Library Problems
On numerous occasions this department has had complaints from students concerning abuse of library privileges by the faculty. A discussion of this question with library officials has brought out the fact that the persons registering these complaints have not felt strongly enough about the matter to go further than a letter to the editor.
The director of the library has expressed a desire to co-operate with the students in every way possible. However, a letter by him to one student who complained recently by way of a letter to the editor of the Daily Kansan has brought no response.
The difficulty cannot be corrected if those complaining do not cooperate. The library has a special form that may be filled out to be used for the express purpose of recalling a particular volume for which there may be a pressing need.
We want to be of service to the students in a constructive manner but we feel we should point out that these same students must do more than sound off about a difficulty. There may be some delay at times in getting books at the reserve desk, and other departments of the library, but when one considers the number of students in the University, it would be remarkable indeed if every student and faculty member could obtain every book they want at the exact time they want it.
If, in the future, anyone should encounter trouble in getting the books needed, it might be well to do a little investigation on his own to attempt to find the nature of the difficulty. Then, present a case with specific facts, that is, by book name and number, so that an attempt may be made to remedy the situation. —M.C.L.
We learn now that this fad of men's shoes that resemble ski boots is rather widespread. Thought for a while it was limited to those on the K.U. campus who may be preparing for a long hard winter of hill climbing.
We already have visions of the poor swain carrying around a sack of grasshoppers to keep his girl friend happy if this "grasshopper gulping" craze should get out of hand.
We heard the other day that a certain company now has a steamer trunk on the market that retails for $5,000. The description didn't say whether or not this price included an engine to propel it around.
With inflation continuing its upward spiral, we hear that economists are planning to launch a V-2 rocket to get a picture of how things look at the top.
Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, is accustomed to serving on committees, but her latest assignment produced doubts.
Habein Should Complain—
She is chairman of the University senate's committee on athletics and physical recreation. With her on the committee are four men.
She was assured that the committee had not had anything to do for a long time and that it was just someone else's turn to be chairman.

Dear Editor;
I have what seems to me a just complaint concerning the library and its reserve book system.
Recently, I decided to find some books on dancing and attempt to learn a few steps. Of course, the books were on reserve. From this one would assume there is a demand for dance books, either by a class or individual students. Evidently the contrary is true as one book had not been checked out since last February and the other since last June.

Granted, the intent of putting books on reserve is to make certain books more easily available to students. However, it certainly defeats its purpose when books are put on reserve that are of no use unless they can be taken from the library, and not just between 8:30 p.m. and 8:45 a.m. And, I was five minutes late returning them and had to pay 75 cents. It seems to me a rather disgusting situation.
