of in
terest to the engineer, the pre-med, the
Greek, the Independent. Anytime that it
appears we are slipping from this course
you can be assured that it is unintention
al and unforgivable.
Here's where you fit into the picture.
Let ui know what you like or don't like.
We go on trial to 8,000 students and mem
bers of the faculty four times weekly.
We won't be perfect, we won't be non
controversial, and most of all, we'll be
as open-minded as possible.
The staff is a good one, some vets,
tome newcomers.
Eleanor Billings, n extremely capable
and ambitious young lady veteran will
be serving In the post of News Editor.
Her Job Is that of working with the re
porters to gather the news. I have ex
treme confidence in her ability.
Serving as Managing Editor will be
Jim Forrest a level-headed young man
with good ideas. Jim has been on the
staff as copy editor and will fit his job
perfectly. He will be in direct charge of
three copy editors and must have a keen
sense of news judgement.
The copy editors, all new to the copy
desk but not to the paper, are Sue Hovik,
Nancy Whitford, and Gary Lacey. They
will re?i and correct stories handed in
by reporters, write headlines, and aid in
producing the finished product at the
Joumsl-Star Printing Co.
Senior staff reporters are veterans Tom
Kotouc, Mike MacLcan, and Wendy Rog
ers. They will be assisted by junior staf
fers' Bob Besom and Karen Gunlicks.
Ag News Editor is newcomer Anda An
derson. It will be the job of these stu
dents to compile the news columns of
your paper.
Bullet, more commonly referred to as
Dave Wohlfarth, returns as Sports Editor
to bring you the same good coverage of
NU athletics.
On the money side of the office is new
"Scrooge" Business Manager, Bill Gun
licks. He will be assisted by John Zeil
inger, Bob Cunningham and Tom Fitch
ett. And last but not least, one of the more
important cogs in our press wheels is
Jim Trester, circulation manager. A
thankless job, but one that he has done
an excellent job with last semester.
Columns? There will be more than be
fore. Diversity on the editorial page will
be one of the major policies and emphas
is of this semester's Nebraskan. A per
sonal expression by the editor would give
readers one side. The same would be
true if only staff members wrote the edi
torial page. I think you'll like other edi
torial page changes but you can see
them as they develop.
Summing it all up, this will be the
"new" Nebraskan in looks and we
hope in content. The campus, the state,
nation and world will be our subjects.
We will try to give you fair and accurate
coverage with background and depth
about subjects in which you should have
an interest.
Remember, this is your paper. Help us
make it one you too will be proud to
read.

Dear disinterested, lethargic, apathet
ic, insensitive, and grossly uninformed
Student Body, (
Hello. I speak to you as one of the
elite, that is, as a member of "your"
Student Council. Yes, looking down at
you all from the heights of our chummy
pinnacle, the twenty-seven of us can cer
tainly afford to be analytical and criti
cal. Last semester, we unanimously de
cided that you weren't "politically ma
ture" enough to intelligently elect a Stu
dent Council president. As we discussed
setting up a chapter of the Collegiate
, Council for the United Nations under
Student Council auspices, the comment
was made that international issues
should be voted upon by "people who
know something about them," the impli
cation being, of course, that, with few
exceptions, you, the mass, know little or
nothing about what is going on in the
world.
Perhaps the twenty-seven experts qn
the Council should publish their own
newspaper, but then, it would probably
be above your level of comprehension
anyway, so why bother. Incidentally, the
Council did accept the report which rec
ommended that CCUN not be set up un
der the Council, but what will you "out
there" probably do about starting
CCUN? Probably nothing. Ho Hum.
By this time, I hope that you have
scratched your fog-shrouded heads at
toast once. Actually, what I would like
OUR APOLOGIES, BIG JOHN
to know is: Are you, the Student Body,
the apathetic, unthinking blurr which the
campus leadership, imagines you to be?
Do you care about nothing except exist
ing in the' status of your own particular
routine?
.
Do you read the newspaper? Do you
have opinions? Do you "care" about any
thing outside of food, trench coats, ten
nis shoes, Friday afternoons, or saying,
"Hi, how are ya?" to the right people?
Apparently, a large percentage of cam
pus leadership believes that the answer
to these queries must be a definite NO.
I hope that you will feel that the above
attitude, which considers you to be a
dull, unperceptive mass, is an insult to
your intelligence and- integrity. Surely,
the 6,000 of you who supposedly "read"
the Rag came to college for some rea
son. You must have interests.
Why does the Student Council feel that
it has to act as a soup spoon to attempt
to stir up awareness within the murki
ness of your numbers. Is it really that
"dark" down there, or are we up so
high that we cannot see any light?
Sincerely, H
P.S. Student Council meets every
Wednesday in the Indian Suite of the Un
ion at 4 o'clock. It is still "your" Stu
dent Council, even though we don't really
consider ourselves responsible to you be
cause you are too apathetic to take an
interest in our work. If any of you ever
show up, we might even condescend a
sneer ... I mean ... a smile.

Writer Says Campus
I Needs Democrates
To the editor:
I truly agree with your
opinion, in Wednesday's
editorial, that this cam
pus needs the Young
Democrats. It seems to
me, as a student of Amer
ican history, that the Dem
ocratic cause throughout
this century has not been
one of expanding the role
of the federal government
for the sake of limiting
individual freedoms, as so
often charged by our Re
publican friends. Rather,
the Democratic philosophy
is, that government is in
stituted by men to serve
men. The days of the wild
west are over. You do not
carry a six gun around to
protect your rights, the
law forbids it. I'm sure
all would agree in order
to protect the majority
that such a law was
passed, rather than to lim
it the freedom of the in
dividual. In the state of Nebras
ka we have a one party
press. If a Democrat dare
go so far as support the
Democratic National plat
form be is branded as a
spender, a liberal, a pink,
and sometimes is de
scribed in such glowing
terms as a red. These
type of terms are catch
all phrases which bring to
mind only one thing in the
public's eye-eviL If you
are a Democrat that ac
cepts the national plat
form, you're automatical
ly a socialist, which all
good Nebraskans know is
only one ste away from
Communism,
Both Democrats and Re
publicans realize the need
for this country to main
tain its strength and keep
its economy strong. How
we are to go about doing
this, however, is a differ
ent matter. If we are to
stay strong on the inter
national scene, we must
maintain our strength in
the domestic scene. We
must demonstrate to the
world that we are ready
to take care of our own
domestic problems. If the
states cannot handle these
problems then it is the
duty of the federal gov
ernment. We must provide
equal civil rights for all,
we must provide medical
care for the aged, we
must have bigger and bet
ter schools, we must have
all these things if we in
tend to be strong on all
fronts. I do not think the
measures advocated by
the Republican Party can
give us these things. I
hereby challenge our Re
publican friends to try and
prove that their party can
give what America needs
today.
A Graduate . Student
Every day at the U.N. you could see
him arrive;
He stood five foot one and weighed three
ninety-five.
Kinda scrawny at the shoulder and broad
at the hip, '
Everybody alive would like to burst his
lip,. Big Nick.
Everybody seemed to know where Nick
called home,
Because he flew into town in a Russian
nosa cone.
He mouthed off a lot; he wasn't quiet or
shy.
Every time he spoke he'd either cuss
you or cry, Big Nick.
Most people knew he came from Mos-
cow town,
Where he ordered his men to
shoot American planes down,
And some crashing blows with a shoe in
his hand,

Made all America hate that bald headed
man, Big "Nick.
Then came the day while they were test
ing a bomb,
Russian soldiers started crying and
screaming for their "mom,"
The soldiers were frightened, their hearts
beat fast, t
All of them thought they had breathed
their last, even Nick. ' 1
Big Nick, Big Nick, Big Fat Nick.
Through the dust and the smoke of atom
ic fallout,
Walked a short fat man with his teeth
knocked out,
Grabbed a ten-ton bomb and gave out
with a groan,
And like a dying oak. tree he just lay
there and moaned,
Big Nick.
With Russian tanks they started across
town,
Until they ran across fatty lying on the
ground.
The bricks and rubble covered over that
man,
All you could see was one grubby hand,
of Big Nick.
Now they never did bother Nick's self
made grave,
The only marker was a hickory stave.
These few words were printed in the dirt,
'At the bottom of this trash lies a BIG
BIG JERK, Big Nick.
Big Nick, Big Nick, Big Fat Nick.
