Library Policy Causes Controversy Because of the loss of 1.000 books last year, a controversial new system was instituted in Learning Center I. Students were required to leave all books and study materials at the desk before entering the library. This caused questions over whether the library was still fulfilling its purpose as a study and reading center, or whether the new policy was prohibiting proper study. The issue was petitioned, brought before the student senate, and alternatives were discussed with Mr. Hanson, the director of the learning centers. Even though $5,000 of the $6,000 library budget was spent on book replacements, other expansions were made in both Learning centers. A new carpet installed in L.C. I was among them. 22 Librarians

In the same vein; truancies were no longer sent to the office but directly to each student's counselor. With more free health clinics appearing. Ms. Adelaide Kelley, school nurse, was swamped with questions about the usefulness of these services.
