Nine Floors House Library When the Hbrary moved from Flowers Hall to the new Library Administration Building, books were separated into various categories and filed on shelves on floors one through nine. The first two floors of the complex are used by administrative personnel. The expanded area now allows for more students to utilize card catalogs, research and study space with greater adequacy and ease. Study carrels, tiny rooms with desks and lockers, are available for confined study. Grad- uate students and faculty working on research projects head the priority list for these areas. These pictures show the area that affords students, facul- ty and administrators the opportunity for extensive research and study in their proper fields. Below are (left to right) Mrs. Winnie Homeyer, Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson and Mr. Louis Maloney at the Library Open House last fall. Maloney is head librarian. Mrs. Jackson ' s husband was head librarian from 1926 to 196.5.

X t s$?; Eatin ' Street Beat Grooves For Seventh Time Like an over-crowded town square on the Fourth of July, minus the fireworks, the street in front of Commons came to life Oct. 8. Swarming with an estimated 6,000 students, faculty members and children, the seventh bi-annual Eatin Street Beat began around 4:30 p.m. Like ants winding their way through intricate and unseen mazes, people filled their plates with heaping portions of the three tons of beef one-half ton of sausage, 120 gallons of potato salad, 700 pounds of beans, and 9,000 cokes. In keeping with the fall theme, Mr. Zodiac, the trees were adorned with posters and balloons proclaiming the ■°Age of Aquarius and Signs of the Times.

Fall Carnival Features South of the With the theme, Fiesta de Ontono, the annual fall car- nival initiated the fall semester ' s activities. Each or- ganization on campus was invited to set up an attraction, which benefits their activities for the year. Fraternities, sororities, special interest clubs, and professional or- ganizations all contributed booths which made Fiesta de Ontono a night to remember. The night began at the Student Center with all of the various games of skill and luck. The Phi Psi ' s held a ping- pong ball toss. Delta Zeta sponsored a Hit the Turtle booth, and several Pi Kappa Alpha pledges were a little apprehensive as the waited for the Pike ' s Hit the Pledge with a Pie booth. The spiriteers, along with the cheerleaders sponsored a very unique attraction— a mock marriage performed in Spanish, complete with a picture of bride and groom. Immediately following the fun of the boodis and the tests of skill and luck, the crowd moved inside the SUB for a dance. Highlighting the dance was the presentation of Peggy Gwin, Houston senior, as Senorita Tejas, and Phil Arnold, Jourdanton junior, as Senor Tejas.
