Begin-ning on this day, and continuing through the year Buck Memo-rial library will no longer be open from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday afternoons. The many happy faces, bubbling over with ti eir thirst for knowledge, will be seen no more. But all is not lost, for also beginning on April 10 Buck library will be open from 9 to 12 Saturday mornings. But these are only a few of the many improvements Stith Cain, head librarian of Buck Me-morial library, has made. In con-junction with the "A Clean Li-brary Is a Good Library, So Let's Have a Good Clean Library" movement /which is currently sweeping the country, Mr. Cain has also made the following changes. He has moved the Reference Books from the southwestern end of the Main Reading room to the southeastern end of this room, beginning two sections to the right of the fireplace and con-tinuing on around the corner into the Buck Weems Reference room. And not only that; the recent issues of periodicals that used to be in the Buck Weems room are shelved on open shelves of the periodical reserve reading room, and the newspaper rack with the latest issues that used to be in the main reading room just out-side of the Buck Weems room is also down in the periodical re- Dr. n d Mrso Williams To Entertain Students Dr. and Mrs. Daryl Williams will be hosts Sunday night at their home when students from all schools in the University will gather to discuss the affairs of the day, see a good art show, apd have a bite to eat. The meet-ing will start at 7:30 o'clock. These meetings, which are open to .all students on campus, are to enable students to get to know the faculty and also more of their fellow students. If anyone has the idea that this is one sure serve reading room. This is a more drastic change that most people realize, for it is believed that now for the first time in history all the periodicals will be in one room, thus making it ri-diculously easy to gather the facts. Opponents of the "'Good Clean Library" movement, in trying to tear down Mr. Cain's work, have pointed out that the empty shelves created by moving the reference books from the south-western end of the main reading room to the southeastern end will be a definite detriment to the balance and efficiency of the library. "And it doesn't even look good," they have allegedly added. But Mr. Cain has ingeniously solved this problem by filling these shelves with bound vol-umes of magazines. The Argus wishes to thank Mr. Cain for the resourcefulness and ingenuity with which he has sin-gle- handedly carried out this crusade for the betterment of Buck Memorial library.
