WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1952. Library Construction Hits Halfway Mark Construction , of the new wings to the Pattee Library are pro ceeding on schedule, Ralph W. McComb, College librarian, said yesterday. Just returned from a conference in Harrisburg on con struction progress, McComb said that about 44 per cent of con struction has been completed. and that crews are now putting in the plaster and the glass 'windows. The entire addition is expected to be completed by late next spring, McComb said. Work 'still, to be done includes the floors, lighting. wood work, partitions, and installation of the stacks and mechanical equipment. The grad ing and paving of roadways to the building has been started and should be done within a month. I:loom For Education Articles The new 'library will have four' additional reading rooms provid ing facilities fo r 300 students. One room will house the present Icirculation 'desk, and another will handle the periodical service of the library. All bound and un bound periodicals will be placed in this second room. This plan is expected to relieve some of the congestion now found at the reference desk. One of the new first floor rooms will house articles concern ing the School of Education in cluding psychology, physical edu cation, and vocational education. The special collections of books not now available to students be'cause of lack of display space will be in another fir s t floor room. Another innovation will be the conversion of th e present catalogue and order room to an additional reading „room to house the overflow of students' from the reserve 'kook room across the hall. 450 Chosen To Appear In /News' Approximately 450 students of the 11,500 enrolled at the College haNie - been, chosen to appear in the 1952-53 publication of Who's in the News at Penn State.

The cat alogue an d order departments will be moved 'to one floor of the book stacks. In the stacks will be 160 indi vidual stud y• desks, or carrels, mainly for graduate students, and six faculty study rooms. In addition. McComb said one of the most frequent of student complaints regarding the present library has been alleviated in the new 'wings.. He referred to the lighting facilities, which in the new wings will be at least three times the brightness found in the present reading rooms. Al though ' the rear wall will be very nearly a solid bank of trans parent glass, he said, little direct glare' from the sun is expected, as the wall will be facing the northwest. All in all, McComb said, the student should expect with the addition of the new wings greatly improved service and study fa cilities. He asked that students and faculty try to be patient with existing conditions, however, un til construction is completed.
