Successful spring test run
means more library hours
Extended library hours will let
students study around the clock
again at the end of this fall term
By A. Sho Ikeda
Reporter
Tyler Graf needed to find refuge. It
was Saturday of Dead Week and
with his Information Gathering
project due in less than 48 hours,
the junior journalism major needed
to avoid distractions.
Like many students at the Univer
sity, Graf headed to the Knight Li
brary where the doors were open 24
hours. During spring term's Dead
and Finals weeks, the Knight Library
experimented with the extended op
erating hours.
"The late hours helped me im
mensely," Graf said. "The library was
a much better studying environment
than my apartment."
Graf was among the thousands of
students who took advantage of the li
brary's extended hours. More than
7,000 students used the library be
tween 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. from June 2
to June 14. An average of780 students
used the library during the early
morning hours each day, and most
students took advantage of the extra
hours on the weekend following
Dead Week.
"I have so many distractions at
home, like my computer, TV and my
brother who wakes up whenever he
hears me typing," Graf said. "The li
brary provided me with a study area
with few distractions."
This was the first time that the li
brary stayed open 24 hours.
"We called it the 24/7 experiment
and we knew it was going to be
popular," said Mark Watson, the as
sociate University librarian for tech
nical services.
Because extended hours experi
ment's success, the library administra
tion plans to keep the library open
around the clock at the end of fall
term as well, Watson said. Watson
added that the administration is also
considering extending the library's
regular hours.
In addition, Watson said, the li
brary spent about $7,000 on operat
ing during the extended hours, mostly
for security.
"We hired two private security
guards," Watson said. "We wanted to
en on the side of caution and the se
curity guards did a great job."
Watson said the security guards
checked incoming student IDs and
tried to make sure that students did
not feel alone in the library.
"The only problem that came up
during my time at the library was a
game of tag being played on the
fourth floor," Science library Manager
Lara Nesselroad said.
Nesselroad, along with many oth
er library staff and student employ
ees, kept the library operating
through the night. The library re
duced its services during the early
morning hours, when reserves and
book checkout were unavailable.
However, Nesselroad said that most
students used computers in the In
formation Technology Center and
small rooms for group studies.

Court
continued from page 1
affirmative action should be used
in recruiting.
"OSA has a long history of sup
porting affirmative action, so we're
definitely happy with the decision,"
she said.
Weldon said that, despite the
Supreme Court striking down the un
dergraduate point-system in Michi
gan, the overall decision approved
the concept of affirmative action and
gave some guidance as to what kind
of programs can be used to achieve it.
Huy Ong, organizer for the Oregon
Students of Color Coalition, agreed,
saying the Supreme Court's direction
on affirmative action outweighs the
point-based system decision.
"I think the point system was a
tool in reaching the overarching goal
in achieving a diverse campus, and al
though they struck it down, I think
there are many other systems that
prove to be effective," he said. "We're
very excited."
Some students were reluctant to
declare the decision a complete
victory, however.
Junior physics major Zach Adler
said he disagreed with giving minori
ty students an advantage based on
their ethnicity, adding that good
grades should be more of an indica
tor. Regarding the Supreme Court's
decision, he concurred as long as
point-based systems were not used.
"I do agree that affirmative action
is a good idea," he said. "But I feel
like it's being abused now more than
it's helping."
