Abstract
The CIV and SiIV resonance doublets of 43 Be stars are investigated. Measurements of the equivalent widths seem to reveal a correlation between the strenght of the lines and the projected rotational velocity (v sini). it is discussed whether this result indicate that the wind region is not spherically symmetric.
