Since that tlmo our library has been provided with a homo of Its own, and has at tained th,e creditable proportion of 70, 000 volumes. In addition to this growth In the numbor of Its volumes, new library methods have been Intro duced from time to tlme until now, with Its throe departmental branches, it Is one of the most efficiently man aged and best oqulppod libraries in tho West. IJut, tho. growth has been entirely, confined to tho slzo and equip roent, ,pf tho library. The demand among tho students for' books has also increased rapidly It Is claimed "by representatives of publishing houses who hav.p visited tho libraries of every university In the West that the Ne braska library Is used by more stu dents in proportion to the size of Its student body .than tho library of any othor instltutlqn wcBt of. the Allegheny v .mountain.B. , v ' Theso.- facts, insignificant as - they may seem, , prove very conclusively what can. bo done by strlot economy and careful management There is "perhaps no other, university of our rank that makes loss provision In a' financial way-for Its library than we, and, yet ours Is a library which both In size, management and patronago compares very favorably with Tho libraries of those Institutions which spend more for books alone than Ne- braska pays for books and faculty combined. nine-tenths of. tho student body.and yet, do they glvQnlne-tonths of tho support to'sludent rind University en terprises? I say no, and emphatically so at that. Thoy do not glvo even ono per cent of tho support that tho stu dents glvo to University enterprises. Take, for instance, any of the Unlver- verslty dances, and wo find sometimes none, and never more than ton at any one of these functions. The "football benefit" given, at tho Oliver this win der was attended by very few barbs, .as well as tho Cornhusker banquet last fall. The total numbor of barbs ;ut that banquet outside of members of the team did not exceed five men. When an appeal was made to tho dif ferent organizations to help raise a fund to send Nebraska's representa tives to tho Football Rules Committee meeting, tho barbs put up ono dollar nnd twenty-flvo cents to' tho frat men's $88.75. At tho recent football game the windows, stairways and every pos sible excessible place where tho game could bo watched from was crowded with our friends, the barbs. Yet they claim public spirit. These are but a few of the things that could bo stated, yet they claim that tho University student body should, on bended knee, tender every ofllco to members of their fold. Then, by way of a climax, they offered the Athletic'Board a plain bribe of $150 if they would abolish the poll tax of twenty-five cents. Of course every Ono takes It for granted that the Asso ciated Barbs would have presented the fioard with this donation if tho tax had been removed at the first request. The" reason there is no doub't of this Is that the barbs-hayo been so public spirited in the past. But now they wish to come to the rront, and pose as the moral a'genfs of the University. The whole caso of thp barbs sim mered down Is this 1 They want some thing for nothing. No ono doubts but what they would put up a, large "slush" fund and ubo it to a finish If thoy were not such a bunch, of tight ones." . . F. L.

No longer will such a thing be al lowed to demoralize tho standing of our groaUTnlVorslty. The frat men fc must either come to our terms, or have their every enterprise, boycotted." Such" was the atatomont of a promi nent barb student on yesterday. For the past two weeks the barbs of the ' Uniyerslty of Nebraska have taken the attitude of "Frenzied Finance" Law- the eon, and are attempting to lay blame' of their so-called "corruption" upon the fraternity men. They claim that their .hands are absolutely free from any corrupt politics .that may havo been carried on In tho University in the past, "and that it is up to thein to reform things. Since they compose, ninety per cent of the' student body and are in the majority in number, they demand every official position at the hands of ttyo students. v It is true .that they compose some University of Nebraska, Llncolri, May 1, 1900. To the Editor ol The Nebraskan: As chairman of the committee on. 'resolutions of tho organization of non fraternity men, I feel called upon to make the following communication: I do not attend tho games of the University regularly, not because I am not Interested In them and In Nebras ka's success In every game, but for the simple reason that I am not' finan cially able to afford such luxuries con tinually. Nevertheless, I have never watched a game from tho windows of tho societies or from those of tho law 'library. Neither have I over been so fortunate as to bo supplied with ono of the great number of "comp's" inci dent to a game to entitle' me to ''attend the game. What games I havo at tended I have paid for just the same as the great majority of those do who lend their support to athletics. And from my personal acquaintance with those who are interested in having the nthletlp tax removed, J. thlnkj.am.safe In saying that thoy are not a" class of men who would sneak Into vacant rooms Where they may enjoy the games without paying the price. ' Now, since the passing of the resolu tions by tho Barb association, thoy have received the approval of the TAKE THE TIGHTIOAD JLVy -r FROM OMAHA CHICAGO GREAT Chicago .... .
