To see the May Queen pass.
Lissom girls in purest white
Bearing the daisy cnain
Chant the ancient cadence
"Plant the ivy once again."
I am only looking on

The white-piumea neraias go
Ahead of the impressive line
Slowly nearing the royal mound
An? fnr a moment I am she
When I see the May yueen

and to serve them to the best of
their ability," continued Mr.
Doane. "In purchasing books, it
is done through agents in Chi
cago, New York, and Philadelphia,
London, Edinburgh. Paris. The
Hague, Leipzig, tieriin, aiaanu,
Copenhagen and Oslo, as well as
from individual book sellers
throughout the United States and
Europe, whose catalogs rrequenuy
contain material greatly needed to
fill in the lacunae in its collec
tions."
Thru its agents and other deal
ers the library adds about 7,000
volumes a vear to its collection.
This means that about twenty-five
books a day are aaaea to me li
brary, recorded In the catalogs,
and placed on the shelves for use.
Of the forty members of the staff,
about fifteen of them are putting
in full time accomplishing this
task. The other twenty-ive mem
bers are serving students and fac
ulty in the main library and va
rious branches, assisting, them to
make the best use of these books.
All books come to the main library
and are then distributed to the
branches. All orders are also made
from the office of the librarian.
"There has been a decided
chancre in the use of libraries in
the last twenty-five years," de
clared Gilbert Doane. "Formerly,
only the advanced students work
tnc on research oroiolems used the
library regularly but with the in
troduction of new metnoas or in
struction, the practice of referring
large classes of students to books
other than their texts baa com
into existence and a large propor
tion of the library's funds has been
consumed In the purchase of dup
licate copies of books for reserve
reading."
Must Assign Rooms.
Twenty-five years ago, the num-'
ber of books reserved for class
use was so small that they could
be handled at the circulation- desk
in the main reading room, of any
of the larger libraries. Today,
most of the large university librar-.
ics have been obliged , to assign
1 . J - m-UlnV. .,-
. U Liiuiu t ti-., m. . Hw
handle these reserve collection's
and to place several assistants in
charge of them.
"At the University of Nebraska,
we have two such reading rooms,"
Gilbert Doane went on, "one in the
old art gallery on the third floor of
library hall and the other in room
210 of social sciences building. It
requires six people to administer
the collections in thesa two rooms
which are open for fourteen hours
eacb day, or eignty nours a ween.
Most of the time it is necessary to
keen two people on duty with each
collection to serve the crowds of
students who use them.
"The expense of maintaining
these collections is Increasing
yearly, so it is becoming a moot
question as to whether it is tne
proper use of the library funds to
sunnort them or whether thev
should be placed on a rental basis
and students asxea to pay a nomi
nal fee for the use of these books,
which are really supplementary
texts, just as they pay for the use
of laboratories and laboratory
equipment," Librarian Doane said
in conclusion. "Many of the larger
institutions in tne country nav
been forced to charge a rental fee
for these books so this seems to be -
a tendency which we may have to
follow here at Nebraska."
TODAY'S STUDENT
IS M0T SERIOUS
SAYS E. MURROW
(Continued From Page 1)
the student body which the paper
represents.
Questioned concerning the
national aspects of the honor sys
tem, Mr. Murrow explained that
the only place where such a sys
tem works favorably at the pres
ent is in Southern institutions.
"An honor system can be suc
cessful only when a school is
strong in traditions and wnen tne
student body has a large measure
of responsibility in self-government,"
Mr. Murrow pointed out.
"This is especially true in southern
schools where the students are in a
more or less closely knit associa
tion, due to the fact that so many
of the families know each otner.
Th honor sentiment is also
strengthened by the fact that an
unusual stigma is attacnea io oemg
thrown out of school," he said.
Students Determine.
In most of the schools where the
honor system is particularly suc
cessful the students themselves
have the power to determine
whether or not a violator shall be
expelled. The faculty does not in
terfere for the most part but leaves
the matter entirely to student gov
erning groups, Mr. Murrow said.
In the Carolinas and in Virginia
this is especially true. Here, he
explained, the students are en
couraged to take as much respon
sibility as possible, and student
leadership is strongly emphasized.
Student councils give material aid.
largely in administrative and Judi
cative capacities. In view of con
ditions as reflected on college cam
puses over the country, Mr. Mur
row believes that the best way of
installing an honor system is to
develop a sense of responsibility in
student and leave enforcement up
to them.
The National Student Federation
of America would like to obtain
entrance on the University of Ne-
tn develon a sophisticated and
nrnridiv air which easily distin
guishes them from students in this
section of the country."
Discusses Drinking.
Concerniner the drinking ques
tion Mr. Murrow made it plain
that any accurate observation up
on th mriiArinn at nresem as com
pared with the situation in other
years would be hard to maae. cer
tain students on certain campuses
win riwiar that drinkinr is more
prevalent at the present time than
ever; otners Deneve unai mere um
hin a. marked decrease In student
drinking; while still another school
of observers think mat conditions
are about the same, he said.
When asked about Phi Beta
Kappa, Mr. Murrow had nothing
tn aav Mrpnt that he felt that Phi
Beta Kappa, like so many other
organizations, was merely an hon
orary. And there is a trend, he
ririAred. toward the creation of
ton manv nuch honorary ctouds
Thev are losing: their significance
and many of them are merely
"rackets" where a student pays a
sizeable initiation fee for some ac-
his library when they come on the
market. This means that he should
have at his disposal funds that will
enable nim to lane aavaniage vi
offers which come to his desk,
without adeauate book fund it
happens frequently that a good
offer must be turned down be
cause of lack of funds and possibly
a few years later this same set
must be purchased at two or three
times tne price oi uie urot uu.
