Dead bodies accumulate in
By Carolyn Mountjoy
School of Journalism
There's a new book at the
Undergraduate Library. It has
no title and can't be checked
out. It contains letters
submitted to the library's
suggestion Ixix located on
second flooi of Nebraska Hall.
During the winter interim,
Ormond Someiville, assistant
reference libianan, installed
the suggestion box so students
could submit suggestions,
questions 01 complains about
the libraiy.
Ms. Baibaia Chandler,
Undeigt aduate hbraiian, said
that the suggestion box has
been successful. "We get about
eight to ten letters a day," she
said.
Ms. Chandler said that
Someiville is responsible for
the idea of the box and
answers most of the letters.
Next to box
The book which is located
next to the suggestion box
contains the letters and their
answers.
One letter read, "There are
four million big, red signs
'All
just
you
reading exit on the 3rd floor
and no way for a poor, lost
student to yet out. Do you find
many dead bodies among the
endless shelves of books up
there?"
Somer ville replied,
those big, red signs are
emergency exits which
discovered when you got there!
I don't know what we can do
to clarify this except to say
Emergency Exit, but that
would cost so much money to
add emergency in led neon!
Nevertheless, I'll bring it to the
a t t e n t i o n of t he sign
committee.
Dead bodies
"As for the dead bodies, I
still hope we can affotd a
student for tlx; third floor to
show people aiound, drag them
off, etc. More service is needed
there."
There is now a staff member
located on third floor from 1
to 6 p.m. and from 6 to 10
p.m. "This person will assist
the students in every way
possible," Ms. Chandler said.
"For example, all the books
catalogued under the Dewey

Decimal System which used to
be in Love Library are now
located here," Chandler said.
"We have microfilm of the card
catalogue of the Dewey books
and the staff member on third
floor will help the student use
the microfilm and locate the
book he needs."
Love and happiness
Some of the letters have
nothing to do with finding a
book. "How about a better
attitude of love and happiness
projected by the librarians?
Not one of these chicks asked
me out!1"
The reply: "Identify
yourself and ask them out.
They might want to go. (Not
the married ones)."
Some of the letters, not
funny in themselves, did
produce witty replies.
One suggestion in this
category said that people who
work in the library should wear
name tags. Sornerville's reply
was "This does not appeal to
most members of the staff. It
does appeal to me, however, so
we'll continue to discuss the
idea. I have a name like
Rumplestiltskin, though, and
might choose an abbreviation.
One letter came from the
girls working at the circulation
desk.
"Dear Patron,
We do our best each day to
be friendly, courteous and have
smiles upon our beautiful faces
at all times. However, we are
not goddesses, we are only
mortals put upon the earth to
