run the library, bu will meet once
a month with W. C. Warren, act
ing librarian, to discuss admin
istration problems. The decisions
will be taken back to the respec
tive groups who are expected to
set a “high tone of student con
duct in the library in general and
in the browsing room in particu
lar.” There will be no^ set of rules
or pleading, Kitchen said, mere
ly suggestions for the betterment
oSBjbrary conditions through co
o™-ation.
Till the present the browsing
room has been closed due to lack
of help for supervising the room
and misusing the room by stu
dents. Three main objections
made by the library officials in
connection with student conduct
in the browsing room were sleep
ing, use for study, and general
misuses'. Phi Theta Upsilon, jun
ior women's service honorary, and
Mortar Board, senior women's
honorary, have taken over and
are aiding the supervision of the
browsing room when the library
cannot provide an attendant. The
ISA will handle the cloak room,
thus eliminating the problem of
wrops scattered over the brows
ing room. The room was open for
the first time in the evening Mon
day night.
smoking will be allowed in
the browsing room because if it
were allowed the room would be
come the smoking room for the
whole library.
Student opinion will be used
for such problems as to when
students want the library open
during examination periods.
Phi Theta Upsilon, the inter
fraternity council, Mortar Board,
and the Independent Students as
sociation are the four University
organizations who have support
ed this program. Phi Theta Up
silo and Mortar Board will help
in supervising the browsing
room which is under the direction
of Miss Bernice Rise, circulation
librarian. The interfraternity
council has started a fund to pur
chase books for the loan library.
Fresh sea food is to
day’s meat substitute.
You will enjoy our

Prospective pledges were con
tacted last night and today and

Hudson stated that the reason
pledging has been moved up from
spring to winter term is that it is
desirable to take these men into
the chapter beforte they enter
service. While it is uncertain as
to whether these men will be on
the campus next term, it was felt

opportunity to join the honorary.
