Increased Use of Library
Credited to Enrollment Rise
By GENEAL COWAN
With the University back to pre-war enrollment, the library
has shown increased use and activity. The many library de
partments have served students well in providing material for
term papers, class assignments, and general reading.
Miss Bernice Rise, circulation librarian, reported that from
October to May there was an increase of 36,515 in the circula
tion of books as compared to 1944
45 school year. The greatest in
crease over last year was made in
January when over 15,000 books
were used by students and faculty.
This increase has called for added
enlargement of the staff, but, Miss
Rise reported, even so “there hasn’t
been sufficient help to meet the
situation.”
Circulation Lobby
The circulation lobby has been
used throughout the year for vari
ous exhibits from the art depart
ment, and special individual col
lections. Seven-day books are dis
played in connection with circula
tion, and magazines are featured
in a rack so students may use at
"—will.
> The browsing room has been of
assistance to students wishing ma
terial on the finer arts, classical
and modern fiction, poetry, drama,
etc. This year this room has been
taken care of by three full-time
staff members of the library since
no money is available for operat
ing the room. Campus service
honoraries have donated their
services in attending the room at
night. However, if even better stu
dent cooperation could be had, the
room would be kept open much
more, Miss Rise said.
Browsing Room
The browsing room houses three
collections—the Adelaide Church
memorial library, the House Li
brarians collection, and the Pauline
Potter Homer memorial.
The Adelaide Church collection
came from the Campbell Church
~"ramily, Ethel R. Sawyer library,
and friends. This memorial includes
some fine editions of the old class
ics purchased by funds donated by
Phi Theta Upsilon, Mortar Board
honorary, and the University li
brary staff.
Gift Funds
The House Librarians collection
consists of books of general nature
to be used primarily for distribu
tion in living quarters. These books
have been purchased through gift
funds from thq Inter-Fraternity
council, Pan-Hellenic, Heads of
Houses, and more recently from the
educational activities office, who
incorporated into their budget the
provision of $200 to be immediate
ly allotted to the group and $300
to be given next year for additional
purchases.
The Pauline Potter Homer me
morial is dedicated to a former
~~TfT#hiber of the cataloging staff of
the library who died suddenly in
1918. Mrs. Homer was formerly a
student at the University of Ore
gon, and did graduate work at
Simmons college. While on the
campus she was affiliated with
Gamma Phi Beta. This year three
books were added to this collection
—a de luxe edition of Bacon’s es
says, a Dove’s press edition of Shel
ley’s poems, and a miniature book
containing the speeches of the late
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The print collection in the brows
ing room includes almost a thou
sand Allinari prints gathered from
both Europe and the United States.
.
Miss Rise expressed the hope that
next year this collection would be
even finer.
Besides serving as a reading
room for students, the browsing
room also sponsors Mu Phi Epsilon
concerts weekly, and various lec
tures.
The Burgess Room, located just
off the reserve room, houses a col
lection representing a lifetime and
interests of Mr. Edward Sanford
Burgess, former head of the bio
logical science department at Hun
ter college, New York.
Rare Manuscripts
Some rare manuscripts are in
cluded in the Burgess collection.
Among them is a Latin manuscript
of the twelfth century compiled in
England and represents the Anglo
Norman calligraphy. Another in
teresting group of books which be
longed to Burgess is the Stuart
Series of seven small volumes
which are replicas of bindings made
lor the Royal Stuarts.
The reserve and reference de
partments both reported greater
usage this year. Miss Markley of
the reserve department reported
an increase of approximately 6,000
volumes a month in the open shelf
and reserve rooms. In the reference
department Mrs. Marion P. Watts,
refernce librarian, said that em
phasis this year in periodicals has
transferred to general world
events, and all problems following
the trend of education in demo
cratic principles.
The map room on the second
floor has not been open this year,
and maps have been handled
through the reference room, how
ever Mrs. Watts said that next
year it will be open part time. This
year it has been impossible to hire
an attendant.
The special collections room on
third floor has four collections.
They include the Oregon collection,
the University of Oregon collec
tion, Thesis collection and the
League of Nations publications.
Miss Pauline Walton, collections li
brarian, stated that many more
students have used available ma
terial this year, especially since
second term. Interest has been
principally on Oregon history. Dr.
Dan Clark, dean of the history de
partment, has conducted a seminar
who use the collection for histori
cal research. Sociology majors have
used the records for investigation
in public welfare in Oregon.
The newspaper room, bibleo
graphy department have also re
ported added student interest.

Dance Uses
1Black Light’
One of the most interesting
house dances on the campus last
weekend was the one given by the
Phi Psi’s on Saturday night.
The theme was “Baia” taken
from the Walt Disney picture “The
Three Caballeros.” The lower floor
and basement were papered entire
ly with black paper, with tropical
murals depicting dancing girls,
snakes, and flamingoes. One large
mural was a replica of the harbor
of Rio with the Sugar Loaf in the
background.
Chief feature of the decorations
was the fluorescent lighting. The
men were dressed in black trousers
and white shirts with fluorescent
sashes and ties. Girls were pre
sented with fluorescent corsages
tied with fluorescent ribbons.
In the entrance hall was a
replica of the train from the Disney
picture, with the letters, B-A-I-A
on the cars.
Faculty Member's Son
Struck By Automobile
Douglas Vincent, 8, son of An

by an automobile at an east-side
intersection.
The boy was riding a bicycle
when he was hit about 1 p.m., by
a car driven by Ean K. Dukes, 16,
of Route 1. Dukes was arrested
for driving without a license.
Young Vincent’s condition is re
ported as being “fairly good.”
