Study . . Research In Memorial Library The Memorial Library is frequented by students in search of informa- tion, books, and solitude for study. The carrells are used by those students wishing to use reference materials, maga- zines, and journals. Whether searching for research material, browsing for books to read for enjoyment, or studying, many Olivetians make daily use of the Memorial Library. There are two spacious reading rooms and there are individual carrels near the open stacks located on each floor. There is a typing room where students may type notes from reference books, periodicals, or other ma- terials. A music room provides an opportunity for students to hear recordings and to study the scores at the same time. Other features for our enjoyment are the art displays, periodicals, and filmstrips. The library is efficiently operated by the staff of librarians, Ruth Gilley, Adeline Van Antwerp, Joyce Cox, and Mrs. Isenberg. The duties of filing, checking out books, collecting fines, and reshelving books fall to student assistants. ONC library is one of the best among colleges of ONC ' s size. Learning to use the helps of the library, such as the well-equipped card catalog room, adds to the convenience of studying.

Housing Our homes at Olivet Nesbitt Hall A dial, a ring, a date. The phones are kept busy con- stantly. A little chatter, a 7Up, and an apple, after studies are done, aid in relaxa- tion. Mrs. Emily Reeves, Head Resident Counselor for the Women, stops for a short break daring her busy day. Was that buzz three shorts or two longs? or Was that my buzzer? are questions often asked with emo- tion by Nesbitt Hall residents, for the buzzers announce the arrival of guests or telephone calls, possibly from home. Both are delights of the Nesbitt Hall residents. Whose iron is this? and Who ' s popping the corn? are common questions heard in the laundry rooms located on each floor. In a private room late at night, When are you going to sleep? is asked by a sleepy roommate possibly of a person found studying for that big exam the next day or trying to catch up on things put off until tomorrow. Music on the stereo in the parlor provides a background for the conversation of couples which Occupy it. On Thursday evening, the T.V. room and the adjacent kitchen can be reserved for the girls to entertain their dates with a home-cooked meal. The arrival of a new stereo in the dorm stirs up quite a bit of excitement.
