In addi tion, he has had many articles pub lished in both the “North Carolina EngUsh Teacher” and the “English Journal.” Looking to the Future L. C. Plans New Library Plans are being made for the coii- struction of a new library here at Louisburg College. March of 1964 is the dale set by the Board for the ground breaking ceremony, and it is to be opened in 1965. A pamphlet containing descriptive and informative data concerning the new building has been published and is being distributed to interested friends of the college. The building was designed by Harry J. Harles, an architect of Rocky Mount. The exterior design combines traditional and contem porary characteristics in that its colun'uii suggest those of Main Building and its colored glass and brick blend with those of the new dormitories. The library will be a two-story building with a partial basement. Its proposed location is what is now the day student’s parking lot in front of the A-C Building. It will be 130 feet in length, 60 feet wide, and 25 feet in height, containing approxi mately 17,000 square feet of floor space. The basement will contain an auditorium with a seating capacity for approximately a hundred. It will also contain facilities for lectures, films and slides, meetings, mechani cal equipment, and library storage. j The ground floor will contaiii the main reading room with reference and periodical sections, circulation desk, reserve section, work rooms, librarian’s offices, and staff room. The mezzanine floor will contain an upper reading and study area, as well as an audio room for records and tapes. The approximate cost of the new library is $275,000, including equip ment. About $75,000 will be avail able through the Louisburg College Development Fund. To secure the balance needed for the project, the Board of Trustees is calling on alumni, trustees, foundations, and corporations for their support.

The building, valued at $375,000, was financed by the Hous ing and Home Finance Agency and by funds received through the col lege development program. The dormitory, contemporary in design, contains two-room suites with connecting baths and built-in furniture, thus providing an appreci able economy in space. Floral dressings for the dormitory were donated and arranged by the Louisburg Garden Club. Adding to the general attractive ness of the campus, the dormitory is inwardly conducive to study and is pleasant in atmosphere. The Magnificent Seven Cecil W.
