Assistant EVANS BROWN . . . . . Assistant TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13 1928 More Library Changes Perhaps more improvement has been made on the library 'during the year-both in the way of manage ment and equipment, than in tl"1: entire history previous to this time. Most of the department libraries havgtbeen moved to the main building and many new volumes have been secured. This was made possible by the bulid+ng of ,the wings on the east and west side and the providin.g of firepriof stacks for the valuable books, many of which could not be replaced by new copies if destroyed. Tl:e open shelf system has been abolished and only the librar ian can take books from the shelves. A recent improve ment is in the principal room, where a full time librarian is kept for the help of those who are working on papers, debates, etc. However, there are many other improvements that be made and those which are immediately possible should not be delayed. Since classes begin at eight o'clock in the morning, the library should open at that time. Some students who must work in the afternoon and often late at night are continually at a disadvantage when they must do par ,allel reading. Often they do not have a class until nine .or ten o'clock in the morning and during that time they could do a considerable amount of reading. Such a sug. Westion would not be necessary if it were not for the necessity of keeping most books assigned as parallel on reserve. Since many students who do not live on the campus drive from their homes every day and come with other members of their group who have eight o'clock classes, it would be very convenient for them to do their reading in the library at these vacant hours. It would he well for the librarian to, consider an opening hour of eight o'click in order to make the library one degree higher in its rapid growth to almost unequal efficiency. Usc Was T hat A ppreciation? There was sufficient evidence that a grealtmay Carolina students did not fully appreciate the almost enequal hospitality shown them by the citizen of Orange. burg county when they returned ,from the Carolina Citadel game a few weeks ago,, carrying Garnet and Black banners across their arms, arlund their shoulders and in other similarly displayed manners. Recently the director of student aiviies. receved. .bill for 150 dollars for the banners taken by students. It is not known exactly how many were stripped from hanging in the streets of Orangeburg, but it is under 'stood that The Citadel has been charged with equal dam age, so it is obvious that' such an act by any college or university is worthy of alarm. The student body has been given the privilege of re turning them subject to a cancellation of the debt. A committee has been appointed to collect those that were brought to the 1campus and it is the duty of every stu dent to cooperate with them in correcting this embar rassing mistake. Those who know students that have these decorations in their possession are asked to inform some members of the committee so that they may be more easily located. Do not wait for a member of the committee to per form this duty but carry them to the Marshal's office in order to insure their return. u.s.c. More Co-Ed Dormitories Colleges and universities are nearly always in need. Some pleading for endowment, others for classroom buildings; dormitories; athletic equipment, and numerous other things. Many are fortunate enough to get their greatest needs cared for. but since there are so many various. requests. it seems that requesting by students has been take-i as a matter of habit by state legislators, while the needs increase. tin noticed by others than the stolents themselves. With a student body of approximately 1500, about 500 of which are co-eds and with a dormitory large enough ito accommodate only 75 of them it seems that there should be no further evidence to prove that there is an ' cni' n-ti -f more rooming space. It is true that the University has several rooming houses, each accom dating about .about a dozen students. It is much more important that co-eds should room in dormitories grouped together on the campus than the boys. They should be near the cafeteria and this is of particular disadvantage since the rooming houses are so far from it, while at the same time there is a rule that all co-eds rooming on the campus must board there. It is realized that the building of a dormitory of the size that is so badly needed, will require a very large appropriation but once built, the rent collected from the students and with the diminished upkeep in comparison to that of 'the numerous rooming houses, the difference will not be so great in the long run. Even with a small expenditure, the tremendous growth of the number of co-eds necessitates some arrangements being made for their convenience. U.s.c. Campus No Junk Yard Between Burney college and the law building, directly in the walk, there are two very unnecessary obstacles, one a large load of brick and the other an old dilapidated -automobile. On both sides of the path was once a beautiful lawn but during the time it has been blocked. (new ones have been made by the two months detouring of the daily pedestrians. . It is true that this walk is not on the main campus and that the presence of the brick and automobile are not so much noticed as if they were. Hiwever, there is absolutely no necessity of them being placed where they are when there is plenty of space elsewhere and when the University already affords a hired crew that could easily remove them withing a few minutes. Carolina! Carolina! Various reasons or excuses have been offered in de fense of Carolina's defe'at at the hands of the Clemson Tiger. The person or persons offering these excuses are probably sincere in their explanation of the results, but it seenms to us there was no excuse. Clemson won the game and it seenms foolish for the sports writers of Greenville and Columbia papers to keep this malady con stantly before us. The game is history now and we can not (10 anything to change the results so' why not drop the subject and direct this enerby toward future strug gles. There has been quite a bit of comment about the Carolina spirit dyeing out as soon as Carolina get the least bit behind and many of the supporters leave the field. How would you feel if you were out there on the ield doing your best and the very ones you were play.. lng for walkedl out on you? Wake up CAROLINA and and snap into it. Build up that spirit and keep it; show the teams that you are behind them always even when they are losing for that's the very time when they need SYLVAN BROS.
