 LIBRARIANS... Military service would not affect the rank of head librarian, Miss Floy Carroll, and as- sistant librarian. Miss Mary E. Williams, be- cause their book work would still be library work. Though their title might not be changed and their work not be greatly changed, personnel would change from students studying in col- legiate outfits to men studying in uniforms of service branches of our armed forces. Number of books under the classification of Miss Carroll and Miss Williams would prob- ably be less. In the library rooms located in the north end of the main floor of the admin- istration are approximately 37,038 volumes which are available either on the reserve sys- tem or weekly system. Students sign either long, manila reserve cards or short, white week cards at the central desk to gain use of these books. In the A. O. Thomas Training School is the Elementary library of almost 4,242 books. Just south ol the main library in the administration Left, above . . . FLOY CARROLL. A.B..

Mathematics, in any and all forms, became one of the by-lines on the campus this year as reserves continued scholastic studies. Math was one of their requireds and as a result math classes were filled to capacity. Men joined women in being specific and were fold to be alert, man, be alert. Students of mathematics turned from tradi- tional apples and oranges problems to guns, tanks, and ships manipulations. Army stu- dents figured mileage and time for trucks and tanks while navy reserves studied knots and ships. Students in the marine reserves joined fellow navy and army students in their prob- lems.
