Englis estate.
Organizational Problems
In the morning conclave, the
students discussed problems they
met in their organizations, A role-
play in which a group acted out a
theoretical meeting raised other
problems for general discussion
and solution.
The group found that good
spirit, leadership participation and
clarification of purpose or goals
were important in conducting a
successful meeting.
Dealing with the problem of
goals, students separated into
groups to discuss several questions
.involving interpretation and clar-
ification thereby demonstrating

FOREIGN AND CAMPUS LEADERS DISCUSS ORGANIZATIONAL PROBLEMS

RE C E N T L Y, while paging
through Poor Richard's Alma-
nac no mention of ERD DAY was
found.
However, there was discovered
in some of the writings of his
contemporaries that Benjamin
Franklin went through a traumat-
ic period of shock and strain.
There is a little known fact con-
cerning the "kite" experiment.
While carefully eyeing the flight of
his now famous kite, Franklin per-
ceived a foreboding revelation in
the horizon. Evidence has been
established of an 18th century
ERD DAY.

Prof. Robert Courte, a member

will be reviewed on the University's
"TV Hour" at 1 p.m. today over

ries, it will revolve around four

tory: the Battle of Iroquois Point,

the need and methods of having
clear and acceptable goals in
meetings.
Clear, Realistic Purpose
At the conclusion of the experi-
ment, the students observed that
a meeting's purpose should be
realistically attainable and clari-
fied by stating and restating it.
Methods for attracting new
members to an organization were
shown and discussed in the next
theoretical situation. One group
demonstrated the wrong method
of inducing new students to join
by being cold and uninterested. A.
second group enacted ways of in-

creasing membership by being
friendly and helpful.
Further small discussion groups
attempted to solve the problem of
the quiet member or non-partici-
pant. A chairman and recorder
were chosen who, unknown by the
group, purposely tried to draw
out a quiet person.
Decision-Making Discussed
Methods of reaching a deci-
sion without. alienating members
were also observed and practiced
in a discussion involving ways of
getting more foreign students to
take part in campus activities.

Results of a questionnaire filled
out by the participants showed
that they enjoyed the workshop
and felt that they had learned a
great deal from the demonstra-
tions.
Tom Leopold, '55, T a w f i g
Khoury, '55E, Dorothy Meyers, '55,
Jane Germany, 156 and Rasheed
Mur'iby, Grad. will discuss cam-
pus organizations in which foreign
students may wish to participate
at a dinner and panel discussion
at 5 p.m. today in the interna-
tional Center.

BOOKS ARE STORED IN DRAWERS WHICH EXTEND THE WIDTH OF THE SHELVES

. Air-conditioned, moisture-con-
trolled book stacks comprise a ma-
jor part of a library annex recent-
ly erected on North campus to take
care of the over-flow of books from
the General Library and its di-
visional libraries.
Books are stored in drawers
which extend the width of the
shelves to utilize the maximum
space available. Operating on ball-
bearings, the drawers open on
both sides of the shelves.
In addition, all books are clas-
sified by height, L nd stored ac-
cording to the classification. In
this way, tiers which are set aside
to store smaller volumes contain
more drawers.
Books which the library staff
considers least used will be stored
in the building, and one dailSr serv-
ice will operate between the new
annex and the General Library.
Initial material moved was that
which had been stored in the Busi-
ness Administration Library for
five years because the main library
could not handle it. In 17%/ days,
40,000 volumes were moved by the
library staff. The new building has
a minimum capacity of 400,000
volumes.
Also housed in the library annex
is the University bindery, which
repairs and binds books.
