Students and faculty have ex- pressed majop. complaints about too slow book withdrawal processes, books'lost and not replaced and conditions of library stacks. Examination of library process- V College Roundup 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. I LOVE THAT BOOKSHOP - Bob Marshall's 1 1 es reveals the cause of complaints stem from overcrowded, ineff°cient conditions, as well as present re- construction.

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. Construction of ninth and tenth floor stacks in the General Library.' 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- brary orientation program, it may be feasible to open the General1 Library stacks to more undergrad-l uates, Wagman said.I Borrowing books from the stacks, charging desk, where books are given out. The slip is placed in a tube at the desk and sent to the stack sta- 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." iN Aj '',?4 i i GLOVES, GIRLS, BASKETBALL (?)-Above shot, contributed by Allen Rumsey's Bob Schneider, is from action in Friday's basket- ball game between Rumsey and Helen Newberry. The two squads will play a return match Thursday, at the I-M Open House. 4, I 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. r r rirrr_ r . e sr rrwr r. rr !II Sigma Alpha Iota Chapter To Present Annual Musicale By ROBERTA FINKEL Alpha chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota will present its annual mu- sicale tonight at 8:30 p.m. in An- gell Hall's Auditorium A.
