T 11 h DAILY N K B R A 3 K A N How The Library Operates Students of today would hardly recognize the library of the eurl days of the University. The libiar frst occupied a room on the .secom fool of University Hall and later ivaf moved to the first floor of the north wing where it remained until the present library was built. There U quite a contrast between the firs library of 2,000 books and the JGu.OO volumes now owned by the tiniver sity. Everyone in school has a general knowledge of the main study room the npucarance of the library ani .16 methods for taking out books ,ut perhaps thcere are some fact.' .".bout tho library system that might prove interesting. Did you know' tha iin il.iilv ntlendanco of the ibrary averages between 2,000 and 2,&Cu while there are only 275 chairs te accommodate the students? At each class hour some are obliged to study elsewhere because of the crowded condition of the room. The library needs larger seating facilities. A study room was recently opened oi the third floor, of University Mali for the use of those studying mod ern and ancient languages, l-'rench, Snanish and German lexicons are placed there to aid students In pic paring lessons. This new room may help in reducing the over crowded conditions. It was the reporter's privilege to open the bi gvault door behind tho reserve desk and visit the stock room. This is a long room lined with metal racks filled with books. The largei-t part of the collection of books found here. Books on almost Jany subject are on the racks. The re porter was surprised to find the large number of volumes of fiction by the better authors. There is also an espe travel In Africa and Asia. At the north end of the stack room there is another heavy vaulr door, and upon entering it one sees a rather small room with racks piiou high with magazines neatly arrange J in alphabetical order. The library sub scribes for about 900 magazines. The old numbers are sent to a bindery to be bound into volumes that are very useful In reference and research work. Passing out of t' binding room to the right o t nother roon. where ' '.-.spared for dip r..-.-.

In bibligraphical and reference study One of the newer additions to th? library Is the faculty reading room, situated In the southwest part of thf basement. This room is intended for those members of the faculty whn are devoting much time to investlga tion and reference work.

And you had a raving good timo battin' aroum' until he dashed out and chased yo' all over the town to get it from you. But now you are o. ud gioa up and can't do things like that. You lo get out and throw a ball In th. corner lot when you feel that you have to. but that is about all. The girls can't skip rope or roll hoops either. They used to play jacks every 'ay after school and now they Just walk around and wish they were small again. Youth extreme youth Is what every one of you' feel callevl o in the spring.
