Daily Nebraskan Subscription Campaign All This Week Conducted by The Tassels University Reserve To Be in Popular More than 250,000 books were given out from the reserve library of the university during the last year, a total which makes an aver age of 800 books a day. The peak of the school year, ac cording to Miss Glass, who has charge of the reserve library, was reached in the month of March, during which time more than 26,000 books were checked out and re turned within the regular two hour time limit. October and March, the two months following the beginning of the semesters, seem to mark the high Interest points in school work. During the two months an average of more than a thousand books per day were issued. In many courses much outside reading must be done. This paral lel reading would necessarily cause much extra expense, if the students were to buy their own books. The size of the average class makes it practically impossible for each stu dent to chock out. the specified book from the regular library for i-ny length of time As early as 1904 professors would go to the library and mark certain books with a label pasted to the cover, which designated that it was not to be removed from the reading room. At that time the shelves were all open and there was no manner in which the reserved books could be checked. So, in 1909, a reserve desk was installed at the west end of the main library reading room. The growth of the department soon ne Initial Week Is Perplexing to New Students "I'm lost." "Where is S. S. A." "I must be in the wrong class." These and many other similar exclamations could be heard on the campus last Thursday and Friday as an army of freshmen endeavored. to find1 the right place to start off a college education. Some of the first year students, after an unsuc cessful search, departed to the corner drug store, where they found many others opening their college careers over a nickel drink. It is becoming evident this year that the freshmen are losing their characteristic "greenness." On fi nally arriving at the proper class room they handled themselves in an experienced collegiate manner. One young fellow showed himself to be "dyed-in-the-wool" already when he answered roll call with a long z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z. It was a long weekend for the new students as they endeavored to get their surroundings on their new playground. The university faculty 13 always prepared1 for this hap pening and adopts a friendly and courteous attitude to aid the situ ation. One teacher unfortunately lost her patience, however, when one senior reported to her gymna sium class for biology. MISS HEPPNER WILL Dean of Women Will Preside At Annual Affair To Be Given Thursday Miss Amanda Heppner, dean of women, will give her annual tea to all university women Thursday at Ellen Smith hall between the hours of 3 aud 5 o'clock.

Wimberly, a professor in the department of English, of the University of Nebraska has made the announcement that his new book "Folk Lore in the English and Scottish Ballads," published by the University of Chicago Press has just been completed and printed in book form. It Is a 1e tailed and exhaustive analysis of material in the ballads that re- I .tes to early religion and maic. Library Proves Usage by Students cessitated its removal to more spa cious quarters. When the space in the old art gallery, to which the re serve collection wag moved, be came inadequate, provisions for ad ditional space were included in the plans for the Social Sciences build ing. The university reserve library is one of the best equipped in the mid dle west. Altho the seating ca pacity will accommodate approxi mately three hundred students, there is often need for more space, especially just before examinations, when many students seem to try to catch up with their neglected sup plementary reading. The reserve library system is of tremendous value to students ma joring in history, education, politi cal science and the English courses, according to the librarian, Mr. Doane, since it gives a greater number of students access to the books prescribed for outside read ing. During the fourteen hours that the library is open each day, seven students may obtain one book. In that way, Mr. Doane pointed out, a class of fifty or more can easily do all the required supplementary reading, at a great saving of time and money both to the student and the library. A student may secure a reserved book for a period of two hours. At the end of that time be may renew his claim, if the book is not being called for, by resigning for It. Re served books may be taken out for overnight use after 9:30 o'clock.
