•AGE TWO Funds for Library Doubled This Year Nineteen hundred sixty-one will be the best year the library has ever had since twice the usual amount of funds are available to purchase books and periodicals, Ralph J. McComb, librarian, said yesterday. Nearly 30,00 ft book/* and 3 Ag Council To Review Pavilion Use The Agriculture Student Council voted last night to appoint a committee to inves tigate the conversion of the Stock Judging Pavilion into a Theatre Arts building. The matter was first brought to the attention of the council by| Dr. Tukey, adviser of the Horti culture Club. A suggestion that “perhaps theater arts would like to trade Schwab for the stock pavilion" was made by Richard Lauver, junior in agricultural education from Thompsontown. In further business the council approved the motion that David Johnson, sophomore in pre-vet erinary medicine from Notting ham, be removed from council. A member can be removed from council by missing two meetings without sending an alternate. Johnson had missed six out of seven meetings without sending an alternate to any of them. The council also voted to sup port the giving of Penn State blazers to the Russian Gymnas tic Team. It decided to donate $2O to the fund. The revised version of the coun cil’s constitution was presented in other business. It has been adapted to the four-term plan. It must be presented once more and approved before taking ef fect.

Of the $300,000, two thirds came from the regular li brary budget, $90,000 was donat ed by President Eric A. Walker from a special University Fund, and more than $BOOO was donated by alumni, friends and through income on endowments, McComb said. Most of the purchases will be made in 1961. If the Library can continue this rate of increase in books and periodicals each year, it will help very much toward bringing the Pattee Library on par with the best university li braries in the country, McComb said. At the present time the Li brary lags behind many uni versities with smaller enroll ments in total book slock by 160.000 to 700,00 volumes. i But though enrollment can be used as one basis for comparing libraries, it must be remembered that some universities with small enrollments have law and medi cine schools which require much larger libraries, McComb said. And other schools such as the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology and Purdue University stress only certain fields so their libraries do not have to cover as many subjects as the Pattee Li brary does. Because the University was or iginally established for people of middle and lower classes of in come who wanted minimum ex pense. less money has been avail able to spend on the library, he said. The Library at this time does ; have adequate background ma | terial for term and research pa ! pels but many reference books have been taken and never re turned, McComb said. In some areas such as art and architec tural history the Library is still building its stock, he added. Another problem for term pa-, per writers is missing magazine copies. The Library subscribes to about 6500 periodicals and does not duplicate heavily, usually buying only one copy of a maga zine. Thus, when a magazine is |reported lost, a new copy must be ibought. i The Library plans to use some jmoney to buy microfilm which. lis being used more extensively | today to preserve book stocks and | to make possible the collection of many more works, lie said. One 6 inch by 9 inch microfilm ifile card can hold 100 textbook i pages. ATTENTION ALL BUSINESSMEN Here is a LUNCHEON designed especially for your short luncheon hours and hungry appetites.
