ln charge of cataloging over l,OOO new arrivals each month, catalog librarian Mrs. Mariorie Knapp makes addition to the carcl files. Books, books, books, books, books, books, books, books ,... 54,000 books. This is the present total of bound volumes available in the Valley College library. Librarians are finding it increasingly difficult to store these books in a building which was originally designed to hold 44,000 volumes. This number is in- creasing by leaps and bounds, since the library receives well over 1,000 books a month. Expectations are high that extra school tax income or federal aid will soon supply the much needed addi- tion to the library. Book shelves are temporarily replacing the desks that were available for students doing class work. Al- though this crowded condition exists, limited study facilities are still available. The seating capacity, how- ever, has been cut to 380. The main section of the library, which was once a study hall, is now restricted to browsing. The heavy iniiux in volumes has necessitated the hiring of extra librarians and 15 student workers to help with cataloging and shelving. Mrs. Marjorie Knapp, Mrs. June Biermann, Mrs. Barbara Toohey, Richard Mohan and Mrs. Dorothy Griffin can be found daily from 7:45 a.m. until 4 p.m. to help with any book problems. Librarians predict that by the year 1966, unless remedies are found, 16,000 books will be shelfiess.

, Roy Lennert played a that swept the range of theatrical emotion. So good was the plot, characters and message that it would be easy to pass over the professional work of the production staff. With precisioned timing, the light- ing was excellent. The tempo of Tea and Sympathy never slowed, with action always exploding on the two-stage setup. Its technical excellence, along with well-schooled ac- tors, made it a fast-moving play with a lasting message. Team came as a surprising breakthrough in the college theater with its emphasis on the message of tolerance. Val1ey's Tea and Sympathy was, indeed, drama at its best. jerry Brown delivered his stellar performance with overpowering command. In his part asa sensitive youth, fighting for manhood, he outwardly craved the love which Miss Burnett, as Laura, was ready to give. So good was Brown's showing that he drew notice to the universality that man is too quick to judge other men and often hates in them what he actually dislikes in himself. Magnetically Miss Burnett showed such genuine warmth that it seemed in complete keeping with her own character. It was as if she were playing herself. As the pulse of Tea,'t she gave the play the affection which made it a hit. Truly, Miss Burnett lived and was Laura Reynolds. Roy Lennert was so convincing in his part as Tom Lee's father that his acting provoked hate at times, and in other instances the audience was moved to sympathy for the man who was so out of touch with reality. On the other hand, jan Crawford was just as dy- namic in his character of Tom's somewhat understand- ing roommate. He instilled hope, companionship and love into Tea, emotionally packed rincipals Laura and to grips with reality. Y The original star ot the Broadway version ot Tea and Sympathy, .lohn Kerr, attended a Saturday night performance with his wife, center. They are conferring outside the theater with an interested member ofthe audience.
