OPEN WINDOW POLICY:
Spring Breezes
ThroughLibrary
By ROSEMARY OWEN
Spring air conquered the stale
fumes of steam heat in the Gen-
eral Library, as staffers opened the
windows to admit the balmy
breezes.
The musty aroma which had
brought forth many student com-
plaints was completely dispelled
when the arrival of Spring warmth
allowed librarians to break the
three month tradition of closed
windows.
* * *
THE CUSTOM of leaving the
windows closed followed a Plant
Department directive to conserve
coal by not allowing buildings to
cool off at any time.
Though the heat was still
pouring into the reading rooms
from the radiators, librarians
waged a vigorous battle to keep
the odor from becoming offen-
sive.
"If it's too hot, I'll open some
more windows," one staffer apolo-
gized.
STUDENTS WERE quick to re-
cognize that a new smell was in
the air, and signs of spring fever
could be seen throughout the
building.
In the reading rooms, sleepy
students snoozed over half-open
Obstetricians
To Meet Here
Michigan Society of Obstetri-
cians and Gynecologists will meet
today at the University.
Dean Albert Furstenberg of the
medical school will address the 175
members of the society. One of
five guest lecturers is Dr. George
Kamperman, emeritus chief of ob-
stetrics at Harper Hospital and
formerly of the University and
Wayne University.
texts, while graduate students in
the stacks carrells gazed long-
ingly out the window.
The library steps were occupied
all day by students who just stop-
ped to admire the day, in distinct
contrast to the pre-vacation per-
iod where the entrance-ways to the
library were as lonely a spot as
could be found.
Arts 'Union
Will Choose
New Heads
A new executive council will be
elected at the annual membership
meeting of the Inter-Arts Union
at 2 p.m. Saturday in the League.
Members of the IAU include
everyone who has worked on any
of the Inter-Arts projects this
year, Chuck Olsen, council mem-
ber said
* * *
COUNCIL. MEMBERS, elected
for year-long terms, act as co-
ordinaters of Inter-Arts activity,
Olsen explained.
To be sure that all of the
arts are represented, five mem-
bers are elected from each "in-
terest group." This provides for
students interested in music,
dance, acting and all other art
areas to choose their own repre-
sentatives, he said.
Inter-Arts officers are elected
by the Council from their member-
ship, in much the same way as
the Student Legislature Cabinet
is selected, he said.
* * *
DURING THE PAST year, the
Inter-Arts Union has produced
"Murder in the Cathedral," a bill
of one-acts, "Closed Session," and
"A Phoenix to Frequent." The IAU
formed and published "Genera-
tion," new campus art magazine,
and held a three day Student Art
Festival.
Plans for the remaining of the
semester call for a modern dance
festival featuring professional dan-
cers, Sunday night work-discus-
sion groups, and a Student Art
Exhibit which IAU will join the
National Student Association in
bringing to this campus.
