Joan Patterson, the head librarian, said the library's primary purpose is to "have the public library atmo- sphere as a social/cultural meeting place." Residents can enjoy the quiet, easy-going atmosphere while relaxing, doing homework, reading the various newspapers and maga- zines, or meeting new people. "It's a place to take a break," said Joe Long, a first-year physics gradu- ate student. "I read the magazines and listen to the good music." "It's nice to come in and read the magazines," said Henry Paillere, a French graduate student. "You can play chess and listen to the music and unwind." Patterson is arranging educational programs for Baits residents. She has established a workshop in conjunc- tion with the Sexual Assault Preven- tion and Awareness Center (SAPAC) to discuss acquaintance rape. She also plans to invite faculty members to give lectures related to current campus, health, and political issues. To complement the educational programming, Patterson plans to ar- range entertainment programs such as game tournaments and movie nights. "We're working to expand the collection of all of our materials with Baits residents',needs and inter- ests in mind," Patterson said. "I work from residents' suggestions in the library to determine what we will purchase." The library's size and collection are smaller than the other residence hall libraries. Patterson said that the other residence halls on campus were designed with a library in mind, but space was not set aside for one in Baits. Approximately 40 to 50 people visit the library each night, Patter- son said. She hopes attendance will increase. The library advertises its educational and entertaining pro- grams in the resident newsletter Ver- baitim. The Baits library was opened be- cause "residents expressed a need and an interest in having their own li- brary," said John Heidke, associate director for residence education. The Housing Department decided to open the library to emphasize its belief "in linking education in and out of the classroom." Heidke also said residents subsi- dize the library through their room and board. The library incurs most of its expenses through increasing its collection and paying its library as- sistants. Every residence hall except Fletcher Hall has extensive libraries which are run by a head librarian and library assistants. Students can visit any library, but residents can borrow materials only from their own li- braries. I 33.27-., a.. f t _. __ s; _, f - ..

The walk, also known as CROP Walk, serves as a fundraiser for the Church World Service (CWS), a re- lief, development, and refugee assis- tance arm of the National Churches of Christ in the United States. The proceeds from yesterday's Hunger Walk, expected to exceed $4,200, will be divided among local and in- ternational charities. Local organizations receiving aid include the Ann Arbor and Ypsi- lanti Salvation Army, the Commu- nity Action Network, St. John the Baptist Church Food Cupboard, the Second Baptist Church Human Ser- vices Program, and the S.O.S. Community Crisis Center. Overseas funds are distributed through CWS churches in Cambodia, Nambia, and Panama. CROP Walk Coordinator Donna Ainsworth said participants are from many different backgrounds. Often, fellow church members sponsor the walkers, she said. Carol McCrae, a fifth-year walker and member of Memorial Christian Church, received $225 in pledges. McCrae said the walk has changed over the past few years. "I see less students now and more families," she said. Ann Munster, an Ann Arbor resi- dent and 1969 University graduate, finished the walk first. "I ran the whole thing," she said excitedly. Munster was impressed with CWS's aid efforts because "they try to help people become self-sufficient." Munster's said the most interest- ing part of the walk was the stop at the Zen Buddhist temple. "Everyone got to use the*bathroom - if we agreed to take our shoes off," she said. Don Fitch, a first-year participant in the walk, completed the walk in an hour and 15 minutes. Fitch said along the way, traffic waited for the walkers and even tooted their horns * for encouragement. The walkers arrived at the finish line and found a simple meal of soup and bread awaiting them "to reflect how the poor people of the world eat every day," said Wendy Gage, a worker at the walkers' check-in desk. The walk started and finished at the First Presbyterian Church on Washtenaw. I U INTERESTED IN ADVERTISING?

BERMAN Continued from page 1 screaming man then had to be dragged from the room, during which time Berman recognized him as the man from three years ago. "I just tore him apart, and he stalked me for three years," he said. Berman remembers using humor as a defense mechanism. "From 6th grade through high school I was a short little fat kid... my way to get attention was by joking," Berman said. "I realized how much I liked to make people laugh... 1,500 people is quite a rush." For now, Peter Berman is living the life of a comedian, traveling around the country and performing. Although it sounds like the glam- orous life, Berman asserts, "It's a Catch-22, it's great, but it stinks... I'm living out of a suitcase." Eric Kurit, committee chair of Laugh Track, said, "He has a lot of potential (and he) relates well to the audience, he will definitely go really big." Tom Franck, current performer and frequent host at Laugh Track, agreed, "(Peter's) ability to be bomb-proof (on stage), no matter how bad the situation is (his strength), he will always come through." y! Idg VOTE Continued from page 1 planning to vote for the requirement though she has "great doubts as to whether current social issues should ever be brought into the classroom." While Scodel said racism is a se- rious problem, she said any curricu- lum which tells students how to think and act is inappropriate. She finds the proposed classes to be more acceptable than last year's because they attempt to make students think more and the "more thoughtful you are, the less racist you are." History Prof. Terrence McDon- ald, said he will vote for the faculty proposal, which he co-authored. He said the faculty proposal is the strongest because it has the broadest program. He also said it is designed with a "mechanism for faculty initia- tive in planning the courses and an interactive relationship between the faculty and the curriculum commit- tee." Although the professors were re- luctant to make predictions about the outcome of today's vote, McDonald said "something will pass but I'm not sure which one." The fate of the proposal "depends on how well attended the meeting is," Scodel said. "The other meeting was well attended with lots of en- ergy. There is less interest now," she said. Dunn agreed that attendance at the meeting as well as what is said will be a deciding factor. He added that the faculty are divided on this issue as are many other groups of people on campus. "There are many swing votes. It will be very close either way," he said. TYLE 0 V ; ; + ,i Need the hot news fast? Find it in the Daily.
