"COTIEGIAN" ALLIWROPIG ON POPEYE LIBRARY STORY: TRUTH MUCH WORSE
How wrong can you be? just ask the "Hazleton Collegian" editers after they uncovered
the real facts in the case of "Popoye" in the library. They were serious. There are
iron bars over the windows of the Highacres Library to prevent escape of students
from such a treasury of learning. If you don , t believe this, go and look. Those
iron bars were almost "Popeyets doom .... those bars and a record player.
You remember from our last week's story that Francis "Popeye" Hihalovic was
trapped in the college library. But we didn't think it as serious. But it was.
You see, "Popeye" was reading in the "stacks" as the room is called where the long
steel shelves of books are. It is over the windows of this room that you will find .
the bars, barring the way to liberty and casting grim black lines across the
panorama of Conyngham VPl7ey. You will find two doers to the room .- one kept
permanently locked, the other opening into the reading and reference room.
Now to the desperate situation in which "Popeye" found :,zimself. He was reading
near a barred window and did not pay particular attention whon assistant librarian
John Kurtz turned out the fluorescents, not knowing anyone was back there in the
"stacks" ! and, because he was going to class, locked the large, strong grey door --
from the outside.
Peace reigned in the stacks; "Popeye" kept on reading. Students came to the
reading room and settled down for study. In the music room Mike Belgic) started
listening to some of the music departments full-bodied recordings on the large
player that was designed by Miss Pearl Garbrick. But Mike was disturbed.
Mike was disturbed because he began to hear a faint tapping, tapping at the
door. 7e stopped and listened. He played another recording. He heard more tapping.
ixoused, he went to the door from the music room to the reading room and angrily
announced to the studying students, "If you pranksters don't stop that tapping on
this door, report it to Miss Garbrick,"
There was quiet -- for a minute. Then the tapping started again. Again Mike
thrust open the reading room door. This time the studiers assured him honestly
that they were not playing pranks. 'That to do? Now everyone surmised that someone
was trapped in the stacks, Samaritan Walter Batley then began his trips at top speed
to the office, bring back wrong keys for the largo grey door that was immuring
”Popeyeu away from his next class.
Finally rescue came. Dave Edwards, another library assistant appeared with
lithe key' , and with a turn and a thrust had the victim out and on his way to class.
(Thanks to Miss Garbrick or the details on this story)
THIS IS GETTING MONOTONOUS LOCKED IN: LOCKED OUT; wori ;AND PAYER DO SECOND-STORY
7nRIC IN B4SEMENT.
Ono morning this week -- not the snowy one -- two men were seen in the quadrangle
lorforming second-story work on the ground floor of the Memorial Dormitory building.
The men wore Gilbert N. Ward, assistant professor of physics, and Ed Payer. They
wore observed entering
.(after considerable prying) a window on the ground level,
opening into the office of the physics laboratory. Reports have come to these pages
that keys were the cause -- keys looked in the laboratory office.
Do you wish to damage the fine looking furniture in our main lounge? What about your
foot? What about shoving the arms of the chairs sideways with your logs?
