Guy Lambert, associate
librarian at Elon since 1963,
has been named head libra
rian and director of the
Learning Resources Center.
Lambert will direct a staff
of six professional librarians
and 10 clerical and para-
professional workers in the
150,000 volume library.
The announcement came
Monday to the library staff
by Dr. James Moncure, vice
president for academic af
fairs. Selection of Lambert
was made by a special
library committee made up
of members of the faculty,
administration, and library
staff.
‘‘As far as administration
is concerned, I plan to
continue the policies of the
last two years,” Lambert
said. “I would like to in
volve the library more in the
teaching-learning process—
to have the library more
connected with curriculum
and the curriculum with the
library.”
Lambert says that quality,
not quanity, should be in
creased. Numbers of items
are not so important as what
the items are, he says. “We
must also be concerned
about the needs of the
college community.”
“I would like to see more
students express interest in
the work of the library
committee,” Lambert says,
“they also may recommend
books for purchase.”
For the Learning Re
sources Center, Lambert sees
further development of pre
sent programs. The acade
mic computer has been made
available to students, and
terminals will be provided in
the library for their use.
Lambert, 44, served as
associate librarian at Camp
bell College, Buies Creek,
N.C. for two years before he
came to Elon. From 1956-
1961 he worked at May
Memorial Library, Burling
ton.

completed course work for a
doctorate in curriculum and

of North Carolina at
Greensboro. He received a
Master of Education in 1973
from UNC-G. He obtained
his library training at UNC-
Chapel Hill and his B.A.
from Elon College in 1959
with a major in philosophy.
Senate approves safety bill
By Vivian Miller
Expressing their concern
for student safety, the Stu
dent Government Associa
tion Senate passed a bill
Oct. 2, “A Resolution to
Make Students Aware of
Increased Criminal Activity.”
The bill, written by Norman
Whittington, proposes to
help protect students who
live off campus and have
become targets of criminal
activity in recent weeks.
The bill states, “their pro
tection relies upon the town
of Elon College.” Through
campus security, it allows
the college to make students
aware of the situation and to
instruct them in preventive
measures.
It also allows Elon to
join the town in security
programs which include stu
dents. A new idea, included
in the bill proposes that
“Elon College should form
an escort service for female
students. Senator Janice Nel
son introduced the bill and
Sharon Olsen seconded it.
SGA appointments were:
Communications Media
Board, Anne Saleeby, Tra
cey Taylor and Jeff Batts;
public affairs representative,
Wendy Ford; deputy defense
attorney. Tucker Edmonds;

percent of retail through
