Student Solution to Library Space Problem As the antiquated New- ton Library has continued to get busier, students have had to become more re- sourceful in order to get themselves a seat. Many tricks have recently been tried including; placing Save for the Librarian signs on carrols in the Ref- erence Room and putting sleeping maniquins in chairs to save the seat. Yet, even these drastic measures have been found to no avail. One group of students, who asked not to be identi- fied, have found what they consider to be the ultimate solution. To be assured of a seat, they have taken to camping on the Newton Li- brary steps. They generally pitch their tent around 12:30 and are awakened by the custodian coming to open the building around 7:00 the next morning. They have found that by this method they can get the choice seats staked out, with their tent poles, and keep their seats while they eat breakfast. During the day, those who do not have class, guard the seats of those who do. When asked if they could possibly have enough work to sustain the stay, they re- plied, The books on our subjects are so old that you have to spend literally hours extrapolating information and putting a modernized interpretation on it from periodicals. We anticipate keeping up our stay, with but little rotation, through the end of the exam period. Those staying for Summer Session are trying to make arrangements to set up the tent in the Newton Room on a permanent basis. Thus far, they have met with little success. Lieutenant Dan Bark of the Babson Police was quer- ied about the legality of the camp out. He replied, I don ' t know anything about it. I don ' t want to know any- thing about it. I don ' t want any hassles. Just leave me and Droopy alone will ya! He did say later, however, that a stay past four in the morning might make the campers subject to a re- stricted lot parking ticket. When asked why no tickets have yet been issued. Bark mumbled something about not being able to get the cruiser up the steps, and walked off. In response to the new drinking laws the Stu- dent Affairs Council has announced new Babson College regulations. The regulations were re- leased by Dean Stumpe ' s office following an all- day conference at Calla- han ' s. Starting immedi- ately no alcoholic bever- ages will be permitted on the Babson Campus at any time, in the posses- sion of anyone. Security will begin to make regu- lar use of their gates to search and inspect all cars entering the cam- pus. Only the Main en- trance will be used with the Bryant Gate being replaced by a statue of Roger W. Babson. The texts of three of his Pro- hibitionist Party speech- es will be reprinted at the base. Plans call for the statues dedication during Dry Fall Week- end. President Rulph Sor- endaughter has issued a Presidential Order to Security Chief Droopy authorizing spot checks of all dormitory rooms, lockers and administra- tive offices, excluding his own. Chief Droopy left campus shortly after receiving the order in the company of right- hand man Dan Bark. The two borrowed the new cruiser and were last spotted by Virginia State Troopers who were VALUABLE Good for 1 cent Off the 80 Babson i an wondering what a Bab- son was. An investiga- tion by Acting Chief and former Superintendent of Van Services, Ser- geant Loophole, dis- closed a scathing letter of resignation by the two. Apparently, they were highly indignant at the prospect of having to act like Police. Vice- President Just Money has had an APB issued on the car stating It ' s not paid for yet, besides, that loaner lawn mower from B G looks ridicu- lous with flashing lights! In a letter to the Board of Trustees Presi- dent Sorendaughter states in part We ' re better off this way, no more problems .... Now we ' ll be able to have a Founder ' s Day as Roger Envisioned it, with tea, milk and chocolate chip cookies; the benefits to our image will be immeasurable. Reaction of the stu- dent body has been largely unprintable but was aptly summed up by one student who said They don ' t have to wor- ry about a ' suitcase cam- pus ' on weekends, they have to think about the prospects of an ' empty campus ' during the week. This is what hap- pens when you make a King a Governor. COUPON Q.r ' SBBinnHKmsnDB
