ACCORDING TO Samuel W. MacAllister, associate director of
the library, carrells are assigned to persons doing research on upper
levels.
"They provide easy access to library materials necessary for
the writing of doctoral theses, articles, monographs and research
studies of all types," MacAllister explained.
Carrells are usually assigned close to the section containing liter-
ature which will best satisfy the individual's needs, he said.
"READING MATERIALS are merely taken to the carrells," Mac-
Allister continued, "where an attendant checks theme twice daily.
With 4,000 graduate students on campus, MacAllister pointed
out that more than three times as many persons apply for carrells
as are available.
"Consequently, more than one person must be assigned to each
compartment. Such assignments make for inconvenient crowding."
IN THE REQUESTS for building appropriations now being de-
bated in the State Legislature, he continued, $2,500,000 has been spe-
cified as the amount needed for an addition to the library. Plans for
this addition, he added, include provisions for four to five times as
many carrells as are now available.
Plans for individual reader's desks with attached panels for pri-
vacy will replace the present partitioned cubby-hols, MacAllister said.
The advantages of this design are mobility and economy, he explained.

PRIVILEGED CHARACTERS-Those assigned to carrells have an advantage over regular students
in that they are allowed to roam through the stacks and freely select materials. Books may be kept
in the carrells for as long as they are needed after which an inserted card instructs the carrell at-

Peger Asked
To House
Labor Talky
WASHINGTON - () -West-
brook Pegler was subpoenaed yes-
terday by a House Labor subcom-
mittee studying "democracy in un-
ions."
Rep. Jacobs (Dem., Ind.), head
of the subcommittee, said Pegler
has been called to testify on July
7 at 9:30 a.m.
THE SUBPOENA, he said, was
issued as a result of a newspaper
article by Pegler in which the col-
umnist "claims to have a treasure
of information on the subject with
which my subcommittee is deal-
ing."
"Naturally," Jacobs' added,
"we want to get all the informa-
tion we can get on democratic
or undemocratic practices in un-
ions."
Jacobs insisted that the sub-
poena has nothing to do with ar-
ticles Pegler has written about
Jacobs.
"It is no personal feud as far
as I am concerned," he said. "I
personally disregard the things he
has said about me."
