This, dear readers, I now do. Thanks for being dear.
Thanks for being readers.

Finally, I wish to thank the tobacconists of America
who make it possible for us to buy our Philip Morris,
Cigarettes by the pack. If there were no tobacconists,
.we should have to buy cur Philip Morrises direct from
the factory in boxcar lots. This would present grave
storage problems to those of us who live in dormitories
and other substandard dwellings.

Library Rules
Are Unrealistic
The criticism this week of the Margaret I. King
Library by a distinguished faculty member brings
to mind a number of areas in which the Library is
ridicuinadequate, ineffective and just down-righ- t

First, as Dr. Clark has said, the library is too
small. Within the next few years, as the University
grows, it will become more and more inadequate
until soon there will be no room for students.
The building itself will have to be expanded to
make room for more students, more books, and
more copies of the books we have.
Next up is the question of the stacks being
opened. This would allow students not only to find
specific looks, but also to browse, and perhaps become interested in books they were not aware of.
Of course, at present, the building in which the
library is housed is so constructed as to make such
a policy impractical, but the next one would be

built differently.
With open stacks and a person at the door to
check out books, all students would have a much
wider and easier access to a large general'collection
of books a fact which might encourage more reading.

tops them all. We are referring to the rule that
says books cannot be taken from the reference room,
or the reserve reading room, even to another division
of the library.
Suppose you had to compare some information
that is found in a book in the reserve room with
something to be found in the reference room.
So long as it is only a paragraph or so that must
be compared, there is jio inconvenience to speak of.
