Miss Jess Byrd
Publishes Work
Miss Jess Byrd has just completed
her A Style Sheet For Term Papers
which is available at the Book
Store this week. Designed to be a
uniform guide for all undergraduates
at Salem, this booklet clearly and
simply states the general directions
for a term paper, forms for 4toot-
notes, and forms for bibliographies.
Samples of each form described ar©
also presented.
Miss Byrd has been working on
“her book” off and on for the
past several months. Her material
is based on past experience in teach
ing here at Salem. It is her hope
that this Style Sheet will save term
paper-writers from the confusion
over minor details that often arises
in the construction of a term paper.
