Richter Library is located In the center of the campus and contains nine floors, more than one million books, half a million microfilms and hundreds of periodicals. There ' s also plenty of room to study. Our library is open 93 hours a week and in addition, there is a study hall open 12 extra hours a week for those who study into the early morning. The Meteorology and Physical Oceanography computer graphics display is a state-of-the- art system. It is used in research projects studying sea surface temperatures remotely sensed by satellites. This graphic system is unique in that it was designed in part by meteorologists and physical oceanographists at a lower cost than currently available systems without sacrificing any of the capabilities of the more expensive systems. Different temperatures are given different colors to facilitate the recognition of patterns and to highlight certain features being studied. The patterns are used as diagnostic aids and were designed to exerc ise a particular section of the graphics system. ■■jiff ' ' sBC :;?|fflRK -r

i ' berg, so was I sad in the Black Forest, pausing to wonder liow a nation of such great thinkers and doers in nearly every phase of human en- deavor could follow an Aust- rian paperhanger to their ruin and the world ' s detriment. One day we interupted our visit with old friends in Gengenbach, a storied little city that puts a visitor back into the Middle Ages, to drive over the Rhine to Strasbourg for a visit with other friends and a long, leisurely ride into the Vosges Mountains. Now I am nearly over Miami, completing a great three weeks and writing my recol- lections of them. I feel re- freshed and renewed by expe- riences in different cultures, ready to tackle the problems that inevitably await me, which sad to observe, do not improve with age like vintage wine.
