"It's been so crowded in the library for so long that I'll hardly know what to do when we have enough space for all our books," she added. The new law building will prob ably open December 21, according to Dean Prince. There are about 30,000 books in the present library. Of these about 9,000 are not on the shelves be cause of lack of space, Miss Lever ette said. "When the new library opens it will accommodate 28,000 books in the stacks alone, so there will be plenty of room," the li brarian declared. Miss Leverette was recently elected president of the Carolina chapter of the American Associa tion of Law Libraries. She and Miss Jean Sims attended the local con vention which was held at Raleigh, N. C., October 28. Miss Sims was elected secretary. Libraries repre sente at the convention were from Wake Forest, the university of North Carolina, Duke, the N. C. Supreme Court Library, and the~ Gilford County law library. Miss Leverette helps law stu dents with~ reference work in the library. She also teaches a fresh man lawv course, legal bibliography. This course was begun three years ago when Miss Leverette became an instructor in the law school. It is the study of the use of lawv books and "is very useful for any one planning to use lawv in any phase," she said. "The reason being law librarian is so interesting is that things are constantly changing. New material comes in every day. Another rea son I like it so much is that I meet so many interesting people. A law librarian knows most of the future members of the bar and legislature. It is fascinating to keep in touch with former students and watch their progress in the field of law." Miss Leverette wvas born in Iva, a town just outsidle of Anderson County. She received her AR de gree from Carolina in 1940 and was graduated from the law school in 1946.

It was suggested that the college courses lacked something in their content, and that it might be necessary to in stitute another course which would orientate students with prevailing business conditions. Prof. C. M. Gittinger, who rep resented the university's business administration department, pro posed that the only means to remedy this difficulty was either by persuading the business men that they were mistaken or by laving the content of the course :hanged. At any rate, the busi ness firms desire a closer relation ihip between the firms and the :ollege departments than is now ,naintained.
