Day 57- Daily Nebraskan

Dear UNL,  

     Let us take the time to point out something of importance to you.  Mayhaps, you've already taken time out of your busy(or maybe not so busy) day to engage in such things.  But if you haven't, you should really take the time to pick up one of the Daily Nebraskan Newspapers.  Available in pretty much every building on UNL's campus(both city and east), they are a great way to keep in touch with the happenings on campus.

     For those of you interested in the overall stories of note, front page worthy news stories, and even the political comics/cartoons, you'll be happy to read the first section(or first leaf) of the paper.  It's chock full of stories that pertain to all parts of campus.  Whether it be the UNL Police System, Research going on on campus, different events you might want to participate in, or even engineering, to name a few, you are sure to find something you'll enjoy reading.  Continue looking around the paper and you'll see quotes from students, influential people on campus, and even some people you don't know.  For those of you who like letters to the editor, those can be found on this page too.  Once you're done reading, send a letter of recognition, thanks, or even something you didn't like(we all could use a little constructive criticism =] ) to opinion@dailynebraskan.com on the paper or give them a call!

     Now for those of you "Artsy" types or those who enjoy sports, take a gander at the second section of the Daily Nebraskan.  The first couple of pages pertain to fine art and performing art types of stories.  Concerts that might be going on, movies to see, art shows and the like are all written about here.  Maybe find something new to enjoy while on campus!  Turn the pages and come to the sports section. This area is full of stories and articles about all sports on campus.  They write about the recent and upcoming games, wins, losses, and even potential awards and recruits.

     Both sections of the paper have other numerous qualities as well.  For those of you who like to read ads?  There are plenty for you to feast your eyes upon.  Ads for restaurants, bars, stores on campus are plentiful throughout the paper  There are even some coupons that can be found every once in a while.  What struggling, hypothetically poor college student doesn't looooove coupons?!  And for those of you who enjoy a challenge or are intellectually better then some of us(barney, in particular) there are cross words that range from easy to difficult and are a great way to spend your time.  There are also Su Do Ku's that barney finds horribly difficult.... but they might be the only one. 

     Overall, this is a great campus paper.  They take pride in their work.  On the inside page of the first section, it can be found: "Founded in 1901, the Daily Nebraskan is the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's only independent daily newspaper written, edited, and produced entirely by UNL Students.".  The pride they take and put into the paper can be seen right off the bat.  From the fantastic pictures they include to add some color and interest to the paper, to the articles that are written very well.  The student body at UNL is fairly represented and they do a great job of reporting on many different activities and ares of the University.  It makes it fun and interesting to read a paper that can teach you something new and keep it light and comical.  We've seen many a student enjoy a rest in the union or on the bus, reading a Daily Nebraskan.

     Stay classy, UNL.  Keep reading those Daily Nebraskans and spread the word!  We know we will!  We will always love you(and laugh when barney tries to complete a DN SuDoKu).

Sincerely,
killa & barney
