rooms of the old style library.
Four Categories.
Books will be divided into the
four main categories of the hu
manities, science and technology,
the social studies and education.
Books of all types in these cate
gories will be on open shelves in

Dean Thompson Reminds
Students of Liquor Policy
A letter from T. J. Thompson,
Dean of Student Affairs, has
been sent to all student organ
izations, reminding them of the
university's policy concerning
the use . of alcoholic liquors and
drinking and driving.
The university's attitude is
stated in the following sentences:
The serving of alcoholic li
quors of any strength by stu
dent organizations either in or
ganized houses or at public af
fairs cannot be regarded as ac
ceptable or good educational
practice; Intoxication, intolerable
and reprehensible as it is in civil
life, is much more intolerable
Speech
- Chancellor
ccntration camp in May 1945, Dr.
Schuschnigg had been held in soli
tary confinement at various camps
since the occupation of Austria in
March 1938. Subsequently he tes
tified at the Nuremburg trials.
He served as chancellor of his
country during the tense four
years preceeding the outbreak of
World War II. He was appointed
as chief of state following the as
sassination of Chancellor Dollfuss
and served until forced to resign
by German pressures on the Aus
trian government, leading to its
occupation.
Dr. Schuschnigg will discuss the
problems of international politics
arising in the area of his home
land. Austria, one of the oldest
countries of central Europe, has
been a focal point in two world
wars.
Dr. Schuschnigg was prominent
in the Austrian state for a decade
before becoming its head. He was
re-elected continuously to the
Vienna parliamct after first as
suming his seat in 1927.
He has written several books
about the history and politics of
his country and has lectured ex
tensively in Europe.
In his book in 1938, "My Aus
tria," Dr. Schuschnigg, speaking of
the disorders and destructive de
cades Austria went through before
World War I, said, Despite all,
wounded to death vet still alive, it
survived even that."
To date, Dr. Arndt explained,
Schuschnigg is the second convo
cation scheduled. Governor Ernest
Gruening of Alaska will speak Oc
tober 24.

accept the resignation of Mrs.

and reprehensible when in
dulged in by a representative of
a university community."
The university's policy con
cerning drinking and driving
states: "As a public institution it
is believed the university should
exercise any moral suasion pos
sible to decrease and prevent the
great number of accidents, many
of them fatal, that are occurring
on city streets and public high
ways. It should be understood
therefore that it is the policy of
the university to dL liss stu
