The quotation is from Un report of a Special Library committee to the Ne braska House of Representatives on April is. U'K. Today, mora than ten years later the University library Is boused In the same building of vhiih the committee reported that the library quarters had "long tinea been outgrown." True, additions to the library! facilities have been made by the turning ore of the second floor to the library. The woeful Inadequacy of the present quartets are Indicated, however, by the fact that In Novem ber, 1826, two years ago, there were more than 20,000 books In storage. The library must be com plimented OB peeping Its collection up. However. It It most unfortunate, that proper spare for utiliza tion of the books now in possession of the library is not available. The UnlTerslty of Nebraska has been struggling manfully to keep Ite standards up in the face of a tremendous Increase In enrollment which lias not been met by a compensating increase in financial lupport The library represents one of the crying aieds of the Institution. The student body today will probably not be able to see a new library dur ing Its members' terms In school, nut the present student body can perform a valuable senice to stu dents to come by actively carrying the message to the state of the needs of the University, several of which must be met before a new library ran be erected, NEBRASKA FIRST Lincoln Is host this week-end to nearly three ;jnjthouind representatives from district number one school teachers, who are In attendance at the dis trict meeting of the Nebraska Teachers Association. The University of Nebraska assumes part of the role of playing host to this assemblage of teachers and superintendents. The Coliseum has been the scene of the general mass sessions of the teachers, and various buildings have housed sectional meetings. The significance of the district, meeting in Lin coln and In the environs of the University lies under neath this outward contact which the teachers are experiencing. It means greater understanding of the University. It means that those superintendents can take back messages to high school students which will urge them to obtain the benefits of higher edu cation. Many' of these teachers, probably twenty-five pe cent can not call the University of Nebraska their alma mater. Each year high school studnts are seeking educational facilities at foreign schools, groping for something that they feel is just a shade ; better or bat a bit more prestige than the University of Nebraska. It Is not an ungrounded charge to say that these teachers adviBe and guide as much as possible their students to attend their own alma mater, and It It not a hasty speculation to say that high school students are guided In their decision by the advice of Ugh school Instructors. Such direction Is to be expected, bin this visit j to the University of Nebraska will serve to clarify ' and enlighten any who have frowivd upon Ne- ) bras kit as an educational institution COME AND GO How different will the Nebraska campus be on the coming week-end from the past week end. While on October 27 thousands came into Lincoln, No vember S Will find thousands leaving the city for Lawrence. The Stadium will yawn in hungry melan choly this Saturday. The unfortunates that must remain in Lincoln will be forced to take a much needed rest while listening over radio reports from the neighboring state. Perhaps the business men may notice it. It would be an interesting study to find the effect of a great football game on the retail busi ness in a college town. Twenty-five or thirty thous and people came to Nebraska last Saturday, 'lids Saturday will find a third that many leaving to go to Kansas. 8oine enterprising student of social principles might lake It. upon hlinnclf to find the relation of these athletic spectacles to the volume of business on such week-ends. OVER THE SHOULDER Fraternities have been the centers of arguments Hnd counter-arguments in countless schools. Their place In scholastic life. Their democracy or artificial aristocracy. Their treatment of neophytes. Their social conduct. All have come in for reams of cen sure and commendation. new slant on the fraternity defense is dis cussed In an editorial from the Daily O'Colleglan of Oklahoma A. ft M. published tin the column, "Other Editors gay," today. The Oklahoma editorial Is based upon remarks of Dean Max McConn of Lehigh university In thu November, North American Review. Those Interested In the development of a uni versity of higher scholastic Ideals will probably look with disfavor upon Dean McConn's conclusions. Those who view the exceptional student of today ss out-of-place may attach now values to the frater nity system If they accept Dean McConn's con t!nsH0HS, ? either jM of Us fence, t . e.tor.a! o'fers material tor a' new slant on a much die cues! Issue, THE KAUGER: Two men with guns were seen on the campus yesterday. They were trying to sneak up on a flock of ducks that had taken to a sidewalk pond. It Is hard to believe that thieves took over two hundred dollars from three fraternity houses that late in the month. Another optimist is he who thinks he will rich enough next spring to buy a Cornhusker. be Next week end will bo a heavy date scucdulo. The student directory goes on sale Monday. Another good expression would be "It's as soiled as the trench coat." Journalists were given a little insight on their profession last night. They attended a political burlesque. A STtJENT LOOKS AT PUBLIC AFFAIRS By David Fsllman We hope that the excessively damp condition of the weather will not dampen the political ardor of our citizenry. The flames of the political bonfire should burn with unabating intensity until the peo ple finally make their choice next Tuesday. The election will, in all prob ability, be a very close one. Every vole will count. If you are en titled to a vote, be sure to vote. The indifference of a number of individuals may make a great deal of difference. The pessimist: "I knew it would rain when i here was an out-of-town football game that I wanted to attend." The optimist: "It's sure lucky it didn't rain this tuv last week for the Missouri game." Just now alumni call Bearg a groat coach. It doesn't take a P. R. K. to figure what they'll say f an overconfident Husker team should drop the lavhawk scramble. tine freshman asked what the Green Goblins used to do on the campus. No one could enlighten li i m . It woudu't be surprising about November 6, if some university student accidentally cast his presi dential ballot for Cris Cagle, Army backfield whiz. What are the newspapers going to use to fill their columns after the general election next week? The close of football season will bring the same worry to the Nebraskan staff. "IN MY OPINION Clothes Are the Limit" Chicago has a unique way. all of its own, to settle matters of com petition in business. In the civil ized portion of the realm, when two cab companies are in active competition with one another, they try to gain the favor of the people by offering better rates, better service, more accommodations, and so forth. Rut In Chicago, the Yel low and Checker cab companies are fighting it out "with' murder, arson, and assault with intent to commit personal injury and prop erty damr.e." Such are the find ing's of the October grand Jury. Grand jury investigations will not do Chicago much good. Wo doubt very much whether a sub stantial contingent of leather necked marines would do any cuod. What Chicago needs is a very militant sort of moral awak ening. The good people of Chicago j must wake up from the stupor and timidltv into which the organized ! vices of the big city have plunged them. Official Bulletin Friday, November t.

CLOVEN-HOOFED DEVIL HELD NO FRIGHT Continued From l'uie I. with hoots, bo Cuvier said that the skull was that of an animal with hoofs. But the leg and foot bones found mixed up with the skull bones were by no means those of a hoofed animal. Cuvier, never losing faith, t-altl these leg and foot bones must have belonged to a giant sloth. Me thus made out of these problematical remains two distinct and separate animals. Many specimens were found; always with the same con tradictory head ana noor ouues. In 1887 a quick wltted French man, Monsieur H. Filhol, suggested the possibility of the bones belong ing to one animal, but the influ ence of Cuvier's Idea that certain structures were always associated with certain other structures, like the horns and hoofs of the devil in the story of his dream, held natur alists back from such a conclusion. Old Theory Is Disproved "Shortly after the Frenchman's suggestion," continued Collins, "a complete skeleton was found with the bones so arranged that there could no longer be any doubt that here was an animal unlike any ever known In the world before, an ani mal about the size of a horse with teeth very similar to those of a rhinoceros, but with its feet fur nished with huge claws instead of hoofs. "So far little is known about this weird animal, but it Is of particular interest to Nebraska people as early in this century several speci mens were found in Sioux county. "One of these, very kindly pre- . J According to a recent Pittsburgh paper the college man's garb has again been brought into the limelight through the report of a clothier's survey. It states that In dress the college man has become "neat and tidy" to a "surprising" degree. The surprise Is for anyone who has thought the college man has not always been neat and tidy. To casual observers the students on the campus have always represented the latest in all attire. Some of our prominent activity leaders might well be mistaken for clothing salesmen. Were It not for the evidence of a few texts and notebooks, the ten minute parade that takes place each hour on the campus could well be called a style show. Neat and tidy are Jejune words to use in a de scription of the college man's clothes. He has be come painstaking and fastidious, even smacking of the feminine. Will bright colored hatbands and silk scarfs lead to the return of satin breeches and silk velvet waistcoats? The absence or presence of trouser cuff or the number of coat buttons has little to do with tidiness or neatness, yet it spells suc cess or failure to the college man. Is college a display window or is it an institu tion of learning? Are students wax figures on which are cunningly draped yards of novel material, or are they wisdom seeking youths striving to learn the best in life? Neatness Is an admirable habit to acquire. Fastidiousness is an absurd example of Impropriety. H. C. A STUDENT'S CREED With the quarterly reports have come hundreds of new resolutions. Or are there some who lacked sufficient pride even to themselves to say, "This is my school. I must get my education here. I spend the state's and my father's money that I may be better fitted to live and make a living. I am not productive now, and if I am to do my duty, I must compensate for the years taken here in life after wards. To be able to do that I must begin to build the habits that will make me most effective. I must learn to apportion my time, to concentrate on what I am doing, and not to allow myself to procrastinate. These things must I do, and I do so resolve, for I am confident that doing these, I need not worry more about the records and my scholarship." J. H. OTHER EDITORS SAY Robert Lansing, secretary of state in President Wilson's cabinet, died at his home in Washington on October 30, at the, age or bt. Mr. Lansing succeeded Nebraska's il lustrious William Jennings Bryan after the hitter's disagreement with Wilson over international pol icies. Just prior to America's entry into the World War. Mr. Lansing retired from the cabinet in Feb ruary, li'20, Just before the end o President Wilson's administration, after having been rebuked for call ing cabinet meetings during Mr. Wilson's illness, without his ex press consent. The Graf 7-eppelin passed over Kngland a few weeks ago, at the beginning of its memorable trans oceanic cruise. This was the first time in ten years that a German airship has flown over that land.

Company 1343 O Street A report of the department of commerce, issued on October 22, gives us some interesting informa tion relative to the ascendancy of America's agricultural position. Its report states that corn is the larg est of all agricultural crops in the I'nlted States, in acreage, quantity, and value, and the largest grain iron In the world in Quantity. The' average world production of cornlf !AiIB liuliwii during the past five years has been ! V.CSIUIV.C J W C I P " 4.500.000.000 bushels annually. The average annual contribution of the i United States has been 2,750,000,-1 000 bURhels. Argentina, .our nearest' competitor, produces less than one-1 tenth as much. Nature has been vet-' kind to ua. A special grand jury is invest!-1 gating bootlegging, gang murders, police corruption, and other up-to- j date methods of vice in Phlladel- i phia. At the eleventh week of the ; inquiry it has reached the conclus ion that fully a third of Philadel phia's police commanders are "un fit to hold anv municipal office." The grand jury recommended, last Tuesday, the dismissal of three of ; the city's seven police inspectors, and eighteen of the forty-three cap-, tains, because of their unexplained ; growth of personal wealth. Mayor ; Mackey suspended twenty-two of the men. It was shown that these; twenty-two officials deposited over $800,000 in the banks during the; last four years. The trouble Is that it Is easy to deplore these conditions, but ex tremely difficult to suggest or en force a remedy. PRAISE FOR THE FRATERNITIES It is a dull year that doesn't bring an attack from somebody on the college fraternity system. Not long ago a wealthy Ohloan offered to give Cornell a fabulous sum of money if the fraternities were abolished. A little later a young southerner being initiated into a fraternity at another univer sity, died as a result of the stunts he was put through, and the outcry against fraternities was renewed. .Now, however, comes Dean Max McConn of Lehigh university, writing in the North American Uelew for Novemb-r, to defend the fraternity sys tem as a system which makes a college or uni versity course far more valuable, to many men, than It would be without fraternities. His defense is based on unusual grounds. The average college youth today, says Dean McConn, simply is not fitted for a higher education of the old style. He has not the intellectual capacity to delve Into books very deeply. What he is really after is the training that college gives outside of its classrooms training in the practical matters that will be of assistance to him in making a living. j He gets this training, continues the dean, in stu dent activities student politics, class publications, I glee clubs, athletics on a big business scale, and the j like. American college men have built up mimic I worlds of busluess within the college walls, and for the majority theBe mimic worlds are the most Im-1 portant thing in college. J It. is the fraternity, says Dean McConn, that fos- ters theso activities to their fullest extent. Each j fraternity house is a center for the active, pulsating j life of the college. The fraternity takes the some-1 what puzzled college student who is really Incapable ! of getting the "higher education" the professors talk I about, and gives him the kind of training that he can assimilate. For this reason Dean McConn thinks fraterni ties are a good thing. "The fraterrltles are not undemocratic," he says. "The fact Is, that they are the refuge for what we may call the intellectual proletariat, and are devoted predominately to the democratic object bf training practical business men." Daily O'Colleyian Campus leaders at the State Uni versity of Texas have decided to abolish present, honor system. The committees have been appointed to investigate all posible substitu tions and means of improving the honor system. Townsenrl portrait photographrr-Ad ,r.
