PAGE, TWO College • Accepts Li:.,rary Wing The College has officially accepted the new wing of the pattee Library, Walter H. Wiegand, directOr of the physical plan, announced yesterday. The $1.2 million unit was turned over to the College yesterday by the General State Authority after the remaining minor construc tion adjustments were approved. The General State Authority was created for the purpose of borrowing money from the na tional government for public works construction over the con stitutional debt limit. The money is usually repaid by rentals from the projects constructed. Stocks to Be Utilized When the wing will be opened for general use is not known be cause of an equipment delay. The eciip:ment order for furniture has been filed for over a year, Ralph W. McComb. librarian, said, but when it will be filled is not known at this time. McComb said the equipment delay could possibly hold up the opening until Feb ruary. Fart of the stack area will be utilized this week, McComb said, and the remainder of the build ing will be put to use as the equip. ment arrives, Even when new areas of the wing are open, they may have to be . operated on a limited -scale because of personnel problems, McComb said. Triple Working Capacity The new wing will not be formally dedicated. After the unit is sufficiently equipped, there will be a series of three open houses in which the faculty, stu dents, and townspeople will be invited on successive days. The open houses will probably be held in February, McComb said, after the bulk of the equipment has been installed. Work on the book stack area, which will swell the total capa city to nearly 600,000 volumes, will start this week. With -the completion of the installation of tie stacks, the total working ca pacity will be tripled. The com pletion of the stack-installation is expected- this week and the moving of books will begin im mediately. The main circulation desk will be moved to the east room on the second floor and the card cata logue files will remain in their present location. The new circu lation desk will present the lar gest "bottleneck" in moving. The new desk has been ordered, Mc- Comb said, but delivery is not expected until as late as Febru ary. When installed, the desk will be provided with a pneumatic tube system that will transport requests for books. A conveyor will automatically carry the books to the desk. Two book lifts also will be added to handle larger numbers of books.
