McKISSICK HAS MI Studying k By Phoebe Miller Staff Writer Unknown to most Carolina stu dents, McKissick Library has the largest collection of microfilms in South Carolina, according to Al fred H. Rawlinson, head librarian. For the last five or six years McKissick has been collecting ex tensive research material in the form of microfilm, microcards, and microprints. Microfilm, microcards, and mi croprints are microscopic photo graphs of books, periodicals news papers and other written ma terials. The contents of an entire book can be put on a few feet of microfilm about two inches wide. The library has reading mach ines which magnify the material to its original size for reading purposes. The readers are located on the ground floor and are avail able to all students. Began In 1780 The production of material microscopically has been developed in the last 25 years. But the use of microscopic was actually inau gurated during the Franco-Persian War of 1780. During the Siege of Paris when the Prussians cut off all outside communications, Rene Dagron, an early photographer, had the dar ing idea to escape Paris in a bal loon. He set up headquarters near Tours and there prepared micro film copies of dispatches which he sent to Paris by carrier pigeons. Many of the dispatches were intercepted by hunting falcons and Campus Briefs Easter Holidays Easter holidays will begin after classes today and classes will be resumed Wednesday, April 24. * * * Room Deposits Students desiring their $15 room damage deposit at the end of this term must come by the Housing Office between April 15 and May 11.

Storage Made Easy The advantage of this new medium of preservation and dis tribution of written material is actually three-fold. Not only does it make available otherwise in accessible material and compress the bulk to a more convenient size for storage, but the film also is used as a security medium for our cultural heritage. McKissick's filings consist of runs in almost every field. Most of the departments here collect supplementary material for re search and study purposes. And there are numerous rare books and old ledgers of considerable interest and value. The London Times and the New York Times are both filed on microfilm in McKissick library. These newspapers which would take stacks upon stacks to store in their published form are reduced to microfilm. And within two weeks they are filed neatly in a small cabinet.
