ed Cubans z CVisit University SRoute To' Capital rDiSanmet EEpeds Liberal St dents Who Wanted Free Tuition . Exiled from the University Bula, in Cuba, because they wanted free student government, Barlos, Miguel and Daniel Bessnudez, accompanied by Manuel Garcia Sanchez, made their appearance on the campus of the University last week and pled their case before Gilbert Colina, a Cuban University of South Carolina student. While here, the quartet expressed wishes for the reopening not only of their University but also smaller Cuban institutions of learning which are also closed at present. The University of Havana was closed for the first time during the year 1927. This happened during the reign of the "Iron-handed President", Machado. The students were on their way to Washington, D. C. to complete secret plans. Being financially disabled, the boys were compelled to seek funds on the University campus. Their wishes were that Cuba should have a moral government and not' a military one, and that they wanted their university to be controlled by themselves and not by military hands. Due to having asked the government to give free tuition to students who really could not afford to pay, they said, a number of Cubans were either killed in the revolution or thrown out of the University. Most of the exiles fled to the United States. Approximately 400 or 500 Cubans are now registered in Universities and Col leges of Florida as a result of the Cuban Universities recently closed. "Forty or Fifty cents per day is all that is being paid laborers in Cuba at present," said one of the exiles. "This only applies to those who work in cane fields." Evans Motor Co.

What I am going to say with regard to the Library seems especially time y ly at the first of the session; and if your paper will grant me space, I n should like to say something that might stimulate a better spirit of cooperation between students and faculty and the library. Let me state at the outset, that these observations are in no way of ficial, but come unsolicited from one who works in a minor position there, but who has a keen desire for efficient I, service. d Most users of libraries do not realize that the preparation of books for e shelving, their arrangement on the shelf, n the catalogue, and the numerous records - necessary for making the books avail d able, is a science. A library is a store - house of the knowledge of the world, a that knowledge being stored away in the thousands of books. The catalogue e is an index to that knowledge, and its preparation entails a very broad educa tion. A liberal and advanced academic k training is required to admit one to a recognized school of library science, and a year's heavy work is necessary to com s plete courses leading to a degree. s I lence, the average user of the library has no idea of the wvork involved, and is inclinedl if his nieeds are not promptly d and cheerfully met, to consider the Ii brary inadequate and the librarian either t inefficient or unaccommodating. In our s library, a sttudent pays only $7.50 per year to use, if needl be, thousands of books, as well as the people wvho wvork there. Lack of funds prevents the University Library from employing as many trained librarians as would normally be con sidleredl necessary for its proper adminis , tration; nor can those who are employed (10 d justice to the many duties dlevolving - upon them, because of the very small I staff. A glance at the duties that are per formed by them, as well as a fewv stig gest ions as to howv the users can help, might be enlightening. A normally or ganizedI library has many dlepartments, each having its own staff :The admin - istrative, head librarian and his assis I tants, whose (duties involve the putting into operation of the machinery, or set-tup of the library, the cataloguing, technically trained persons, who properly classify and catalogtue the books; the ordler and accession, a trained clerical personnel; reference, wvell educated and . scientifically trained librarians; circu lation, further divided into the loan and reserve book departments, persons trained to keep adequate andl accurate records, properly care for the books and make them available for the greatest ntumber of people. Now let us see, in our library upon which these multittudinotus duties devolve. The -head librarian and his assistants can not confine themselves to admin istrat ion, they must be the book selec tion and order department, too, thec book-keeping department, and even serve as reference librarian, and page at times. There are only four people com petent to classify and catalogue books, but they can not confine themselves tc this work, btut must freqtuently do also what is normally done by people not so well trained. We have no reference librarian, ner Budget Adopted By "Y" Board Plan Student Activities .

The story is advertised as one hat "will be appreciated by every man who ever owned a dog."

Chief ly, the desk attendants, whose "only" ( !) other duties are getting and replacing books, circulation records, preparing "re serve" books so as to make them easily and readily available to the different I classes, typing, acting as hostess, guide, and page. And even with such limited duties to perform, they are sometimes 1 accused of being "hard-boiled"! From this small group of struggling servauts, the student (and professor) demands for his $7.50, instant production of the goods (often when he has given no ad equate idea of what he wants) or else permission to go to the stacks and look for himself, a setting aside of rules to accommodate -him, a reduction or waiv ing of a fine on a book he forgot to return, many concessions, patience, af fability, ubiquity, and omniscience. ie forgets that with privileges come re sponsibilities, and that lie, in return for this service owes some consideration to those who serve him. May I suggest a few ways in which the user of the library can make it a more mutually beneficial organization? He can make an earnest effort to use the catalogue as far as he can; and in c so far as subject heading, authors, and a titles can assist, make his own selection C of books to cover a given subject, and 1 then present the "call numbers"; or if 1 the information sought is of an obscure 1 nature, lie can be as specific as possible in defining his needs. It is unfortunate that the course in I library methods once required of alli Freshmen had to be discontinued, but even so they can learn a lot about the< catalogue from experience, lHe can a- t void asking for "reserve" books except for the time specified for their loan; he can remember to briiig books back< on time, or pay the fine cheerfully. I might say just here that in a college library much smaller than ours overnight books are charged for ,by the hour for over-due time, at twenty-five cents the hour. He can learn to use the general reference books, which are in the open stacks-encyclopedias, dictionaries, year books andl so on. And I'd like to say a word about one apparent complaint that users have: a failure to understand wvhy any and all books listed in the catalogue cannot be produced or accounted for. Obviously, when a book is not on the shlf, it is being used by someone, and should be charged to him; therefore, if there is no record of its being loaned, where is it ? It might have been put in the wrong place on the shelf (as some exceptions are necessarily made to our rules of closed stacks) or it might have been lost. We cannot assert that a book has been lost, because the small staff anid great amount of work has made it impossible to take regular inventories --a mammoth job. A very particular way in which pro fessors can render co-operation is by seniding in ahead of the needs of the classes assigned list of the books lie wishes out on reserve; otherwise, stu dents begin to call for them often be fore any list has been furnished; and alas! too often,-we must become mind readers and furnish the list ourselves. The librarian is glad to help collect andl distribute information; indeed, the tracing of some obscure fact, gives one quite a thrill; but he is never in a posi tion to devote much time to any one kind of duty. But with all that, it is an interesting job !
