W. P. Kellam, university libra
rian, has announced that begin
D- ning yesterday the fines on over
n. due books was increased from two
to five cents per day.
ig This Increase in fines is not be
ing brought about for an increase
in revenue for the library but is
ig a measure to procure the return
of books so that one student will
a not take unfair advantage of other
f. students whose need is as great,
Kellam said.
r The present fine of two cents
per day has not been sufficient to
ie, induce students to return the
18 books promptly. It is hoped by
