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

The Interdorm Council is composed of the Presidents and vice presidents of each women ' s dormitory at the college. They work as the govern- ing and advisory body for the women students and are respons- ible for reviewing problems, voicing decisions in disputed cases concern- ing the point system, and can set the special hours for dances and certain events. Under the direction of President Judy Himes, the council is advised by Dr. Nellie Slate, Dean of Women. Taking their ideas and reports back to the girls, the council members work directly with the dorm mothers to insure the best pos- sible atmosphere and home life on campus.
