Mr. Cain Effects Library Changes;
Asks for 'Good Clean Library'
Saturday, April 10, 1954, will be
a sad day for students of Illi-nois
Wesleyan university. 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.
