Slater, Dean of Women, who can be seen constant- ly taking time out of her busy sched- ule to counsel with girls concerning various problems or to have a friendly chat. Appointed to her po- sition in July, 1961, the new Dean has done much for the growth of the women students with her policy of letting the girls themselves initi- ate the oction and then following through with them to its completion. With an ever-ready smile. Dr. Slater performs her many duties which in- clude advising the AWS Cabinet and Council, Cap and Gown, all women service groups, Intersociety, and Interdorm Councils.

PROBLEMS OF more adequate Library space is soon to be provided with the construction of the Bonnie Bell Wardman Library, scheduled for late 1962. Hopes of Today-Reality of Tomorrow Libraries never grow too big, they just move to nev homes. This is the situation on the Whittier Campus as the new Bonnie Bell Wardman Library is commencing construction. Space for over 200,000 books, study rooms, and three levels of book stacks are features of this new building donated to the college by the late Aubrey Wardman and named for his wife. Costing over 700,000 dollars, the new library will replace the present up- stairs area of Mendenhall which is now used as the present facil- ity. Architects Allison and Rible and world famous consulting architect Pier Luigi Nervi have designed the building to be sup- ported by open piers whose north and south sides are protected by an aluminum grill screen. Dr. Ben Whiten, head librarian at Whittier for twenty-two years, has kept the present library ade- quately stocked with both American and foreign literature. Assistant librarian, Margaret Tan is in charge of keeping the 40,000 volumes of books and periodicals properly bound while Velma Powers guards the reserve room. IF IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE the student can readily receive help from either Miss Tan or Mrs. Pov ers. 17
