Circulation Desk Democracy
Over the circulation desk in
the reading room of the univer
sity library pass hundreds of
books each day. Presiding at
the desk are efficient, well
trained librarians who render
valuable aid in the way of in
formation and help to the stu
dents. Considering the facilities with
which the library employees
must work, no one can say the
library system is inefficient.
The regulations of the system,
however, are not so irreproach
able. In any democratic insti
tution such as the university
purports to be, justice to all
is the policy. The library ad
mits as much by stating at the
top of the "date due" sheet
pasted in each book that, in
fairness to other borrowers, the
book must be returned on time.
Within the sphere of the uni
versity, however, the rule does
not receive universal applica
tion. The library, as an integral
part of the university, is main
tained primarily for the vast
undergraduate student body.
They make up the majority of
the library's patrons. But the
students, unfortunately, are not
accorded the same privileges
given to graduate students and
instructors. Any student who
frequents the library has, at
one time or another, been cour
teously informed that a book
he is seeking is in the hands of
a graduate student who will
return it at - the end of the
semester or in the possession
of an instructor who will bring
it back when he it through
with it. These people are not
penalized as are the students
by cash penalties and two
week claims on books.
From these facts, one is
forced to conclude that the
library's lending policy is dis
criminatory and, therefore, un
democratic. Does not this mean
that some revision should be
made in the library rules?
Some change is indicated, at
least, if the library is to be
called a part of a democratic
institution.

The voting privilege
American citizenship is regarded
by every true American as sacred.
Among the many privileges that
citizenship offers is the right to
vote' and vote as one desires.
A university's objective, it seems
to me, should be to make every
student who goes to it, a more
cultured learned citizen who can
apply the knowledge he acquired
to the betterment of himself ana
his fellow men.
It seems that this university Is
overlooking a chance to help the
student attain better citizenship in
later life by permitting such poorly
run, ill managed student elections
such as that of last Tuesday. These
University of Nebraska elections
are regarded by the large majority
of the students as farces not even
worth going over and voting in.
Faculty members and students
alike are entirely indifferent to
who wins or loses. Rowdy exhi
bitions by small minorities before
these elections result in accidents
and adverse publicity for the university.
Why can't the university and its
faculty "talk up" student elections
by putting up posters making
every student think that it is his
sacred duty to vote? Why cant
the administration provide more
supervision to stop rumors of
'dirty politics once and for all?
Our school's ruling preventing any
form of written campaigning en
tirely dampens all spint of ' above
the board" electioneering. How
can any prospective voter remem
ber all the candidates and their
merits if they never hear of them
