'Light Up'
In Library
Increased tuition and an extra
walk to Yost Field House for foot-
ball tickets weren't the only sur-
prises in store this fall for the
more than 20,000 students on cam-
pus.
A most unexpected sight was
found in the main library in the
first floor study hall. Posted on
the door is a sign "Smoking per-
mitted."
When the incredulous student,
thinking that someone has made
a grave error, peers through the
glass door, he sees long rows of
deep, glass ash trays.
To confirmheven further that
the days of the cigarette breaks
in the salmon-colored, window-
less cubicle are gone forever, the
student observes fellow smokers
through a somewhat hazy atmos-
phere lost in their books, absently
puffing away.
The innovation not only serves
the pleasurers and comfort of the
student smoker, but also will pre-
vent violations in the no smok-
ing areas. With the high ceiling
and many windows providing ade-
quate ventilation, the study hall
becomes an appropriate place 'for
the smoking populace.
For the smoke-allergic student,
books in this study hall can be
checked out of the library or used
in other rooms.
The non-smoking student, how-
ever, will by no means be neglect-
ed in the future. When the new
library is built on campus and
smoking is permitted on every
floor of the building, officials will
certainly remember to set aside a
room with a 'sign:
"Non-smokers permitted."
Community
Life Theme
Of Program
International Students at the
University and opportunities for
them to know American family,
church and community life was
the theme of an N.B.C. radio
broadcast over Station WWJ, De-
troit, from 10:15 to 10:30 p.m.,
Wednesday.
Interviewed Rumman
Mary Margaret McBride inter-
viewed Doris Reed Rumman Pro-
testant Counselor for Internation-
al Students at the University and
Janice Miller, new Administrative
Assistant at the International
Center and chairman of the In-
ternational Students' Project for
the United Church Women of Mi-
chigan.
The program is the first in a
series of six on "Citizens in Ac-
tion" which N.B.C. is scheduling
to demonstrate what the United
Church Women of America can
achieve by united action in local
Communities.
Unique Program
The unique Protestant counsel-
ing program which developed at
the University in 1947 to "serve
students of all faiths and cul-
tures" is spotlighted in this first
program of the series to suggest
to people of other states how they
may be of help to students from
other lands.
The United Church Women of
Michigan are among the chief
supporters of this counseling ser-
vice to students from abroad,
which is under the direct auspices
of the Protestant Foundation for
International Students.
Crash!
DETROIT UP .- Mrs. De-
lores Hlaburne told a surprised
traffic court her husband was
"quite pleased" when she dam-
aged the family car.
She was charged with inter-
fering with traffic July 30 when
the car crashed into another
driven by Henry Kwiecinski
"He was quite pleased," she
replied. "In the first place he
was pleased because I was not
hurt. And in the second place
he was pleased because ... well,
you see, he's a car salesman and
he sold Mr. Wwiecinski's new
car on the spot."
She won a suspended sen-
tence.
Kronick Lauds
Arrangement
'Of Library
"The new medical library pro-
vides the comfort of a living room
with the customary regimentation
of arrangement sometimes found
in libraries," said newly-appoint-
ed divisional librarian David Kro-
nick.

Kresge Medical Library will be,
is a graduate of Western Reserve
University. He received his A.B.

During the war, Kronick was a
medical supply officer with the
302nd Station Hospital, serving
in England, France and Germany.
He was discharged with the rank
of Captain in the Medical Service
Corps.
Returning to Western Reserve,
Kronick served as Medical School
librarian from 1947 - 1950. From
1951 to 1953 he attended the Uni-
versity of Chicago Graduate Li-
brary School, completing the basic
requirements toward his Ph.D.
For the past two years, Kronick
was Armed Forces Medical Librar-

Washington, D.C. He is a mem-
ber of the American Library As-
sociation, the Medical Library As-
sociation and the History of Sci-
ence Society.
