Students Organize AULA A BEGINNING: On Satur day, February 13, 1965, the student assistants of Atlanta University’s Trevor Arnett Li brary organized themselves into an association known as the Atlanta University Library As sistants (AULA). At the first meeting of AULA, Mr. Miles Jackson, Chief Librarian of Tre vor, Arnett, talked to the student assistants about the historical development, function, and cur rent progress of Trevor Arnett as a central library for the At lanta University Center. Mr. Jackson also reminded the stu dent assistants of their respon sibility for the provision of prompt and efficient service to the students and faculty mem bers of the Atlanta University Center. Following Mr. Jack son’s comments, officers were elected: President — Terry Dawkins, Morehouse; Vice President — Geraldine Bention, Morris Brown; Secretary — Joette Y. Baker, Atlanta Uni versity; Assistant Secretary — Thomas Frazier, Morehouse; and Treasurer — Deloris Davis, Morris Brown. The members of the AULA organization repre sent the five institutions of the Atlanta University Center: At lanta University, Morris Brown, Spelman, Clark, and Morehouse. The primary functions of the AULA organization are both social and educational. The social aspect of the AULA or ganization will concern the gathering of the members and their friends for fun and relaxa tion. The educational function of AULA will be active in four broad areas: (1) Utilization of the members’ experience as li brary assistants to provide max imum service to the Atlanta University Center (2) Presen tation of lectures and forums by outstanding intellects (3) Pro vision of continuous and cur rent information pertaining to innovations at Trevor Arnett which are beneficial to the At lanta University Center (4) To set examples (as students in the Atlanta University Center and library assistants) of prop er and full utilization of all the available resources of Trevor Arnett Library. DID YOU KNOW? Each of the institutions com prising the Atlanta University Center developed as separate and distinct entities. Their li brary resources developed the same way. Atlanta University’s Library serves each of the five institu tions in the A.U. Center. The foundation for the book collec tion of Trevor Arnett was a gift of 300 volumes in 1870 from the Reverend Giles Pease of Boston, Massachusetts. Three years later Mr. Robert R. Graves of Morrisiana, New Jersey, gave the University $1,- 000.00 for immediate use to buy books and to increase its endowment. Atlanta University designated its library the “Graves Library” until 1907, as a gesture of appreciation for his interest. Andrew Carnegie gave the University $25,000.00 in 1906 for the erection of a library building. By that time the book collection had grown to 13,000 volumes. In 1929 a merger of the book collections of the other colleges in the Atlanta University Cen ter was effected. In 1931, Morehouse College Contributed approximately 5,000 volumes and Spelman contributed over 12,000 volumes. However, both institutions maintained their own reading rooms. Clark students made little use of this now “Central Li brary” from 1932 to 1941, for Clark was located in South At lanta, several miles away. In 1941 Clark moved to its pres ent location which gave the stu dents an opportunity to use more of the Central Library’s resources. Morris Brown College moved to its present location on Hunt er Street in 1932. This brought it closer to the Central Library and its resources. The costs of library services increase each year. The total operational budget for Trevor Arnett Library has moved from $54,410 in 1951 to over $179,- 000 in 1964-65. The book bud get alone has increased from $12,000 in 1963-64 to $30,- 000 in 1964-65. The Atlanta University Li brary, serving as “Central Li brary” for the Atlanta Univer sity Center, has had, and con tinues to have a dynamic im pact on the education of the students in the Center. The Trevor Arnett Library is a source of a wealth of knowledge to the students who use it with integrity and skill as a tool for their educational preparation. A HINT TO THE WISE: Presently, all students of the Atlanta University Center are permitted to use the stacks at Trevor Arnett Library. The only requirement for stack per mits is the completion of an official application form which takes only two or three minutes! COMING SOON: Article number two of this series will concern National Library Week, with special emphasis on se lected Negro college libraries. DuPont Representative Lectures at Clark Dr. Edward F.

Z/’njo rcje table xperience By Marion Phillips Several weeks ago I was in vited to spend a week-end at Union Theological Seminary at my home in New York. It is quite an experience to just stand close to men who are profound thinkers. It was my pleasure to meet and talk with such men as Dr. Martin Niemoeller, President of The World Council of Church; Dr. Paul Lehmann, Professor of Systematic Theolo gy, Union Theological Semina ry; Rev. Howard Moody, Pastor of Judson Memorial Church and President Bennett. It is always a moving ex perience to know individuals whose thoughts are shaping Man's destiny.
