I f f J kl r it r r w Closes NO $3,800 To Committee "1TTTT H w or k on Final Vote Count Favors Amendment By 1604 to 495 Backed by an accurate tabulation of -rhe amendment voting, the legislature -fees committee yesterday waded into its job of drafting the new fee pro posal for presentation to the admrnis rratioru 3eniber3 of the committee first completed counting" the votes which xhe Student Council last week tabu lated only partly. Final results showed 1604 students for the measure and 495 against it. A doubtful 400 did not ven vote. Preliminary bulling on the pro posal, which would transfer the power of allocating student fees from the administration to the student legisla ture, revived several problems which the committee must face before it sub mits the final plan to the administra tion next week. The amendment passed by the stu dent body empowers the legislature -with "supervision" over all budgets, Taut just how far the assembly will attempt to exert its authority re mained a moot point after SO minutes of involved discussion. Another point not yet adequately provided for is the inclusion of the -whole student body in the payment of the student entertainment fee, a part of the blocked $13.85. Formerly only the approximately j2.000 students in the General College, College of Art3 and Sciences and School cf Commerce bought tickets. Xow, although Memorial hall will hold .only 1800 to 2000 students, all. 3500 members of the student body will have student entertainment tickets.

Renovating Library Lighting Plans Include New Paint Job, More Wattage Slashes taken by the 1941 State legislature in President Graham's pro posed University budget, intentionally or otherwise, left $3,800 intact for the 1 cm -needed improvements of lighting conditions in the library, it was re vealed yesterday by L. B. Rogerson, assistant controller of the University. Oversight or no, electricians and painters will begin work next fall to make things as satisfactory for 'read ing as it now is for dating. Plans fox the improvements are not complete, but "adequate lighting defi nitely will replace sub-standard read-; ing conditions" now existing, Rogerson said. ' ' " j Tentative plans for the second floor reading rooms provide for 28 new table lights similar to the ones now at the ends of the tables, 25-watt lamps to replace the 15-watters in all fix tures, and a new, brighter paint job that will reflect rather than absorb what light is generated. The reading tables in the center ro tunda will also be' blessed with table lights like the 28 to be installed in the reading rooms. Fluorescents Possible The reading rooms on the first floor, which at present are only slightly un der the reading standard, will be brought to standard by lamps of in creased wattage in all fixtures. The possibility of installing fluores cent lighting is being studied, but this will probably depend on whether the saving in current costs will make up for the extra purchase price in time for the two-year budget to be balanc ed. This settlement of part of the li brary's long, drawn-out fight for bet ter library facilities . still leaves the space problem to worry University business officials.
