By 1900, the Hus ker school had established a reputa tion on the baseball diamond as well nn the football gridiron. The base ball schedule of 1900 saw teams from all over the United States meet ing the Husker nine. Such teams as De Pauw, Purdue, Notre Dame, Lake Forest, Cornell, Highland Park, and Nebraska Indians appearing against the Nebraska team in 1900. Establishes Name on Diamond It was in 1899 that Nebraska es tablished its name on the diamond. It was considered the most successful aeason the Husker nine had ever had, and Nebraska's reputation as a base ball school spread throughout the east, west and middle-west. Twelve teams went against Nebraska that year, the Huskers winning seven. Kansas University, St Marys, Wash burn, Missouri, Indiana, De Fauw, Notre Dame, Purdue, and Iowa were on the schedule in 1899. The year of 1899 was not only a successful year on the diamond, but also on the cinder track. The '99 track team was one of the best ever developed at Nebraska and was led by Captain R. E.

ALPHA RHO TAU BESTOWS HONOR Fine Arts Scholastic Honorary Announces New Members Tliis Morning; WAS ORGANIZED IN 1920 The Alpha Rho Tau announce ments are to be made at a musical convocation given in the Temple Theater at 11 o'clock this morning. The Alpha Rho Tau is an honor ary scholarship society in the school of fine arts, and the members are elected from the faculty and from the senior class on the basis of schol arship and proficiency in the fine arts. In a few cases alumni members are elected to this organization. Honor Limited to Fine Art Student This honor is given to the students who are taking a B. F. A. degree or who' are majoring in one of the fine art subjects either in Teachers Col lege or in Arts and Science College. The society is quite similar to the Phi Beta Kappa honorary society in the Arts and Science College be cause the Fine Art students are not eligible to Phi Beta Kappa. The en trance requirements must be all right and the record must be clear. There must be no failures, delin quent, condition or incomplete sub jects. The Phi Beta Kappa Chapter elects from one-tenth to one-sixth of those eligible. This is not true in Alpha Rho Tau because the group to choose from is so small. But the high schol astic requirements are still kept. Nine Elected Last Year Last year 9 students were elected to Alpha Rho Tau, besides one fac ulty member. The lowert average at this time was 88.17 and the highest average 93.54. The Alpha Rho Tau honorary so ciety was organized at the University in 1920. This is the only chapter of this type at the present time. There are few Fine Arts schools in "he United States and thus thero are few honorary societies of this kind. This organization has a faculty council made up of faculty members of the School of Fine Arts and also an active chapter made up of the alumni residents in and about Lin coln. The president of the active chapter is Albert Benson, the vice president is Margaret Klinker, the secretary-treasurer is Coleita Ait kens. The group that is eligible for this honor is much larger this year than any before.

After giving the history of the li brary from 1869 Miss Compton went on, "I have been connected with the University Library since my student days in the late nineties. It has been very interesting to watch the book collection of the library grow from approximately 30,000 to its present of more than 200,000 volumes. "From the first the University Li brary has been primarily a reference liibrary. Most of the books have been bought on the recommendation of the professors who were interested in securing the best material in print in their own fields. Occasionally this has resulted in an extreme special ization, the forming of a valuable collection of books on a single line WORK IS STARTED ON FINE ARTS WEEK Program Will Include Convocation Recitals, One-Act Plays And Rostand's French Drama Definite work has been started on Fine Arts Week which is to be the week of April 25.

But these special collections are so extremely valuable, and par ticularly for research work, that it has been felt to be the wisest thing, often, to allow the library to develop somewhat unevenly in places, trusting that in the future the weaker places may be strengthened." Should Proride Room For Everyone "While the growth of the book collection has been a source of pride and treasure, the books themselves are only half or less of any library. There is so much that a university li brary should eive to its public both faculty and students. First, and, I have come to believe, foremost, it should provide room for everybody who wants to read of study; and just room but comfortable, well lighted, well ventilated room, room enough (Continued on Page Three.)

To round out the work for new students a Freshman Stag was given on the evening of September 17th. During the year the following pro jects were undertaken: a Freshman Council was organized and met once a week for informal discussions un der the leadership of Mr. Hays. A Student Book Exchange was also started at the beginning of the sec ond semester at which students were enabled to buy and sell their texts without the usual loss. Discussion Groups Formed Discussion groups were formed by the "Y" in five fraternities and the plan has met wit much success. Those who have tried them are enthusiastic about. the idea, and it is hoped that many more can be started during the next year. On February fifth and sixth a Pan Pacific conference was held where problems relating to the Pacific area were discussed by American and for eign students. There were about 80 students in attendance and as a re sult of the conference a bi-weekly discussion group on foreign relations has been started with an average at tendance of 100.

The seniors won the flip and chose to play in the field the first of the inning. The juniors kept the bases hot bringing in' twelve runs and shut tho seniors out with four. This spurt was short lived. With consistent hitting the seniors overcame the disadvantage and stacked up a two point lead in the fifth inning. In the sixth inning was a no-run inning as far as the seniors were concerned but they allowed the jjuniors four runs on errors. The seventh and last inning both teams tightened up and allowed no scores to materialize. The final score was 20 18 in favor pf the juniors.

A. refused to pay on the grounds that the play was not pre sented, will be held, not in the Tem ple Theater, but in the Social Science Auditorium, proceedings starting tonight at 7 o'clock.

Court to Open in Formal Order This "kangaroo court" of the Uni versity, though not a real legal pro ceeding, will be opened in formal order, and to all intents and pur poses will be binding and exacting upon the parties concerned. Prof. D. H. Dodd of the Law College will act as judge and will wear a regular court gown. After the Student Council has been sworn in as jury members the plain tiff will open the case, followed hy the preliminary statement of the de fense. Immediately after the exam ination of the witnesses will begin. 20 minutes will be allowed for the concluding arguments on each side, with sensational developments re garding campus life and its relation to the skit which was submitted to be expected. It is rumored the attorneys for the defense will probably charge that the startling expose of fraternity politics and the involving of the members of the University Night Committee caused them to call off the skit. The attorneys for the defense have no statement to make in advance of the trial. Anyone who has had anything to do with the Sigma Delta Chi trans action is urged to be present.
