Schedule Set
For Library
After Survey
New weekend library hours
were announced yesterday by J.
F. Bentley, assistant to the Uni
versity Librarian.
Beginning immediately, the re
serve room and service desk will
be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on
Saturday while other facilities
will be closed. Sundays, the en
tire library will open at 1:30 p.m.,
the circulation and reference
desks will close at 5 o'clock, and
other facilities will close at 10
p.m.
The changes in the weekend
schedule are a result of a survey
conducted by the Library from
December to April. A check was
made of the relative use of the
various departments at different
times of the day. It was found
that the circulation and reading
desk were not used much during
weekends, while the use of the-re-serve
room was comparatively
heavy.
Bentlejr urged library-users to
observe the new hours. "Respect
the Honor Code" was also
urged.
Information concerning new
reading rooms will be made pub
lic, Bentley said, after completion
of the work on the addition.

Officers'
Set For 8
Inauguration of student gov-,
ernment officers for the 1951
52 academic , year will take
place tonight at ,8 o'clock in
the hall of the Dialectic Sen
ate, New West Building.
Officers to be inaugurated
include the president of . the
student body, vice president,
secretary-treasurer, speaker of
the Coed Senate, the Student
Legislature, and members of
the Student Council, Men's
Honor Council and Women's
Honor Council.
All those officers must at
tend the function.
President John Sanders will
preside at the meeting, and
Student Council Chairman
Larry Botto will administer
the oaths of office.
The meeting, which is open
period to determin who was lis
tening to what. They found out
much more than Chapel Hillians'
listening habits.
The results of the survey show
ed that most women don't pay
attention to what they are listen
ing. Many of them interviewed
in the survey had to call their
husbands to the phone to tell the
interviewer what was going on.
One woman evidently hated radio
programs. Her husband, she said,
was outside in his automobile lis
tening to his favorite program.
Many people, thinking the call
er was master of ceremonies on
a quiz program with prizes to give
away for the correct answers,
rushed to their, radios to snap
them on, trying at the same time
to keep the interviewer on the
line.
The survey did produce results,
though. It was found that there
is a man in Chapel Hill who lis
tens to Station WPIX (a New
York television station) on his
radio. He reported that he was
listening to a "morning sunrise
program" (at" 7:30 in the evening).
This would indicate that WPIX
has a Hopper ating of .0022.
Other results of the survey
showed that news programs are
most popular in Chapel Hill and
that Station WPTF in Raleigh is
the most listened to station. .
