Stuffy library air damages books

Old books in Waltons Library will continue to deteriorate on the shelves until there is better ventilation in the library. Alexandra Benson, director of special collections, said yesterday.
She said better ventilation would come with the planned renovation of the library in 1981.
one books, some more than 150 years old, are now stored on Watson's shelves instead of in a special ventilated section of Watson or in Spencer Research Library, she said.
"Now, there is not enough space in the library to keep older books in a special section," Mason said. "But plans for renovation of Watson include plans for a ventilation system that will help the books keep a steady temperature in the building."
John Glinka, associate dean of libraries, said bids for Watson renovation will be considered early next year with renovation expected to be completed in mid 1981.
"We have a duty to ourselves and to our grandchildren to keep up these old books," Mason said. "They can tell us a lot about the past."
mason said books in Watson published before 1800 were taken to Spencer Library where they were placed in the special collections department.
"We try to go through Watson periodically to find books in the library published before 1800," Mason said. "But Watson is so large it hard to find them all."
Mason said that conditions in Watson were inadequate, but that most of the older books were in good condition. However, she said there had been a lot of damage could be caused by inadequate ventilation.
SHE SAID ONE reason the older books were in good condition was that people took extra care to handle them properly because of their age.
"We haven't had much trouble with vandalism to old books," she said. "Most of the damage done to old books is caused by careless use."
Library users also have overcome temp- tations to steal old books because of their apparent value, she said.
"I don't think people would walk away with books just because they are old," she said.
She said, however, that a number of missives she wrote to the teacher with notes attached saying the "borrower" had kept the book because he thought he could care for the book better.
"The quality and rarity of a publication is more important than its age," she said.
Lee Young, professor of journalism, said some of the old magazines in Watson probably were valuable.
The age of a book should not be a temptation to take it because age is not the primary factor considered in a book's value, she said.
For instance, Watson has copies of the Southern Literary Messenger, which was edited by Edgar Allan Poe in 1835.
Room demand up; wait shortened

Although the demand for temporary rooms in University residence halls was growing, McElhene placed in permanent rooms more quickly this year. Fred McElhene, director of academic administration, said:
As of yesterday, two women were living in temporary rooms in McColum Hall, he said. No men are still living in temporary rooms.
"This year we have had between 265 and 272 men and women who contracted COVID-19 last year, about 225 students had contracted for temporary rooms, and both men and women who contracted COVID-19 last year.
"Right now, we have essentially eliminated the need for temporary rooms," he said. "The only students still remaining are our staff." Who, who contracted with us very recently?
**STUDENTS WHO LIVED in temporary rooms were charged $4 a week, or $7 a day. McBheenan said the cost of double-room accommodations at the university ball is about $1,218, or about $3 a week.**
McElhene said the contract that was signed by students who lived in temporary rooms was not binding.
"The student must pay us only for the amount of time that he lived in the hall," he
