Ono cannot help being reminded of
tho recent election of Dr. Jewott as"
librarian of this Institution of thtf
rapid growth, In lator years, of its
library, In 1892, as was mentioned In
yoBtorday's Nebraskanr tho number of
volumes was barely 15,000. 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." . .

To tho Editor of the Nebraskan:
"The spirit of morality seems to have
at last entered tho Unlversltyqf No-"
braska, and graft and corruption muat
go. 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
