Policy Unset
The moment has come. The paper is in the typewriter,
the cigarettes are all smoked, the coke is gone. It is time
for a new editor to sit down and attempt to outline the
policies of the new year's Daily Nebraskan.
The question has been asked many times What is
the policy of the Daily Nebraskan going to be? Well, dear
readers, there is no pat policy. A new policy has to be
set every day as new topics arise.
People ask, "Are you going to support Student Council
this year?" It's hard to say at this time. One has to wait
to see what Student Council does. They have a consti
tutional convention looming in the near future.
A talk with John Lydick, president of Student Council,
showed that the officers have already done quite a bit of
work on the organization of the convention. The revision
of the old laws is something that will bear much watching.
Another big event this year will be the national elec
tion. The Daily Nebraskan will strive to present both sides
of the political question. Two columns, one Republican,
one Democrat, will be run side by side once a week. Bob
Weaver will keep the readers up to date on action in
Washington.
There will be columns from campus leaders, from a
faculty member, from a fine arts critic. An attempt will
be made, as has been in the past, to hit upon every aspect
of the campus.
This is not always possible, because of space, because
of lack of knowledge. It is up to you, the readers of the
-.Daily Nebraskan, to keep the office of the paper informed
on your activities.
One change in the policy of the paper is that the editor
will be responsible for every word printed on page two.
- In the past, editors have often felt that they a -e responsible
for only what they themselves have written. This does
not mean that the editor will necessarily agree with every
word, but that the columns have been thoroughly checked
for responsibility and good taste. The editor will stand
. behind the columnist's right to say what he or she believes.
Closet Case
l?v Frank I'artsch
Once again the University
has broken its enrollment
records. Official figures are
not yet available but they have
passed t h e record mark. To
these new students the Daily
Nebraskan bids welcome.
When I think of registration,
it's of long lines, of bearing
down on a dull pencil so that
the marks will go through to
the umpteenth page with as
much clarity as the first. Of
confus'on, of running from
place to place trying to get in
classes, of getting saps signeu.
This semester it was all
done with such ease. Last
spring I made one trip to my
advisor and the office of the
dean of my college. This sum
mcr a letter arrived. I looked
it over and sent something in
I will have to admit that a
stamp had to be bought (al
ways a difficult effort for me
as those waiting for let
ters from me can attest), and
I had to seal the envelope.
Upon arriving in the
glorious city, I suddenly rea
lized that I didn't have to do
a thing except get a parking
sticker and a football ticket.
I looked forward ,to both oi
these occasions with dread,
and anticipated waiting in
long lines and then being
turned away because of no
Student Identification. I anti
cipated more lines looking for
an ID card.
A few days after my arrival,
a letter came for me and, low
and behold, there was a
sparkling new ID card. A
plastic one yet, that matches
the plate from a downtown
store. I feel like i nave a
charge account with too Uni
versity. I was full of questions about
how to obtain a football tic
ket. Rumors were flying. Then
I pulled out a letter received
earlier, and there it was, a
complete and (Mailed, ex
planation. I made the trip to the Coli
seum apprehensive of the
long lines reaching clear
down the block. A short line
and fifteen minutes later 1
found myself the proud pos.
sessor of a r.cw football tic
ket. Next item on the agenda
parking sticker. I envisioned
real problems getting one, a
cross attendant, more long
lines. Instead there was a
friendly lady who gave me a
form to fill out, a list of places
to park and instructions to
join a line of cars to get the
valued sticker.
The line contained many
cars but after driving up 14th
Street, and making the U-Turn
required at the mall by the
Sheldon Art Gallery I was at
the place of encounter. A
voune man ran uo and erab-
bed my form. Another slap-
pea a suckci on my car ana
a friendlv policeman told ma
I was all done and could go
park my car. I about fell out
of the driver's seat in amaze
ment.
On second thought. I won.
der if I am registered, if that
football ticket is real, if I
just imagined a parking
sticker. Maybe it was lust a
good dream.
Delivery Changes Set
The Daily Nebraskan. conscious of some criticism in
its distribution method in the past, is trving a new method.
Newspapers will be delivered to the living units for on
" campus students.
- Lincoln students may pick up their copies in the Nebras
' ka Union, faculty members at the faculty club. On the
College of Agriculture and Home Economics, copies will
be delivered to the Ag Union. Nebraska Center and Love
Memorial Hall.
This is admittedly an experiment. The Daily Nebras-
kan would appreciate your comments on the efficiency of
' the method, the accessibility of the papers. If this is not
satisfactory, a change will 'be made immediately.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the
I Nebraska Cornhuskers."
Between the long red lines
of Corncobs and Tassels they
charged, past the leaping
tumbling cheerleaders, to the
sound of thousands of cheers.
And a few groans.
"Gawd, Conruskers, wotta
terrible name fer a football
team," said the heavy Brook
lyn accent behind me, signi
fying the beginning of o p e n
season on the State of Ne
braska. :
Every University student
has at one time come in con
tact with the small but vocal
i contingent of students some
Nebraskans included who
, have set themselves up as au-
j thoritative critics of the state.
There are archaic liquor
laws, no night life and a bal-
. anced budget.
An overabundance of school
: districts, a ridiculous tax set
up and too many virgins.
The weather is too warm,
too wet, too dry and too cold.
Granted, Nebraska not
! noted as a fast, wild center, j
I It is no Broadway, Kansas
! City or even Marysvillc. By
! seaboard nightlife standards,
I it is a very backward state
I indeed.
Nebraska is a product of
I two things: its weather and
j its people. No one should be
critical until he is well ac
quainted with both, and until
! he realizes that individualism
does not imply backwardness. !
One shouldn't be critical of
Nebraska until he has felt;
the wind tearing at his hair
as he races a spirited horse ,
across a pasture in .search of;
a stray steer ;. ': !
Or. until te ha 'felt thl ten
sion buildjng up with the hail,
clouds in the west, or until
he has watched 'a thousand
acres of shiny green com
burn to brittle brown paper in I
a single hot windy day. I
' lie should understand why'
parents would rather send
their children- to d 1 o e a I
school than a consolidated'dis-
trict 20 miles and two hours
away by bus.
He should learn the unique
political history of the stale,
whose annual balanced budg
et makes the economics de
partment cringe and shudder.
He should begin to see that
Nebraska's problems are dif
ferent: our racial problems
are serious, but they are
smaller than those faced Dy
metropolitan areas, and we
have a tax problem and a
time-sales controversy to take
their place. And so on down
the list. .,. . ,
Above all, the critic should
remember that these corn
huskers these people w h o
watch the sky and read the
market news are the same
cornhuskers who have furn
ished him with an education
cheap enough to bring h i m
here from the East Coast and
at the same time offer enough
to send him back to a re
spectable job.
He should not forget that
their Saturday afternoon
money which has made his
athletic grant possible h a s
been earned by husking the
very corn he is ashamed of.,
These ideas seldom see!
their way into dormitory and
Greek house discussions on
the quickest way to eliminate ,
corn, yet they should be con
sidered before we start o a r
annual crusade to abolish the
Corncobs, the Tassels, t h e
Kernals, the Crib, the Dell
the Cornhuskers.
