To the Editor: Not long ago, Love Memorial library, replete with modern light ing, air conditioning, shiny rest room fixtures, and no small num ber of excellent books, was offi cially dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. Easy access to books, courteous and helpful librarians, ard a polite gestapo on the sec-ofiM-floor landing are only z few of its good features. As you know, many courses in the several colleges of the univer sity require extra-textbook read ing. The books for this purpose are held in reserve, to be checked out only for two-hour periods for study in the library, or, during the cii!?i- hour of the library's day, to be checked out for home study until 9:00 a. m. on the next week day. Due to the greatly dispropor tionate number of students to books, a more satisfactory proced ure would be hard to devise. This situation, however, works considerable hardship on students who live a great distance from the campus; especially during this winter season when frigid and icy conditions render traveling to and from the campus somewhat more ; than uncomfortable and precan ous. The married student, who lives in Huskcrville, or the single student who takes his meals with ' Aunt Piety in Havelock and I, incidentally, am neither of these j finds it very inconvenient, if not ' impractical or even impossible, to finish a lab at 5 o'clock, wait for a bus (which usually doesn't stop because of a full load), ride home. dine, perform the little woman's ' chores, wait for the bus again, ! and get back to the library to use s reserve books with enough time i left to make the trip worth-while a Why not issue a certain number say, one-third of reserve books, for overnight use, beginning at 5 p. m. each evening? The remain ing two-thirds would remain on the shelves to be issued in the regular manner. My supposition is that even a conscientious student is often discouraged from making the extra round trip to use them. i Whether the plan as a whole is i feasible is a matter for the judg ment of the library officials, but I believe that the interests of a con siderable number of students merit i it worthy of consideration. ; Ernie Fruhbauer (Bizad.) Very truly yours, Editor, The Daily Nebraskan: Inasmuch as preliminary plans had been made and announced re- ' garding an All-Campus Foniro-nn j Russia, we with to take this op- ; portur.ity to exjlain the reason for the forum's being postponed until February. Since there is a great deal of cuLlic reaction and teni-ion re- ' garding Russia and Communism, j we wish to be sure that enough j preparation was made by students and faculty for our forum. In con nection with this, we referred our plans to Chancellor Gustavson in Mexico. He was very interested in our proposals. He expressed his interest in being sponsor of such a project, and wished that he could be on the campus for such an important event. In light of the Chancellor's re cent return from Mexico and committments from now through January, we have postponed our forum until February.
