LIBRARY NEW During exam week of fall term students were seen carrying big piles of books down the hall from the old library to the soon-to-be new library. The volunteers received free coffee and rolls for their hard labor. Our new library is now able to accommodate many more students and books. There is no longer a problem of trying to find a seat or to get a magazine from two years ago. Ladders aren't needed to get books from the top shelf and there is room to read the newspaper too. For the first time, the library is open on school nights from 6 to 9. Thus it serves the general public as well as the students. Through the library victrolas, projectors, tape-recorders and screens for movies may be used for classes. 82
