Librarian R. M. Kennediy announces that the new system of locating and charging books will be used as sooni as the work is completed, which will bec in a short while. The new west wing, called the Mu seum roomi because of the 011ld)or traits, cases and valuable pieces of furniture p)lacedl there, has been ac cessible for some time. The students arc finding it an excellent readling room1 because of its modern lighting equlipmient andl cork floor. The process of getting a book out of the library will lbe dlifferent and, it is b)elievedl, more satisfactory. H-ere tofore all of the b)ooks have been ac cessible to everybody, but under the new arrangement, only the librarian andl( assistants may remove books from the shelves. Faculty members and graduate students will also have access to the shelves. It is hoped that with this new nmeth od much unnecessary trouble will be FEATURE SHOWER ROOM FOR WOMEN PUT IN GYM. Section of Gymnasium Basement Portitioned Off for Bene fit of Girl Students IS GREAT TIME-SAVER No More Breathless Scrambles to Get to Gym Classes on Time A breathless scramble, chattering teeth, unkept hair, and tardiness to class are things that will go down in co-ed gym as history, and not as an every (lay occurrence. According to Miss Helen Smith, plhysical director, a place has been ar ranged by partitioning off a part of the basement of the gym that will meet all the needs for a well-equipped dressing room. There is a tiled show er-room containing eight showers, twenty-four dressing rooms, and a drinking fountain. One of the features of the dressing room is the spiral stairway leading up to the gym and whose curly ascent will cause no end of merriment for the hurrying girls. It is of especially ben efit since it eliminates the necessity of going all around the gym for en trance. In addition there are offices for Misses Smith and Cantey. The place will be ready for occupancy in three or four Weeks. The Woman's Athletic Association is planning to furnish a part of the allotted space as a lobby for the girls to spend their idle time when they have finished gym and are waiting for another class. ' Since the plan was first begun last spring, it has received the most hear ty indorsement of the faculty. Dr. Douglas and Mr. Driver being especi ally interested in it. Now that it is practically completed, it means that a dream of the co-ed physical educa tion department is realized. It means that a new era in co-ed athletics has dawned. Heretofore it was practically impossible to accomplish really effi cient work under the handicaps that were present. For the girls to dress, take gym, and dress again all within an hour was a difficult task, and one that received severe criticism and in finite complaint. Under the present conditions of the new room it will be comparatively easy to be on time at the next class, and be there with some semblance of breath. When the new room is completed, Melton Hall, which has been used by the town students, will no longer be needed. It offered poor accomodation to the students with its poorly venti lated rooms, its too few lockers, its lack of showers, and the facility with which clothes and other v'aluable ar ticles were frequently lost.
