Library Celebrates Anniversary
The two-million dollar Ilah Dunlap
Little Memorial Library celebrated its
10th anniversary last week.
Director of Libraries \V. Porter Kel-
lam said there is no library better than the
University's 10-year-old library, in re
gard to its attractiveness and access to
books. I
Since it was dedicated ten years ago
on Nov. 19, the library has undergone
striking changes.
The number of catalogued books has
almost doubled from 300,000 in June
1953 to 500,000 in June, 1963. In addi
tion. tiler? has been a 34.9 per cent rise
in circulation last year alone.
In 1953 the library had a staff of 4 7
members. Now there are 79 staff mem
bers.
The library has a seating capacity of
1040 and there are often that many using
its facilites. A survey taken a few years
ago showed that only 40 per cent of the
students go to use the library materials.
The other 60 per cent go for a quiet place
to study.
In addition to the 517,000 books, the
si***
library has nltnost one million manu
scripts, maps, records, pictures and other
su<h materials. There are also seminar
rooms, student typing rooms, faculty stud
ies, a photographic laboratory, hi-fi listen
ing rooms, nn auditorium equipped for
film and sound and reading rooms on
each field of study.
The new library was originally an idea
of Mr. and Mrs. John Dozier Little of
Atlanta. Mrs. Little's will directed that
a large portion of her estate be used
for its construction.
The building was to be erected on the
site where the historic Chancellor House
then stood. It was to be a red brick,
colonial building with columns on all
sides.
Alfred Morton Githens, of New York
was the architect employed. Githens
used "engaged” columns, since those
columns as suggested in Mrs. Little's
v> ill would have taken up too much space
and money. The "engaged'' columns aro
buried in a wall of pale red brick.
The ground was broken for the library
Nov. 9, 1950. The library was opened
Sept. 10. 1953.
It was the first modern air condi
tioned building on the campus. Kellnm
remarked that it was the most econom
ically constructed library since World
War II.
Huge rolumns of hollow steel carry the
weight of the building and also serve as
ducts for the heating and air-condition
ing systems.

A runs Program
Served to Ka\ enous students
By SUSAN SHANK
About 300 lbs. of roast beef,
864 pieces of fried chicken,
160 lbs. of green beans, 60 lbs.
of spinach, 1,000 salads, 1,000
deserts and 50 to 60 gallons
of tea are consumed by ap
proximately 1,200 University
students at Creswell Cafeteria
during a typical lunch or din
ner.
Eighteen employees in four
lines serve from 700 to 900
students at breakfast, Monday
through Friday. Over a holi
day weekend about one-third
that number go to breakfast.
The cafeteria can seat 500
students at one time and is
run on the principle that as
students move out other stu
dents can move In, be served,
and eat.
Mrs. John S. Conner, cafe
teria dietitian, explained the
complexities of preparing meals
for hundreds of hungry stu
dents. The only congestion oc
curs at 5 p.m. when all the
students want to eat dinner
at once, she commented. “If
students would come at times
other than 5 this problem
would be avoided,” she said.
Mrs. Conner added that stu
dents are supposed to carry
their trays to the conveyor. "It
would help in seating . . . and
is a convenience for the stu
dents coming behind,” she re
marked.
The cafeteria employs 27
students who serve dinner two
hours in the evening and re
ceive two meals a day. Five
student cashiers are also em
ployed for two hours at times
of their Choosing.
Four cooks and four helpers
begin preparing breakfast at
5:30. At 10:30 another shift
comes to cook lunch and din
ner. Two cooks and two help
ers cook meats and vegetables,
two cooks and two helpers pre
pare the salads and two cooks
and two helpers prepare bread
and desert.
About 160-200 cash cus
tomers eat in the cafeteria ev
ery meal. A little over 900
students bought two-meal tick
ets, and about 300 bought
three-meal tickets.
The cafeteria will continue
serving cokes, sandwiches and
other snacks at night. How
ever, MrS. Conner said that,
eventually, if more students
do not take advantage of this
service, the cafoteria will lose
money and be forced to close.
Applications for a spring so-
mester in Paris program, spon
sored by tho Institute of Eu
ropean Studies, are due Tues
day, Dec. 10. Tho fee for the
program, which will stress
French Language study, is
$ 1,230, or $1,590, including
passa ge.
Applicants must be sopho
mores with three semesters of
college French or juniors with
five semesters. All must have
a It average.

When the movies are over at 10:15
And your dale is acting real, real mean
Cheer her tip, it's easy to do
Come to The Cue Club and shoot some pool

Or your gal's gone and you're feeling blue
Come see us, you 'll feel all right
We'll make your life very bright

DECK THE HALLS
The time has cotnc to think of Christinas shopping, for tho
Yuletide will lie upon us quicker than you can say Jack Robin*
son. (Have you over wondered, incidentally, about the origin
of this interesting phrase "Quicker than you can say Jack
Robinson”? Well sir, the original saying was French—“Plus
vile que de dire Jacques Robespierre." Jack Robinson is, as every
one knows, an Anglicization of Jacques Robespierre who was,
as everyone knows, the famous figure from tho French Revolu
tion who, ns everyone knows, got murdered in his bath by
Dnnton, Murat, Caligula, and A1 Cnpone.
(The reason people started saying “Quicker than you can
say Jacques Robespierre”—or Jack Robinson, as lie is called in
English-speaking countries like England, the U.S., and Cleve
land—is quite nn interesting little story. It seems that Robes*
pierre’s wife, Georges Sand, got word of the plot to murder
her husband in his bath. All she had to do to save his life was
call his name and warn him. Rut, alas, quicker than she could
nay Jacques Rolicspierrc, she received a telegram from her old
friend Frederic Chopin who was down in Majorca setting lyrics
f'° <•?/
o C\
all faJ io do ws call kti turn
to his immortal “Warsaw Concerto.” Chopin said ho needed
Georges Sand’s help des|>erntoly because lie could not find a
rhyme for “Warsaw." Naturally, Georges could not refuse
such an urgent request.
(Well sir, off to Majorca went Georges, but before she left,
she told her little daughter Walter that some bad men were
coining to murder Daddy in his bath. She instructed Walter
to shout Robespierre’s name the moment the bad men arrived.
But Walter, alas, bad been sea-bathing that morning on the
Riviera, and she Imd come home with a big bag of salt water
taffy, and when the had men arrived to murder Robespierre,
Walter, alas, was chewing a wad of taffy and could not get her
mouth unstuck in time to shout a warning. Robespierre, alas,
was murdered quicker than you could say Jacques Robespierre
—or Jack Robinson, as he is called in English-speaking countries.
(There is, I am pleased to re|sirt, one small note of cheer
in this grisly tide. When Georges Sand got to Majorca, she did
succeed in helping Chopin find a rhyme for “Warsaw” as every
one knows who has heard those haunting lyrics:
In the fair town of Warsaw,
Which Napoleon’s horse saw,
Singing cockles anti mussels, alive alive of)
Rut I digress.
We were speaking of Christmas gifts. What we all try to
find at Christmas is, of course-, unusual and distinctive gifts for
our friends. May I suggest then a carton of Marlboro Cigarettes?
What? You are astonished? You had not thought of Marlboros
as unusual? You hud regarded them as familiar, reliable smokes
whose excellence varied not one jot nor tittle from year to year?
True. All true. Rut all the same, Marllioros are unusual be
cause every time you try one, it’s like the first time. The flavor
never palls, the filter never gets hackneyed, the soft pack is
ever a new delight, and so is the Flip Top box. Each Marlboro
is a fresh and pristine pleasure, and if you want all your friends
to clap their hands and cry, “Yes, Virginia, there i* a Santa
Claus!” you will see that their stockings are filled with Marl-
boros on Christmas morn. e no vui scuimta
The holiday season or any either sen • n is the searon to be
jolly—if Marlboro is your brand. You’ll find Marllioros wher
ever cigarettes are sold in all fifty states of the Union. You
get a lot to like in Marlboro Country.
