TRUE CONFESSIONS:
We Moved the Library(an)
As most of you know, the library was moved to Turnbull Hall
during the Christmas vacation. The moving was mainly done by
Rolland Schcarer. Robert Howell. and myself. The first day we came
out to work was a Monday. and the rest of the week we were not
able to work because of the snow. So on our supposedly free Satur
day afternoon we came out and hauled books.
The job would not have been so
bad if it were not for the fact
that the hill we had to ao up was
rather slippery. If you have ever
tried to carry a heavy box of
books up a slippery hill, you know
what I mean. But we had fun,
and we even learned how to drink
tea. Then, after we got rid of all
the books we started on the maga
zines, and finally we moved the
records. Remember the steep nar
row steps in the old library? No
one fell down them. Have you ever
tried to dust 6.000 books. Believe
me, it's a lot of dust.
We received th e greatest
amount of satisfaction from see
ing the new library grow even
though growth was only a few
books at a time. But after we had
moved all the reference books, we
all commented on how beautiful
the bright red of the Encyclopedia
Americana looked.
The high point of our moving
came after the job was finished
and all of the books, magazines.
and records were carried over, for
we then picked up Miss Schu
macher and carried her bodily to
Turnbull Hall, thus completing
the job.

On Expansion:
When I arrived at Behrend
Campus in 1958, the library con-
tamed 3.500 volumes. Seating ea-
pacity was limited to thirty-six,
with tables and chairs arranged
(of necessity so close together
that it was almost impossible to
get to the shelves to examine a
book. Now the library in Turnbull
Hall provides seating for seventy-
two individuals, adequate lighting,
a book collection numbering 6,000
volumes, and room for expansion
to 10,000 volumes
It is most satisfying to see the
end result of the plant for this li-
brary which we started last year
I am most pleased with this move
into larger quarters because it re-
fleets the constant desire on the
part of the Pennsylvania State
University to expand its facilities
Penn State tries to live up to
Thomas Carlyle's quotation in-
scribed on the entrance to Pattee
Library at University Park—" The
true university of these days is a
collection of books."

NEW CAFETERIA
By Alice Bachman
With the opening of the new
Otto Behrend Science Building in
September, 1962, the need to use
Turnbull Hall for classrooms was
at an end. Having originally been
built as a barn for the Behrend
Estate animals, Turnbull Hall
was ready for the next change.
Today, after submitting to alter
ations costing $42,000, this most
adaptable building is now the
home of the new library and the
new cafeteria of Behrend Campus.
The cafeteria is located on the
lower floor level of the building,
and with its brown tile floors and
yellow walls, is a pleasant, friendly
place to visit for lunch. In roomy
quarters, with a seating capacity
of 112. the cafeteria serves whole
some menus from 11:15 a.m. to
1:30 p.m. to all students and
faculty. Breakfast and supper are
also served to 21 men and 27
women students possessing meal
tickets. Plans are being made TO
open a snack bar type of oper
ation from 3:30 to 1:00 p.m. as
soon as personnel can be secured.
THE NITTANY CUB
Behrend Students Prep
For Winter Activities
Now that the novelty has be
gun to wear off the Winter Term
with its bighting winds and snow,
Behrendites are once again set
tling into their own personal ruts
and. beginning to make plans for
an active social season. Thus.
many eyes are starting to turn to
(No, not thoughts of love as in
Spring but Behrend's own Win
ter Carnival.
While the inquisitive peering of
said eyes might prove slightly em
barrassing if left unrestrained the
progress being made by the
various clubs and organizations in
regards to their plans for Carnival
Expensive
Conversion
With change-overs nearly com
pleted on the Behrend Campus,
total costs have risen to an im
pressive $42.000, it was reported
last week by assistant director
Thomas E. Campbell.
The entire amount was spent
for alteration and equipment in
Turnball Hall.
Alteration made up the biggest
expense, amounting to $30,000 for
both the library and the cafe
teria.
New shelving, tables, and chairs
in the library added $7,000 to the
final bill. New equipment in the
cafeteria totaled $5,000. This in
cluded the cost of both kitchen
and chairs in the dining area.

Day move smoothly ahead. At this

been heard such as freezing the
soccer field for skating and the
possibility of having the ski tow
completed although a few lonely
souls have been seen digging huge
holes in the frozen hillside. Also,
definite plans are now being
made for the SGA dance "Winter
Carnival 1963", which will be held
Saturday, February 2nd from 9:00
to 12:00. There is also the possi
bility of a bake sale which will be

during the past two weeks.
Dorm Rules Posted
The start of the second term has brought additions and changes
in the dorm. The cafeteria has been moved to Turnbull Hall, and in
its place is a laundry room with a stove and a refrigerator. The girls
also have a quiet study area outside the laundry room. The old dining
room has been replaced by a lounge, which is to be furnished with
new green, brown, and orange furniture that has not yet arrived.
The lounge affords a place where dorm girls can play bridge or listen
to records.
The following rules concerning the new lounge have been posted
- Male students will not be permitted in the dormitory lounge
before 5:00 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and

Get Me To The Church ...
(Continued From Page 3)
I'm gettin' married in the morning! •
Ding, dong the bells are gonna' chime!
Pull out the stopper!
Let's 'ave a whopper!
But get me to the church on time!
Only because the judge was a family man with sixteen little
ones at home did Coach make it to the church on time.
And chances are he will deny all but the essential climax to this
story. But the evidence is still within reach: in that little storeroom—
where he keeps all of his basketballs—are the books that dismayed
him early that night before his astonishing revelry. But he's already
added another volume to his collection: it's a little play entitled
My Fair Lady.
