Olivet responds to the call Who minds giving blood with nurses like this around? Danny Gold bravely rolled up his sleeve and gave. Temperature, blood pressure, heart beat— roll up your sleeve! The day finally arrived and a dubious crowd of students filled Birchard Field- house. The occasion was the annual visit of the Bloodmobile. Students filing slowly into the gym were met by an array of thermometers, needles, tables, and nurses. Fainting seemed to be the popular thing as some of our burly, muscle- bound male students passed out at the sight of blood. But even this didn ' t daunt us. Reminding ourselves of the great need, we grimaced and walked hesitantly to the tables. It was over be- fore we knew it and we walked confidently out to brag about our bravery. An interesting sidelight of the campus blood donation was a contest held between the fellows and girls to see which group could recruit the most donors. The weaker sex came through with 101 signing up; the guys signed up 94. Olivet ' s contributions totaled 171 pints, 50 pints above the quota. Minnie Woo missed the weight requirement by one pound in the examination given by the Red Cross. Here Mrs. John Zopf checks her blood pressure.

Closed classes, conflicts, confusion r The Recital Hall looks like Grand Central Station with registration in full swing. Where ' s my counselor . . . who signs here . . . when is that class . . . what is this blank for . . . how do I get to the payment line . . . Frustration rules as students scurry blindly around the Ad Building trying to find answers. Lines form for chapel seat assignments, car stickers, meal passes, library cards, until finally one is standing in line to stand in line. This year Olivet ' s enrollment increased considerably. The total enrollment for the year 1960-1961 was approxi- mately After registration is completed students are anxious to get to class to find out what they have signed up for. Some- times they are surprised. But one consolation is that an- other registration is coming up and they may be able to get the courses they need and want the next time. The end of the line is a welcome sight. Registration initiates our new faculty members. The bookstore is crowded as students prepare for classes.

Students handle the job of checking hooks in and out of the library. We come here to study, browse, do research I. D. card, please! These are familiar words to the Olivet student who uses the Memorial Library. Our library augments our classroom study by furnish- ing research material, collateral, periodicals, and film- strips. Other features for our enjoyment are the music library, art displays, and novels. We use our library daily to study, to browse, and to do research. A scholarly atmosphere is maintained by our always-on-the-job librarians, Ruth Gilley and Adeline Van Antwerp, and the staff of students. Checking out books, collecting fines, counselling stu- dents, filing, cataloging, reshelving books, and an end- less number of other duties are taken care of by this capable staff. To them we give thanks for keeping our library a place which is conducive to good study habits. Carrells are convenient places to do research . Lewis finds the Rare Book Room an inter- esting place to browse. 24
