Slow Library Service Draws Criticism
By JANET Wr4CZEWSKI
The General Library has beenI
the brunt of criticism in recent
months for its alleged "slowness"
in operations.
Students and faculty have ex-

too slow book withdrawal processes,
books'lost and not replaced and
conditions of library stacks.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI has abolished all class cuts,!
according to The Mississippian, campus newspaper.
The school, which previously allowed cutting classes as long as it
was not "excessive" has passed a new ruling which requires anyone
missing class to present a "legal excuse."
Individual instructors may not authorize "bolts" and any classes
missed will be taken into consideration when final grades are deter-
mined.

A relatively small structure, this
building contains 400,000 volumes.
Obtained on Request
These books, and those in attic
storage, are on file in the general
library, and can be obtained on
request within a day's notice.

soon to be completed, will provide
additional book room in the near
future, Wagman commented.
Everyone is not permitted to use
the stacks because of confusion
which would result. Stack permits
are necessary for entering the
stacks, and must be shown when
users of the stacks withdraw books.
With the completion of the Un-
dergrad Library next September
and the origin of a freshman li-

The slip is placed in a tube at

tions -where the book is kept.
Stack workers read the slip, fill
the order if possible and place the
wanted book on the only workable
lift, which carries the volume back
to the main desk.
If books are for use within the
building, slips marked "Building
Use Only" will be placed in them.
Books allowed overnight circula-
tion are dated in the back of each.
Search Made
When a General Library book
cannot be located, the applicant
may request the Charging Desk to
make a special search for it. A
report will be ready the following
day.
A book which cannot be found
within a two week period is termed
lost and is reordered.
The General Library, like most
large research libraries, has not
been able to take an inventory in
many years because of the time
and the expense involved.
THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO Daily reports that the silent
record in the student union juke box has been removed.
Only one-half of one per cent of the students interviewed in an
all-campus poll appreciated the silence. "The poll also claims that
silence 'is out of keeping with the riotous environment of the grill.'"
University of Colorado students do appreciate rock 'n roll, the
report mentioned. It is also noted that the silent record lost money
during the time it remained in the juke box to the tune of five cents
a day.
THE DAILY REVEILLE of Louisiana State University has charged
that its student cafeteria could now pass "only as a second-rate
hash house."
Besides high prices the complaints are attributed to "the male
students at LSU who have become disgustingly particular about what
they eat. Now they demand toast that tastes like toast."

GLOVES, GIRLS, BASKETBALL (?)-Above shot, contributed by

will play a return match Thursday, at the I-M Open House.

Despite a double handicap, an
Allen Rumsey basketball squad
came from behind Friday night to
edge Helen Newberry, 13-12.
Rumseyites, wearing boxing
gloves on each hand, were re-
quired to play under girls' bas-
ketball rules.
Due to their gloved hands, all
field goals for the Rumsey squad
came from within six feet of the
basket.
Ann Patterson '60 headed the
Newberry scorers with seven
points.
Tony Taddeo, '58E of the gloved
unit, evened Patterson's tally.
Members of the Rumsey group
testified that despite the boxing
gloves Taddeo was able to make a
foul shot.
Rumsey men reported that the
Newberry contingent attempted a
total of 20 foul shots.
"They weren't very good," re-
ported a Rumsey played. "They
only made two shots from the foul
line."
Referees were: Sheila Guifke,
'60, Caroline Strutz, '60N, and
Mary Collins, '60, of Newberry, and
Joe Johnston, '58, of Rumsey.
