Allen NEW LAW LIBRARY COMPLETED With the opening of Mercer’s doors for the fall quarter, came the opening of the new Walter F. George Law School Library. Built at a cost of approximately $216,000, the library joins Roberts Hall and the Ryals Building to form a three-building complex where the school’s 205 law students may live, study and practice. The new building has not only more space than the former loca tion; it also has central air-con ditioning and better study facilities. Provided for the students are 36 individual study carrels and a stu dent lounge equipped with vending machines. In addition to space for 40,000 legal volumes, the library houses four faculty offices, three seminar rooms and an office for the Law Review. The second floor is the reading room and the third floor is reserved for stack space. Funds for the building were raised in a drive headed by Dr. E. H. Wilson, special assistant to the president of the university. The expense of the building is be ing borne by Mercer alumni and friends without state or federal as sistance. The new building, although built primarily for law students, is open to all Mercer students. The library hours are: Mon.-Fri. 8:00 a.m.—10:30 p.m. Sat. 8:30 a.m.— 6:30 p.m. Sun. 1:30 p.m.—10:30 p.m. INSIDE THIS WEEK PAGE *—Chapel, Comments, The Spy PAGE S—Registration Revisited PAGE 4—Art Exhibit PAGE 5—Rash Week PAGE •—Concert Series, Wil lard Clutch* y*r MERCER ANNOUNCES NEW CONCERT SERIES One of the most significant concert series ever to be offered to the Middle Georgia area will be held at Mercer in the coming yar.
