Music, current news make for pleasant year at library With the greater pressures of a shorter fall semester and the hectic, condensed Jan-term courses, the library served as an excellent instrument for Evangel scho- Iars. Albums 'on stock provided easy listening music for students who wished to com- bine their reading with a favorite tune. Reference material compiled by instruc- tors of the various disciplines helped supplement the deficiency of current re- search information. The strategically placed daily and weekly newspapers became a choice spot to find out what was happening across the coun- try and around the world. Among the newspapers available to students were the E Francisco Chronicle, 1119 Lon- cm Times, and the WV York Times. Mrs. Frances Berkihiser, library director, was aided by Miss Esther Fritz, Miss Eleanor Parry, and Mrs. Jean Smith in leading students to necessary knowledge.
