T LIBRARY STILL GROWING Contributions of Kooks Are Always Welcome, Says Librarian. Full - but hungry for more! ' That's the condition of the big j B. Y. U. library. The stacks are j crammed from floor to ceiling with about 77,000 bound volumes and j 50,000 pamphlets and bulletins, yet Miss Anna Ollorton, librarian, declares de-clares that contributed books are received as eagerly as ever. A university library cannot grow too large, believes the administration of the B. Y. U. Killing two birds with one stone, the library staff are solving the problem- of space in connection with their major project this year. This latter task is to catch up with the cataloging and mak every book and bulletin in the huge collection readily available. Make More Room Room is being made for incoming incom-ing books in various ways. . New-burn New-burn I. Butt, library and research assistant, is classifying and binding bind-ing miscellaneous pamphlets and magazines by the thousands. Duplicate bulletins and similar materials not needed at present are being stored. Tons of such matter have been deposited in spare space in the Maeser building. build-ing. To make more room for books for circulation, the staff have moved many government publications publica-tions and similar reference works from the second floor to the top floor. Mrs. Ella Brown, assistant librarian, predicts that soon all the second floor will be needed for circulating cir-culating books. To make information more accessible, ac-cessible, the staff are indexing a great many hundreds of publications publica-tions such as the Improvement Era and the Juvenile Instructor, for which no other index now exists. ex-ists. Every book of the 77,000 . has been moved and cleaned, as has been all the shelving. The floors have been waxed. Th halls of the building have been repainted. Collection In Entomology Is Praised at "Y" "Brigham Young university has one of the best arranged and largest larg-est entomologioal collections in the intermountain region," Professor Sam McCampbell of Colorado State college told Dr. Vasco M. Tanner B. Y. U. zoologist, at the ninth annual an-nual convention of Rocky Moun tain entomologists held in August near Fort Collins, Colorado. So well thought of were the B. Y. U. zoolog-ical and entomologi cal collections that the convention named the "Y" as one of two reg ional repositories for such speci mens. Colorado State college js the other. Keep Specimens Here The purpose of these repositories informs Dr. Tanner, is to obviate a bad condition which existed for zoological students of this region Formerly a large number of valuable valu-able specimens collected here were shipped away to distant large museums. Thus a student would otten be forced to go to the Pacific Pa-cific coast or the east to study many specimens from his own region. re-gion. Dr. Tanner was placed on the permanent committee now working to build up authoritatively determined deter-mined zoological collections at the repositories. The "Y" zoologist read three papers at the convention, conven-tion, before representatives of eleven elev-en states. Mr. Lynn Hayward "Y" instructor in zoology, also con: tribuled to the program. Aided by Leo Jeppson, graduate student, the men gathered many specimens on Pike's Peak and in other parts of Colorado. GYM ALTERATIONS Two games of basketball may be played simultaneously in tht Men's gym at B. Y. U. this winter states Charles J. Hart, director of intramural athletics. This is made possible by tue rearrangement of the baskets. The change will aid in playing off the 'aeavy intramural schedules, said Hart. New style zas::ets and bank-boards bank-boards and other items of equipment equip-ment have been installed. A first aid room, equipped especially tc handje emergency cases, has been constructed on the main floor. Novel ways of initiating Freshmen Fresh-men mark the ambitious" program of student activities outlined for 1932-33 by Mark KKertsen. pre -dent of the Associated Students of Brigham Young university. Plans are gong forward for th" "FretViman Trek," an entirely new idea. The newcomers to colicsc will be escorted on a tour of the campus on the evening of Sept. 26. The object is to familiarize the Frosh with all important plice ? and traditions. Through brie.' talks, dramatic presentations and music at suitable places, the history hist-ory oi the "Y" and its purpose; will he revealed. This initiation ceremony will or impressive, declare de-clare student leaders. Even betore tne "Trek"' th-Greenlings th-Greenlings will be given attention On th? registration days, Sept. 23. 24 and 26, upperclassmen will bo ' on '.land to guide the new arrival; about the campus and take the mystery out of registration. Shor; musical programs are being arranged ar-ranged to enliven these days also. Both new and old students will be entertained at a matinee dance to be given Sept. 26 in the Ladies' gym by student body officers and a faculty committee headed by Prof. Elmer Miller. That evening comes the colorful "Trekk" Elements of mystery, humor and surprise will feature the walk. Sub-climaxes will come at the two gymnasiums and the historic old stadium. The climax will occur at the portals of t'ac Maeser Memorial building. All el-forts el-forts will be made to impress the initiates with their obligations of upholding the ideals and traditions of the "Y". Clubs to Assist Phases of the ceremony will b? prepared by the Block- Y club. Gamma Phi Omicron. the Physics club and other organizations. A faculty committee including Professors Pro-fessors T. Earl Pardee and E. H. Eastmond will cooperate in securing secur-ing the scenic and dramatic effects. ef-fects. The "Trek" is a student enterprise initiated by Blue Key. new 'iionor fraternity, working in conjunction with the class presidents, presi-dents, Ellis "McAllister, senior; Meredith "Mits" Wilson, junior, and Don Alder, sophomore. It will become an annual event, student leaders hope. The traditional rivalry of frosh and sophs will be given a wholesome whole-some outlet in organized contests. Theron Luke, junior, has been appointed ap-pointed chairman of a committee to work out a .series of competitions. competi-tions. Present plans call for a flagrush at the outset, t'nen inter-class inter-class struggles at least quarterly, and probably also between halves of football games. One event will be the friendly conflicts on Frosh day, at the end of the autumn quarter. The Soph-Frosh snow-fights snow-fights will be resumed some day in early winter. Plan Pep Rallies Neff Smart, yellmaster and rally chairman, is already laying plans for the pep rallies. One of the features will be the annu&J bonfire rally. Another will be the trip to Salt Lake City for the University of Utah grid game on Octooer lo. Prospects are bright for a Banyan, Ban-yan, reports President Eggertsen. Both administration and student officers desire a yearbook and are seconding Editor Ralph Jensen in his efforts to put over the project. The social program will be a rich one, as sketched by Eggertsen. Eggert-sen. The first of "the weekly matinee mat-inee dances will come on Wednesday, Wednes-day, Sept. 28. The following Friday evening will see the Big "Ham shake" or "Get Acquainted" dance. Student Dances Thereafter student body evening dances will be given every two weeks. It is planned to let a different dif-ferent social unit sponsor each dance, employing its own decorative decor-ative effects. No affiliations with social units will be allowed until around Thanksgiving. The object is to permit units to become better acquainted ac-quainted with prospective members, mem-bers, and vice versa. k "The latter is often more important." im-portant." grinned Eggertsen. The officers hope to schedule a moonlight hike to Maple Flat during dur-ing the autumn. If it cannot be arranged then, it will occur in 'the spring. COLLETT RETURNS Farrell Oollett. president of the associated, students of the B.Y.U. last year, will return for graduate work in art this winter. As an undergraduate he also edited the Banyan.
