Rooms in Sims, Wade Hampton, and Maxcy are now being filled up. The re-assignment of these rooms will necessitate moving from dor mitory to dormitory and moving In side of Sims, itself.

DRAUGHON'S BUE %P""4mu"y ut I '7"V Circulation Of Books Increased "Circulation of books among the students has increased fifty percent in December over the percentage of last year,' Dr. John V.-. Mal1, librarian of the McKlssick Memorial Library, announced today. "Each student uses one-half again as many books as he did last year," Dr. Van Male explained. Stating that this increase could be attributed party to the Blue Star collection of books, books bought from student fines, Dr. Van Male said that moving the circulation desk to the first floor, and making the books easier to obtain was one of the chief causes. Another ieason for the increase In circulation, he explained, was that more professors are requiring paral lel reading than did last year. In a recent poll conducted with no publicity on the campus of the the University of South Carolina, the list of the most popular books around Carolina was determined. This inquiry was made for the pur pose of deciding just what books the majority of college students pre ferred, as compared to the best seller lists, so that the college If. braries might make an attempt to obtain these books for their shelves. Here's what it found out. In the fiction class, Sinclair Lewis' "Cass Timberlane" headed the list, followed closely by "The Black Road" by Thomas G. Costain and Joseph Pinckney's "Three O'Clock Dinner". "The Gauntlet" by James Street came next in this list of fiction which shoved Kathleen Winsol's best-seller "Forever Am her" down Into the seventh slot. In tlite non-fictional field, "Plan tation Parade" by Harnett T. Kane led Ih parade, with Frances Win. war's "The Liie 0i The Heart" com ing next. Ilill Mauldin's cartoon cavalcade. "Up Front" followed a Close thir-d. and the debatable novel of Negro life by Richard Wright, "Black lloy" captured fourth. Ben nett Ceif's collection of world fam ous Jokes. "Laughing Stock," fell into the seventh position. This poll may not be exemplary of the student body at the univer sity but there is every indication that it is close to what college stu dents in this section of the country are reading. Your library may make good use of the results of this stu dent opinion census. These books have been added to the Blue Star collection at the Mc Kissick Memorial Library, Univer sIty of South Carolina: "Drivin' Woman", E. P. Chevalier; "Fair Stood the Vinds for France," H. E. Bates; "The Uninvited", by D. Mar caidle; "The Middle Mist", M. Fe. nault; "The White Tover", James R. Ullman; and "The Black Rose". Thomas B. Costain. These are books bought with the student fines. The selections are made by members of the library staff and students.
