It is here that students come to
wonder in awe. and study for Econ

radiate as they sit in their desks:
“YOU HAVE FIFTEEN MINUTES
TO CHECK OUT BOOKS..
At the library ducts, as students
pass through turnstiles, cilia-like
hirelings filter out nourishment
and charge 25 cent fines. The
second entrance to the library of
fers a marble staircase, which in
turn leads to the “old" second and
third floors. These old floors were
slowty conceded to the special col
lections division, as floors were
added to the library in other areas.
These floors comprise the attic
of the University. Here lie boxes of
old manuscripts, papers, architec
tural drawings, paperback west
erns, photographs, ana the book
collections of old ladies. Martin
Schmitt has minded the attic since
1949. “We’ve got all kinds of
things," he says, creaking in an
old swivel chair. A dock, the first
item to be bought by the Univer
sity, ticks thickly in the back
ground. "We have about 12 or 13
collections, over a million manus
cripts, letters from missionaries,
tie documents of the John Birch
conservative movements, and a
collection of comic books.”
In addition, the attic holds some
original manuscripts of Winston
Churchill, induding his attempt to
rewrite the classics. “He con
densed War and Peace’ into four
pages," says Schmitt, "really
quite a good essay.” Ken Kesey's

Anyone may look at the collec
tions, according to Schmitt, but
usually graduate students are the
only ones who find their way to the
old floors. The Oregon collection
on the second floor, offering
books on, about and by Orego
nians, is more often found by
freshmen.
Schmitt has decorated his office
with the residue from the collec
tions. “Roosevelt saved this
house, we are for him,” reads one
original campaign poster. “Men
wanted for the army,” says
another. “America is for whites,”
cries a tabloid.
In the next room, amid stacks of
books and papers, Bill Lisyk sorts
through the collection donated by
the League of Women Voters. “It’s
like working in a museum," Lisyk
observed.
On the way out, the library proc
laims “The mission of a univer
sity” — to anyone who is willing to
stop and read a wail.
“A university means conserva
tion and betterment. Not merely of
our natural resources, but of our
heritage."

WORDS AND WOMEN is about our unconsciously sexist English language, about how those
old sexist habits continually relegate women to a sub-species role. With a critical and
feminist eye. Casey Miller and Kate Swift examine the guidelines of our language and shew
how they represent symptoms of our changing values, and how further changes might be
effected — in a witty, often hilarious and ironic way This work is bound to be controversial
because it offers insights into the meaning that lies behind the words we use, our patriarchal
society and our values that just won't go away quickly.
