Among Ransom's students are
cucn great names as Robert
Loew, Randell Jarell, Robert Penn
Warren and Donald Davidson, who
is author of the text being used
by English 3 classes on this
campus. ,
He will deliver two lectures
Wednesday and Frk-ay, at 8 p.m.
in Love Library Auditorium un
der the general subject, "The Eng
lish Meters as a Form of Poetry'
The topics are: Wednesday "The
Two Rival Families of Meter:
Folk verse and Sophisticated
Verse.", and Friday "The Mar
riage of the Families."
Ransom feels that reading of
poetry out loud lias fallen by the
wayside and that people are not
getting out of it what they should.
There has been a great decline
of people's interest of poetry be
cause of music and paintings, be
believes.
"The new form of literature
will be more popular at the be
ginning because it will involve no
highbrows. It will be quick, spon
taneous, 'and will reflect a new
light in a superficial way. It will
register as the coming age in the
culture of the gadgets." He feels
that this form has been altered
by Warren.

Committee Tours State To Gather'
Ideas for Proposed Library Building
By DON HERMAN
Ag Editor
The past summer, a committee
of Mr. Wayne Collings, Ag. Cold
lege Librarian; Mr. George Pe
tersen, Assistant inn Agricultural
Engineering and Mr. Arthur Ward,
Associate Professor of Vocational
Educationn toured several mod
ern library plants in the area to
gather fresh ideas for the Univer
sity's proposed Ag Library build
ing. The following is a report from
the committee after making their
visits:
"During the eighty years since
its founding, the College of Ag
riculture has accumulated through
gift and purchase a rather re
markable library of over 100,000
volumes. Its resources in animal
and plant pathology are outstand
ing, and its collection in entomol
ogy is considered unique among
agricultural libraries. This library
of printed materials on agricul
tural subjects serves the faculty
and students of the College and
the people of the State through di
rect contacts and n cooperaton
stations. Three years ago through
an agreement with the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture the Li
brary added to it? clientele 2,000

Original Play Set
for Howell Friday
"The Garden of Asclepius," an
original play by a member of the
University English department,
will have its premeir performance
at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday
night at Howell Memorial Theater.
The play, based on a Greek
legend, was written by Oscar Man
del, assistant professor of English.
The role of Ascolepius will be
played by Steve Schultz, sopho
more in Arts and Sciences.
Other leading roles will be taken
by Bill Wagner, Joe Hill.Jan Far
rell and Charles Alcorn.
The play involves the love of a
step mother for her husband's son,
according to Mandel. When the
husband leaves for war the step-

As agricultural research j;oes
forward the demands on the Li
brary increase. For the past sev
eral years it has become more and
more apparent thai the Library
has outgrown its prestnt physical
quarters in Ag Hall. It has been
necessary to scatter the hollec
tions in a half dozen buildings
on the Ag Campus, and more re
cently many of the back-files of
periodicals, about 10,000 volumes,
have been moved to Love Memor
ial Library."
"The present quarters provide
very limited space for student
study, and faculty and graduate
research in the library must be
conducted in an inadequate third
floor room. .Probably no other
thing would do so much to im
prove teaching and research in
ur College as a new library in
which the various scattered col
lections could be brought togeth
er. This fact is so well understood
that it has been definitely decided
that a new library should be the
next building to be constructed on
the Ag Campus, especially with
the construction of the new dorms
on Ag with about three hundred
students requiring study room."
"The building itself is evisioned
mother wanted to have an affair
with the boy. The son rejected his
step mother. When theh usband re
turned the wife killed herself, say
ing that the boy had tried to rape
her. The father in turn killed the
boy.
"Some legends say that Ascle
pius brought the boy back to life
and Zeus killed him for taking the
power of life and death into his
own hands.
"This play was written from the
viewpoint of Asclepius," the au
thor said.
Mandel said that hec hose the
mythological story because "my
thology is such a great treasure
of dramatic tales." The play has a
moral, its author said, but it is up
to each viewer to find out what
it is.
Supporting roles will be taken by
Bill Baker, John Lamphere, Del
mas Lamberson, Noel Schoenrock,
Rod Holmes, Milton Grimes,
Dianan Peters and Skip Weather
ford. Max Whittaker, assistant pro
fessor of speech and dramatic art,
is the director. Bernard Skalka is
production manager and Diana
Peters is his assistant.

as a modern, functional unit en-
tirely free of architectural osten
tation. Modern planning calls for
the use of modular construction
with as few interior walls as pos
sible. This means that the build-
in? will actually be a kind of shell
into which the Library will be
placed. Book shelves will be free
standine so that they can be moved
about as needs develop.
There will be no reading room
as such, but rather entire floors
have been integrated with the
books. This will provide quiet
study areas for small groups of
students immediately adjacent the
books they will be using. In this
very simple arrangement ot dook
shelves and tables librarians are
able to overcome the many prob
lems created by the old fashioned
reading rooms."
"Present plans for the building
call for a three story structure,
the first or basement floor being
nartiallv underground and
assigned as a storage area for
the less used materials and for
future ffrowth. The second or main
floor is claimed as an undergrad
uate area containing most of the
materials to be used by students
in their course work and term pa-
per writing. Here also will be lo-
cated the basic reference and bib
liographical works, the card cata
log, and the library work area.
"The third floor is to be a fac
ulty and graduate research area.
It will house the leading agricul
tural research journals, complete
sets of the experiment station bul
letins and all of the U.S.D.A., Pub
lications. The entire third floor
will be divided into individual
study areas where the faculty
member will have room to "spread
out" and pursue his studies undis
turbed and in relative quiet."
According to Mr. Collings. "the
building committee is meeting reg
ularly to get plans organized. It
now remains for the Legislature
to allocate funds for the construc
tion of the much needed library."
Hopes are high that this will be
the next maior Droject undertaken
on Ag Campus. If the students
and faculty will make their de
sires known, the reality of a mod
ern library on our campus1 may
be realized in the very near fu
ture. tab HUNTER
