RePatria... If American armies decided to 'put off' fighting for a week; If our naval forces de tei mined to halt the hunt for enemy subma1 ines until next month—how long would Amei ica remain free? This is a war of minutes; procrastination has becoi i synonymous with perfidy. While w« can't think o'. ore pei son who hasn't said "I'm going tc itart buying War Stamps without fail!". we can think of numerous cases in which they just 'forgot' to do so. It is vitally important for students to invest their dimes, quarte-s, and dollars in the United States as regularly and as systematically as do their parents and friends and friends invest their pay-dollars. It i vitally important that they do SO wholeheartedly. So enlist now one hundred percent in the 10 per cent Allowance Plan being instigated by the College War Council. Your support in making this a success will mean one more slap at that Jap.

The Letter to the Editor'' regarding conditions in the infirmary I felt was critnal and unfair most likely due to the lack of imagination on the part of the writer. When I returned to school this fall I had to spend almost an entire week in the infirmary. I was sick tnough to want to be alone. I had come i:l • i. for peace and quiet I could not have been more kindly treated by my own mother. I think instead of complaining we should marvel at the immaculateness of the infirmary, of the since re consideration for our ,i™ and „__, pains i aches shown us, andJ above all we should be filled with I admiration for our nurse who unassisted carries on for us. One does not stay in the Infirmary for such a long spell that she cannot do withoot the comradeship of her

Head Librarian Clarifies Reserve Book Rules Dear Editor Although your answer to "A Bookworm'' in the Rotunda of two weeks ago covered nicely the major difficulty she was having with finding books in the Reserve Book Room. I am wondering whether I may add some few details to assist your readers in using this department of the Library. I he faculty reserve lists are arranged alphabetically on the Bulletin Board according to the faculty member's name. When a certain professor has placed books on reserve for more than one course, the several lists are arranged under his name according to the number of the course Books on the lists are arranged alphabetically by author, and the books on the Reserve Shelves are also arranged In one alphabet according to the name of the author. The Reserve Collection is shelved immediately to the left of the entrance to the Reserve Book Room in the section of shelving between the entrance and the window at the end of the room These books may during the day be used only in the library, but may be withdrawn for overnight use at 10:30 in the evening ,m<l for the week end at 5:30 on Saturday afternoon. Since the Reserve Collection oc-
cupied so small a portion of the shelving in the Room, a number of other collections of books have been placed in the room to make those collections more available to the students and to fill with books otherwise empty sections of shelving. The first of these collections, continuing around the room from the window at the south end is made up of the library's collection of individual biography. The second collection is entirely devoted to juvenile literature, and extends around the north end of the room. The third, immediately to the right of the entrance, is the Morrison Memorial Collection. Books in all three of these collections may be withdrawn from the library for the usual two-week period. The accident of their location in the Reserve Book Room does not make them Reserve Books. One more word to "A Bookworm'1 in the event that she or her colleagues should have further trouble in using this or any other department of the Library: A professional member of the library staff is on hand at all times for the specific purpose of assisting students with their library problems. Sincerely, Dr. Leroy Merrltt

Letters to the Editor . Student Challenges Criticism Of Infirmary Treatment To the Editor: In last week's paper. The Letter to the Editor" regarding conditions in the infirmary I felt was critical and unfair most likely due to the lack of imagination on the part of the writer. When I returned to school this fall I had to spend almost an entire week in the infirmary. I was sick tnough to want to be alone. I had come there for peace and quiet I could not have been more kindly treated by my own mother. I think instead of complaining we should marvel at the immaculateness of the infirmary, of the sincire consideration for our aches and pains shown us. and above all we should be filled with admiration for our nurse who unassisted carries on for us. One does not stay in the infirmary for such a long spell that she cannot do withoot the comradeship of her
fru nds. After all the infirmary is for the sick, if you want to have pi act and quiet it Is Just the place to go. but if you simply want to make it a social event then I would say tliat your choice was unwise. May I ask that those who heretofore have been dragging themselves around school when feeling ill instead of reporting to the infirmary please feel free to go. for I assure you of excellent care. Well, then, let's have a little more consideration for our nurse, and fellow classmates who are sometimes sick enough to want to find a quiet r, stful place to get well and please accept my above statements in the spirit given, for, believe me. It is well meant. Sincerely. Jane Lee Sink
Head Librarian Clarifies Reserve Book Rules Dear Editor: Although your answer to "A Bookworm" in the Rotunda of two weeks ago covered nicely the major difficulty she was having with finding books in the Reserve Book Room, I am wondering whether I may add some few details to assist your readers in using this department of the Library. Ths faculty reserve lists are arranged alphabetically on the Bulletin Board according to the faculty members name. When a certain professor has placed books on reserve for more than one course the several lists are arranged under his name according to the number of the course. Books on the lists are arranged alphabetically by author, and the hooks on the Reserve Shelves are also arranged in one alphabet according to the name of the author. The Reserve Collection is shelved immediately to the left of the entrance to the Reserve Book Room in the section of shelving between the entrance and the window at the end of the room These books may during the day be used only in the library, but may be withdrawn for overnight use at 10:30 in the evening, and for the week end at 5:30 on Saturday afternoon. Since the Reserve Collection oc-
cupied so small a portion of the shelving in the Room, a number of other collections of books have been placed in the room to make those collections more available to the students and to fill with books otherwise empty sections of shelving. The first of these collections, continuing around the room from the window at the south end is made up of the library's collection of Individual biography. The second collection is entirely devoted to juvenile literature, and extends around the north end of the room. The third, immediately to the right of the entrance, is the Morrison Memorial Collection. Books In all three of these collections may be withdrawn from the library for the usual two-week period. The accident of their location in the Reserve Book Room does not make them Reserve Books. One more word to "A Bookworm" in the event that she or her colleagues should have further trouble In using this or any other department of the Library: A professional member of the library staff is on hand at all times for the specific purpose of assistIng students with their library problems. Sincerely, Dr. Leroy Merrltt
