Kim Highland EdHor In Chiel Seniors ofTtcially started to count down the days before grad uation at 98th Ni^t on Sunday. Donning their green T-shirts, stu dents from the class of 1998 gathered in the Johnson Hall rotunda to celebrate their fast approaching commencement. The sophomores, their sister class, decorated the rotunda with banners and supplied two cakes. The festivities began with food and socializing. Then sm- dents sang along to karaoke with such selections as “Stand By Your Man,” “Ice, Ice Baby,” “Have Mercy.” and “I Will Survive.” In between songs, the 98th Night co-chairs Tennille Hurley and Ginny Thigpen gave out door prizes such as gift cer- n Modifications to include more room, materials, and services. Shannon SitrTH Siait Repon»r Many big changes are taking place very soon in the Carlyle Campbell Library. The renova tions that the library will undergo will affect students, faculty, and everyone else who uses the library as a research resource. The Carlyle Campbell Library was dedicated on February 27, 1969. Its designers originally planned it to contain 125,000 volumes, but over the years, this number has grown to 135,000 volumes plus 42,600 additional items such as microfilms, laser discs, videotapes, compact discs, and educational games. The years have brought changes and growth for services and sta^, as well, with an on-line library sys tem, a media services depart- tificates to the Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Blockbuster. “I am very impressed with the turn-out,” said Hurley. “I’m glad to see so much excitement with people looking forward to gradu ation.” “We were expecting 120 peo ple and we sold 170 T-shirts. TTie participation just blew us out of the water,” added Thigpen. “I am loving this,” said Regina Mack. “I can’t wait for our little sisters to get here.” After jamming to the karaoke music, seniors watched a slide show full of Meredith memories. “I’m having a great time watching everyone having fun. But it’s sad that this is one of the last times our class will all be together like this,” said Emily Edwards. When the slide show was over the seniors were serenaded and showered with balloons by their ment, and a library instruction program. Because of this dramat ic development of the library, renovations are needed. Hie renovations will update the greater portion of the library, excluding only the archives, video store, editing room, and campus cable station. The main floor will be redesigned to include media services. The pur pose of this is to have the major public services options (ref^- ence, m^ia services and circula tion), available to students as soon as they enter the library. Because all three of the^ ser vices are closely related, it is log ical to keep them together. Sources of information, whether it is print microfilm. CD-ROM. laser disc, or the Internet will be placed on the same floor, with the intent of students finding information more efficiently. Also, faculty will find closely related information placed little sister class. Then the seniors sang to the freshman in return. Hie night ended with a car raid around the Meredith mile by both the seniors and the sopho mores. “I was really excited ^out how well the night came togeth er,” Thigpen concluded. “We couldn’t have done it together, and avoid the frustra tion of moving from floor to floor. Another problem with the cur rent library is there are no estab lished places for group study. Students working together occa sionally di^b individual stu dents. The renovations include without our little sisters,” said Hurley. “They were so support ive.” “It was ftm to be together and to start the celebration for our final 98 days,” said senior class president Rebecca Huffstetler. But on a sad note, Hufl'st^er lost her Cornhuskin’ T-shirt at the party. “If anyone finds it. I’d like it bact” pleaded Huffstetler. group study rooms, located on the second floor.
