250 Strays
Missing Books Cause Dismay
Lost, strayed or stolen: more than 250 books.
That's the problem facing the Watson Library staff, Stuart Forth, head of the undergraduate library said yesterday.
Quoting figures from an inventory taken last summer by the undergraduate library staff, Mr. Forth said that more than 350 books turned up missing during the two-year period since 1959.
About 100 books have been returned since the inventory was taken, he said, leaving more than 250 books still missing.
"THIS LOSS IS greatly to be regretted," he said, "because it indicates a lack of student responsibility for a basic University resource.
"Fortunately, a significant portion of the books can still be replaced, but the money spent replacing these books may prevent the library from acquiring vital new research material."
The cost of replacing a book includes much more than the actual price of the book itself, Mr. Forth said. Included in the replacement expense is the money spent locating the replacement copy and the cost of re-cataloguing the new copy.
The total cost of replacing a $4 book is often $25 or more, he said.
WITH THE HIGH COST of replacing a book in mind, Watson Library recently initiated a new policy regarding lost books. Formerly a student who lost a book was charged only the actual cost of the book itself. Under the new policy, the student is required to pay the total cost involved in replacing the book.
Loses from the library closed stacks are not as large as from the open shelves in the undergraduate
Admission Tests Set for Law School
Students seeking admission to the KU School of Law next year will have an opportunity Nov. 13 to take the Law School Admission Test, a prerequisite for entrance.
The test, which will be offered again in February and April of 1962, features objective questions measuring verbal aptitudes and reasoning ability. It will be given at more than 100 centers in the United States.
Those wishing to take the test should obtain applications from the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, N.J. Completed applications must be returned to this address by Nov. 4 to allow the ETS time to complete the necessary testing arrangements for each candidate.
Last year over 20,000 applicants took the test, the results of which were sent to more than 100 law schools. ___
When men are employed, they are best contented; for on the days they worked they were good-natured and cheerful, and, with the consciousness of having done a good day's work, they spent the evening jollily; but on our idle days they were mutinous and quarrelsome.

library, he said, but he added that tighter stack controls will soon be imposed.
Additional library staff members will soon be assigned to the stacks to insure against theft by checking the bookcases for missing volumes he said.
"Up until now," he said, "it's been fairly easy for almost anyone to get in and out of the stacks without a stack permit card. But that's all going to change."
