This column gives the editor a chance to ramble and discuss, and your only defense is to ignore, but please be kind. Your 1940 Plainsman makes an attempt to blend care- fully selected pictures and short, concise articles into a graphic record of the year ' s events — the ones that mean the most to you, the students of Nebraska Wesleyan. Campus life and activities are emphasized in this publica- tion which exists primarily for the students, and for the faculty which is closely linked to the student body. To obtain uniformity, the 1940 Plainsman has only two columns (always the same width) to the page, a step toward easy reading and attractiveness, which facili- tates the mixing of pictures and written material. Brief write-ups, blended with pictorial matter, offer a magazine type of presentation. THE PLAINSMAN Magazine of NEBRASKA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY 1939-1940 AUTUMN EDITION. 1939 Editor. Warren E. Johnston Business Manager, James L. Tipton Associate Editor, Bruce E. Keith Assistant Bus. Mgr., Wilmer G. Woltemath
