Is there a big
difference between
Chrysler? Well, yes and no.
Our Chrysler Newport i§ different from those comparably equipped popular
smaller cars. It's bigger. Roomier. And it has a big 383 cubic inch V-8
engine that runs on regular gas as standard equipment. It's a full-size
luxury car, inside and out.
But compare monthly car payments. You’ll find the only thing that
even resembles those smaller cars is our price.

Library Ground Breaking
Ceremony At Banner Elk
urounu breaking ceremonies
were held last week for the new
Modern library to be con
structed on the campus of Lees
McRae College at Banner Elk.
The building was designed by
Holland and Riviere Architects
of Shelby, North Carolina. The
general contract was awarded
to W. E. Dale of Morganton for
the low bid of approximately
$600,000. The facility is to be
constructed to hold approxi
mately 63,000 volumes with
space provided to expand the
capacity to 100,000 volumes.
Completion date is set for Aug
ust 1969 to be ready for use for
the fall term of 1969-70.
The college's need for the new
library facility is great. The
present Stirling Library was
finished in 1955 to accommodate
a student body of 280.
Richard Jackson, Head Lib
rarian, stated, “Our storage,
filing, and stack space is more
than inadequate. Most academic

libraries double in size every
13 to 16 years. In order to save
space and keep pace with aca
demic standards, we have pur
chased microfilm. We probably
rank first in microfilm holdings
in Junior Colleges in the state.
But this does not alleviate the
space problem. We rank second
in the state in holdings (number
r
of volumes). These holdings
must be housed and space must
be made available to students
to use these volumes.”
‘‘Our stack space is inade
quate. In the next twenty-five
years we will approach 100,000
volumes. We now are filled to
an overflow capacity with 25,
000 volumes.
