Student Use of Library
Rises Over ’41 Figures
Figures recently released by
Willis Warren, acting librarian,
show a slight increase in student
use of the University library for
the past month of September a3
compared with its use in Septem
ber, 1941.
The circulation department fig
ures show chat 4583 books were
supplied students last month,
while only 4197 were used a year
ago.
Students have used 652 books
from the reference departments
this year, 72 more than were used
from this department during
September of last year.
Requests for 2250 books was
reached this year by the reserve
division, showing a slight ill
increase over the total 2228 of
September, 1941. The reference
department also answered 226
questions for students, only three
more than were recorded for tho
corresponding time last year.
However, Mr. Warren expects a
noticeable decrease in use of the
reserve section in the near fu
ture, due to the fact that more
students are buying books of
their own.

Do Your Bit
"IOOUND UP your scrap metal—it’s
needed to make steel. Steel for armor
plate to protect him from bombs and
bullets. Steel for weapons to help him do
the job that must be done before be can
come borne again.
You don’t want production figures. It’s
enough to know that 50% of all new
steel is made of scrap — that our steel
mills now' nave only enough scrap in
sight to last another 30 days at tJie most?
What happens after that depends on all
of us. If production falls and you’ve not
done your part, will you rest easy? .
Next week the newspapers of Oregon are
getting behind a collection drive—to build
the biggest stockpile of scrap metal you’ve
ever seen. Then when the mills need it,
we'll have it—because you came through
... for his sale!
