Library grows with coilege With a selection of 95,000 volumes of books and one of the largest periodi¬ cal collections in the Kansas City area, the Park College Library is the center for reference and learning needs on the campus. The library is a member of the Mid America Inter Library Loan Service (MAILS) which is a service offered to li¬ braries across the country. Marjorie Sell¬ er and Genevieve Gwyn operate MAILS and were assisted by five students. A Catalogue Card Service that prints cards for many other institutions besides Park is another service offered by the library. Ken Eggleston and Eleanor Greenshields ran the service with the help of six stu¬ dents. Harold Smith is the Head Librarian and was assisted by Eggleston. Eggle¬ ston, however, retired at the end of the 1980-81 school year. Betty Dusing was in charge of acquisitions and Peggy Newberry ran the circulation desk. As¬ sisting Newberry were ten students and four volunteers from the community; Connie Vulliamy, Mary Lou Tipton, Jeanette Robbins and Janet Pollock. Frances Fishburn, Librarian Emerita and College Historian, organized the college archives. She was assisted by Walter Campbell and Glenda Scott. Carnegie Library was built in sections beginning in 1904 with a grant from Andrew Carnegie, one of the few he gave to private libraries. Plans are now being made to build another wing be¬ tween the library and the Science Hall. The new section, which will be called the McAfee Learning Center, will expand the library ' s capacity to serve both the college and the community. LIBRARY 17

SEX from a biological view, Stay awake and you can learn They ' re one of those facts of life that ou just can ' t seem to avoid. No matter how hard you try to adjust and plan, ou just can ' t get out of them. At one time or another every Park College stu- jdent must suffer and sit through an en¬ tire semester of them. What we ' re talk¬ ing about are, of course lecture classes. If you take an ordinary day at Park and walk around campus to hear what our logical and philosophical professors are teaching you may run into lectures such as these. i We should get rid of the eagle as our national animal, ' ' the ever famous Political Science Professor, Jerzy Haupt¬ mann, tells his students, instead we should make cats the national animal. You know why? Have any of you seen an eagle?” The students think for a minute, look at one another and simultaniously say No” You see what I mean,” Hauptmann, says, but you see those damn cats ev¬ ery day.” Now let ' s leave Mackay for a minute and walk over to the Science Hall. In¬ side one of the classes the professor is discussing . . . well ... I don ' t know if you ' re old enough to read this . . . o.k. . . . I guess you ' re all college students and can handle this in a mature way . . . what that professor is discussing is SEX. How many of you know what SEX is?” the professor asks his students. They all laugh for a minute and then one of the students says, come on, we ' re all college students, we know what SEX is.” Oh do you really, the professor says, well let me tell you what SEX is from a biological point of view.” SEX,” he continues, is when the egg and the sperm meet, that ' s it, when the egg and the sperm meet you have SEX.” As the students walk out of class the look of disappointment and dispair on their faces said it all; their bubble about the fun and excitement of SEX had just been broken. After that disallusioning lecture in the Science Hall, let ' s leave and find out what ' s going on in Copley. O.K. how many of you know what Maslow ' s Hierarchy of Needs are? ' ' Communication Arts Professor, Kent Murray, asks the class. A look of bafflement comes over them. One student tells the person sit¬ ting next to him that three of those needs should be sleep, food and money. What did you say,” the professor askes the student who was talking.” Oh nothing sir, I was just thinking out loud.” Does anyone know any of these needs?, Murray asks again. Love, Belonging, Self-Actualization,” one student says. Go on, go on,” Murray tells them. Well sir, that ' s all I can think of at the moment,” the student answers. Anyone want to help? ' ' Murray says. A wave of silence fills the room. O.K., then I would suggest you all learn them by next class period since they probably will appear on the test. Fade to black. Class is dismissed.” LECTURE CLASSES 19
