Comp airing the old and new libraries, one finds that the new library quarters pro- vide countless improvements over the other, antiquated room. When the observer first walks into the old library, he at once becomes repulsed by dingy green, water stained walls, while he is comforted by the wood paneling of the new library. Inspecting the repugnant environment of the former library further, the person is shocked by the sight of cracks running down the walls, warped wood, uneven floors, a corroded fire en- tinguisher, and a set of filing cabinets rejected from World War II. On the other hand, the new library has a most plea- sant atmosphere, as there are screens on the windows to keep flies from harassing stu- dents, a carpet on which the students can rest their feet, attractive drapes, a heat regulator that works effec- tively, and lights that operate when they are supposed to.
