Booster Banquet last Tuesday night, the captains of the finance teams and their assistants are on a hunt among the students of the University for the elusive doUar, that $300 may be raised during the coming week. That they are on a fair way toward success seems to be proven by the fact that $37 was rais ed in the first half day. The $300 in question is the amount raised annually for the University budget by subscription of the stu dents. The fraternities are divided among the teams. The captain and his assistant will call at the house he drew, present the facts and argu ments and ask that cards in his pos O ° session be filled out with amounts according to the students’ ability to give. With a reasonable response the amount will easily be raised. The captains of the finance teams are: John Black, Bert Lombard, Wm. Murphy, David Glass, Leslie Tooze, Lamar Tooze, Vernon Mots chenbacher, Otto Heider, Carlyle Geisler,' Merle Moore, Walter Church and Walter Dimm. Due to the success of Rhodes scholars in Freshman athletics at Oxford, Rhodes shcholars who have been residents of universities or sim ilar institutions are barred from practicing in Freshman sports.

UNIVERSITY LIBRARY NOW CONTAINS 45,192 BOOKS Collection Ranks Above Other Colleges of Northwest in Size The University of Oregon Library ' with 45,192 books, ranks favorably j in size with tli© libraries of other Western state universities. .The Uni versity of Washington, with four times as many students and twice as many instructors, has 1000 less. At the University of Idaho, thero are the same approximate number of in structors, 100 less students and one lialf the number of books? At the close of the year 1911, the University was accredited with 38, 000 volumes, the present number re presenting an increase in two years of over 7000. So far^his year, thei^ have been 5200 books added. The growth of the Library has been greatly hampered during the past two years because of the Referendum on the University appropriations. The annual allowance for books and periodicals is $10,000, but due to the more urgent' need for money in other departments, the amount allot ted to the Library was cut down to $5000. The books are purchased di rectly from the publishing houses, only a few being donated each year. According to the Librarian, M. H. Dougalss, the average number of books missing each year ranges around 200. All except fifty or sixty are located and returned. The only source of revenue, other than the amount appropriated is from the fines assessed against de linquent book borrowers. Last year the sums collected in this manner amounted to $50. Mr. Douglass says that this year’s fines will be less than those of last year. H.
