TAKE TEN- Students are shown taking a break after two hours of the Western Civilization examination in Lindley hall Saturday. No one appears to think this is the way to start a new day. The man in front on the left seems to be wondering if he is in the right building, while the two in the center have heard one talking it over, and the man at far right is ready to call it a day.

Library Study Shows 98 Per Cent of Requests Filled
An efficiency study to determine the percentage of books not being delivered to students at the time of request, and also to determine the reasons for non-delivery was made recently in Watson library.
During the study 1,174 books were requested over the main loan desk, and of these books 67.9 per cent were delivered to the patron immediately. The other 32.1 per cent were not delivered because books were charged out to other patrons, or were available in one of the library reading rooms in Watson or in another library on the campus.
In 93.96 per cent transactions the patron was either given the book requested or told where the book was and how he could secure it. The remaining books were searched for so that by 24 hours later, a total of 98 per cent of all requests were filled either with a book or with specific information as to its availability.
Twenty four books out of the total 1,174 could not be located within 24 hours. Subsequent searches located nine books leaving 15., or 1.3 per unit, missing in the final search.
Where those missing 15 books are, we wonder and can only assume that some have simply disappeared." Robert Vosper, director of libraries, said. "Others may be mis-shelved somewhere in the library stacks. A mis-shelved book is virtually a lost book in many cases."
"The KU figures, interestingly enough, compare very closely with figures for a similar study made earlier this fall at Iowa State college. Variation in percentages throughout the study were very small between the two institutions. KU, for example, was able to produce the book in 67.9 per cent cases and at Ames the figure was 69.8 per cent. The library at Ames has a famous reputation for its efficiency, so we are glad to have a comparable situation." Mr. Vosper added.
In 1.3 per cent of the transactions, the book was out for binding or repair.
During the test period 1.3 per cent books were lost as compared with 2.5 per cent books lost and 3.5 unlocated, or a total loss of 6 per cent reported in a recent similar check in the University of Minnesota library.
"All of this indicates a pretty good state of affairs," Mr. Vosper said, "since 33.96 per cent of our patrons
can receive either the book they request or definite information about the location of the book at the time they make their request and since 98 per cent can have this kind of service within 24 hours.
"This seems good in view of the fact that the University library has over 600,000 books stored in badly overcrowded and dislocated stacks in the Wetton building and in a great number of outlying locations all over the campus, and in view of the fact that about 5,000 new books have to be moved into the stacks every month and an average of 20-000 books circulate to students during every month of the year," he said.
Mr. Vosper also stated that another type of efficiency study, analyzing the amount of time students have to wait for delivery of books, would be made soon.

Pope May Never Resume Fast Pace
Vatican City — (U.P.) — Vatican sources said today Pope Pius XII may never again return to the fast pace of carrying on his full duties as spiritual leader of 425,000,000 Roman Catholics.
These sources noted that although the Pope is out of danger he now gets up an hour later and goes to bed four hours earlier, at 10 p.m. instead of 2 a.m.
The Pope's amazing battle against gastritis that almost killed him last month has left him in a weakened state in the most critical winter of his 16-year reign.
Doctors attending the Pope said his heart and lungs are in excellent condition but have ordered him to rest.
The Pope is scheduled to walk down one floor of his apartment Wednesday to receive French Premier Pierre Mendes-France in the first audience he has granted since November.
The Pope wants to call a consistency to bring the College of Cardinals again to its full strength of 70, but he probably will not be able to do so until spring.
"For the Pope, there is no rest," the Pope has often told the doctors
His doctors say he still needs several more months of confinement and rest.

Koreans Find Russian Radio
A 90-foot steam tunnel is now being constructed, which will connect the building with the University's main heating plant.
"The building contract will be up March 1, and the finishing touches, such as kitchen equipment, will then be started. Although the building will be completed during the coming semester, we have no plans to use it for student occupation before next September," Mr. Wilson said.
Seoul — (U.P.) Korean police announced today a parachute, radio set and propaganda leaflets believed to be of Russian origin were found 10 weeks ago in Muju. 120 miles south of here. U.S. Army authorities have been asked to determine the origin of the items and determine whether they are linked with recurrent reports of Communist infiltration of this country, the police announcement said.
Progress on Dormitory Moving Satisfactorily
Progress on the construction of the new men's dormitory is moving along satisfactorily, according to Joseph J. Wilson, director of dormitories.
