Students Want Midnight Closing Hours for Library
KU men polled yesterday favor an extension of library closing hours to midnight, but because of conflicting house closing hours, women polled generally do not want an extension.
The poll was conducted after Mark Clutter, editorial page editor of the Wichita Beacon, wrote in his March 4 column, "I was shocked to learn that there is much agitation at the University to have midnight library closing hours."
In an effort to discover if this "agitation" exists, a poll was taken of students in the library.
Lois Kuchenbecker, Leawood senior—"It's a good idea, but there should be some way of regulating women's closing so that with special permission, a woman may study in the library."
James Hallacy. Goodland freshman—"Yes, I am in favor of midnight closing because it would give more time to work with reference books."
Barbara Boley, Kansas City Mo junior-"I think it's a tremendous idea. It would make reserve books easier to get."
Robert Randels, Medicine Lodge senior—"I really don't spend enough time there to care."
Elizabeth Habiger, Republic junior—"It's so hard to study at the dorms that I think the library should be open Saturday nights. I think week night closing should be extended so we will have longer to study."
Donald Mason, Prairie Village sophomore—"There is library work, mostly long readings, which has to be done in the evening. Extended closing would affect the study dates, but not those with another purpose."
San Francisco's famed Telegraph Hill got its name from the semaphore which once signaled the arrival of sailing ships to traders in town.
Robert Sellards, Topeka junior— "With midnight closing hours more people could use the library. Very few finish studying at 10 p.m."
William Hargrave, Kansas City,
Kan, freshman—"It really doesn't
make any difference to me because
I don't go there much."
Richard Jones, Garden City senior "I don't think it's necessary."
Carol Pattison, Prairie Village sophomore—"I would favor midnight closing for the weekends, but not beyond womens' closing during the week."
Larry McCully, Wichita senior—"There would be more time for study in the evenings. It would also be easier to get reserve books."
Loretta Jones, Arrington senior-
"I think it should be put on an experimental basis with the time details to be worked out by the library staff and the administrato. We won't know how it would work until we try it."
Nancy Cormode, Lawrence sophomore—"It would give more time for men students and married students to get needed information. It would not be too practical for the women students with house closing hours."
Lloyd Karnes, Sabeth senior— "It would be a good idea because more people could get the required books on reserve."
Kenneth O. Mears, Argonia senior —"I like the place to stay open all night, since I'm always caught just as the doors are closing."

Almost 100 representatives of colleges and universities in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and Oklahoma attended a regional workshop on the student loan program in the Kansas Union today.
