1 Page four MEREDITH LIBRARIAN REQUESTS CO-OPERATION FROM STUDENTS In a recent conference with stu dent leaders on the campus, Miss Hazel Baity, Meredith librarian, ex pressed concern over the growing number of books and magazines being lost and abused. Over the past several years the' student body has become increasingly lax about ob serving library regulations concern ing the borrowing of books and the using of materials in the library. Due to the open stacks policy, many books are being mis-shelved by students who remove them from the stacks for examination. Also, books are being taken from the li brary which have not been signed for in any way. These careless acts are causing the library staff much inconvenience and are creating ad ditional expense for the library’s budget. Open Stacks Are Valuable It is the feeling of the library staff that Meredith students are fail ing to recognize the dishonesty of removing materials illegally from the library and the meaning of open stacks. It is a tremendous advantage to students to be able to go into the stacks to examine and choose books themselves. There -is a definite possibility, however, that if there is not an im provement in the treatment of the library facilities, the stacks may be closed. I'he only reason that the reserve shelves are closed now is that too many books were disap pearing when the shelves were open. Expenditures For R^lacements Are Astounding The situation is similar with magazines. Each year the library is forced to spend around $700 re placing magazines which the library has already purchased, but which the students have lost or defaced. Often it is impossible for the staff to secure back issues of magazines; and when they can do so, they have to pay a large price for issues which are by that time considered collec tors’ items. To alleviate the problems which are facing the library staff. Miss Baity has made the following sug gestions to students. If these sug gestions are followed, the staff will be able to serve the student body better, and the students will be able to secure more easily the informa tion they need in the library. GIVES DEBVT W§mi I?" . Miss Jeanne. rireaVfifti k Sophomore Class Wins 1960 Stunt Meredith’s annual Stunt Night was held on Fridayv. November 18, at 8:00 in Jones Auditorium. The audience was welcomed by Kath leen Simmons, president of the Ath letic Association, which is the spon sor of this yearly function.

The senior stunt was entitled “Where Are You Going Out In The Rain?” The class president is Bette Liles, and stunt chairman was Mary Carol Warwick. During the judges’ deliberations, after each stunt was presented, the Meredith College Ensemble, under the direction of Miss Beatrice Don ley, entertained. Following this en tertainment, the judges announced the winners; the Sophomore Class won 1st place and the Junior Class won 2nd. AA Sponsors Dinner Before the stunt presentations in the Aliditoriurn, the A.A. sponsored a dinner in th^ school dining room which wais' in honor ’of the 'past presidents of the'Athletic Associa tion.

M. lyiassey of Zebulon, and Mrs; Harriet Pressley of Ra leigh. Following the dinner, a cof fee hour Was held in the Blue Par lor of Johnson Hall.' Miss Baity Makes Suggestions 1. Consult the directory over the card catalogue to determine where books are shelved. 2. Consult the list of bound pe riodicals on the table which houses the periodical indexes to determine which magazines are bound in the reading room and which magazines one of the staff members will have to secure. 3. Consult the front of the pe riodical indexes to determine which magazines are in the library. 4. Consult the International In dex, as well as the Readers’ Guide, to locate source materials. 5. Form lines at the reserve desk when waiting to be served. 6. Give the author’s name when ^ book on the reserve shelf. ,7. Exercise care in returning ref erence books, encyclopedias, and niagazines to their proper places.
