Students will also receive recruitment information, state and federal job requirements, test dates and graduate school scholarship- fellowship information.

Therefore, the central purpose for the workshop is to provide the opportunity to learn the Do's and Don'ts of producing SGA Investigates This year the Student Government Association made an investigation of all library procedures and functions. This jnvestigation was made- so that the Student Government might inform stu dents, suggest or propose changes and work together on certain activities.

Five are professional li brarians with masters degrees; five have B.S. degrees and four are without de grees. Money from the library comes from federal grants, gifts, and the state. The library committee, composed of some faculty members, determines how much money is spent. At least five percent goes for library materials. Half of the library materials budget goes toward the purchase of books for teaching depart ments. The other half is used to buy reference books and materials, replace lost books and subscribe to magazines and newspapers.

Labor Department of Statistics reports that four million dol lars was spent last year by Americans for clothes alone. All campus organizations are urged to attend the panel program. by Mary Hargraves Library Procedures extend library hours, however the young staff and poor usage by students make it unrealistic. Presently, the library is open 74 hours a week. She said that extending hours during mid-term and final exams would probably be more realistic. In response to the question, “Is it possible to have a larger or more de tailed Black Studies Section where peri odicals, book films, records and micro films are in the area?’’ Mrs. Bradshaw's response was that the collection of books in the cases upstairs was a gift to the library with stipulation that they be set aside from other library materials. Each year the library sponsors Black authors, poets or other notables. Last year the library co-sponsored Maya Angelou with the SGA. Library fines are turned in to the Business Office. All unpaid fines are then put on the student's bill. Mrs. Bradshaw would like to encourage students to use the library and become familiar with its facilities, and cooperate with library as far as decorum is con cerned. by Harriet Goodlet “The Man” . . .
