Single Source
This would provide e a c h
student with a single, source
of information necessary and
helpful to his University life,"
Miss Morrison said.
The council publications
committee recommended two
alternate plans for editing the
handbook
The first plan would set up
a new body outside ot any
existing activity organization
whose editor and co-editor
would be selected through in
terviews conducted by the
Publications Board.
The editor and co-editor
would then select through in
terviews the staff who would
assume the major responsi
bility for publishing the hand

"This group," said Miss
Moffitt, "would work closely
with the Division of Student
Affairs and the Administra-
Board reunion luncheon at 12

Dean of Women Helen A.
Snyder, who is Director of
Section 13 of National Mortar
Board, will address the
group, and Gladys Rolfsmey

A second plan would leave
the editorship of the h a n d
book with the professional ad

who currently draws up the
"General Information" publi

A student committee of five

Regarding the finance of the

that at present the University

said, "we would need an ad

Library
May Guard
'Stacks9
The possibility of restrict
ing the use of the 'carrells or
"stacks" to all unauthorized
students was explained to the
Student Council Wednesday
by Dr. Henry Baumgarten,
member of the Library Com
mittee of the Faculty Senate.
"A guard might be posted
at the entrance to the
"stacks", Baumgarten said,
"to stop students who have not
received a carrell assignment
or who are trying to locate a
book themselves instead of
getting it through the desk
messenger."
The opinion of Dr. Baum
garten was expressed during
a Council discussion on the
crowded library conditions re
sulting from use of library
space as "study hall."
George Peterson, Student
Council library committee
chairman, said that Dr. Frank
Lunday, library director had
told him that the use of va
cant rooms in Burnett and
Andrews Halls for study in
the afternoon and evening was
being considered.
Council second Vice-president
Jim Samples pointed out
the need for more adequate
heating and lighting plus ta
bles or large desks if the An
drews' or Burnett space was
to be utilized.
Samples also believed that
ref erence or study centers es
tablished in living areas would
be no more effective . than
present facilities unless con
ditions conducive to study
could be maintained.
"It's np to the dorm coun
selor, scholarship chairman
and tbe student himself," Sam
ples said, "to maintain quiet."
The possibility of establish
ing references or study cen
ters in each living unit had
been suggested by Peterson
as a way of reducing library
overcrowding last week,
to attend an informal reunion
of the fraternity alter the
game.
