It is used by students from Trinity and St. Mary's Universities, from the high schools, and even the junior high schools, all of whom have come to recognize this library as a community institution. Complete to the last detail, the book collection is supplemented by the latest magazines and news- papers. A large collection of phonograph records includes recordings of music, poetry, drama, shorthand dictation, foreign languages, and historical events. Other than periodicals, standard ref- erence books, and rare and valuable materials, all books can be checked- out by the student. Identical service is offered to Evening and Day Division students. Each is provided withian ac- tivity or library card which entitles him to borrow any circulating book. A librarian is available for individual assistance with problems of locating materials or interpreting information found. Clyde L.

Manager of Cafeteria Asst. in Bookstore The Loftin Student Center was designed with the extra-curricular life of the college in mind. Another room was recently added to the first floor lounge, where students may come in and en- joy a cup of coffee and a chat with their friends. Other than the cafeteria, the first floor houses the bookstore, student and faculty lounges, and the constantly-used Shangri-La Ballroom. From Sep- tember until May, the ballroom is in demand for dances, teas, club meetings, and various other social functions. Located on the second floor are the game room, the E1 Alamo and San Jacinto rooms used for club meetings, and the office of SAC's two publications, the newspaper, aptly called The Ranger, and the yearbook, E1 Alamo. ..
