POLICE BEATS WSU student victim of a lunchroom brawl A student who lives in the dorms was struck by a woman from Roy. The fight began when a woman who was visiting with her sister came upon the Weber State University student in the lunchroom. . She pushed and shoved her three times before a kitchen worker, JackSilver, broke the fight up. Silver said he told the girls to break it up or take it outside. Another kitchen worker called the police. When the police arrived to the scene, the Roy woman was gone; however, they did question the WSU student. According to campus police the argument stemmed from a issue that started off campus.Lingerie thief in Promontory Towers Someone has been stealing women's underwear out of the laundry rooms at the dorms. Campus police have had several reports from women residents at Promontory Towers in the last three weeks. "Who ever the panty thief is, he always returns the underwear in a few days, unharmed," said one of the women. One of the women reported spending $200 on lingerie in the last month. Every time she replaces her panties and bras they get stolen again. The only solution to the problem said one woman, "is to stay in the laundry room while our clothes are washing." However, even that did not work for one woman who fell asleep on the couch in the laun- f MY DEGREE GOT ME THE INTERVIEW. ARMY ROTC GOT ME THE JOB. Things got pretty competitive for this job.

A candle fire in Promontory Towers Two of Weber State University's hockey team members left a candle burning in their dorm room Sunday afternoon. A small fire broke out which caused mostly smoke. The dorm was evacuated and fire fighters went to work clearing the smoke out of the building so the residents could return to their rooms. Fire Chief Mike Mat thews cautions students to check their rooms before leaving, and turn off all lights and appliances. Matthews said, "Students should take responsibility and consider others by keeping the dorms a safe place to live." With the shuffle of new books and the restructure of ihe Stewart Library, a new Reference and Information Service librarian was needed to make the move a bit smoother. Ka thv Pa vne, who holds a doc-torate in history, has taken the position . Payne came to Weber State University from Wichita State University, Kan. At Wichita State, Paynewasa sciencelibrarian. She was responsible for the chemistry branch of the library and all the science department references.Payne said she came to WSU not only for the career opportunities, but for the opportunity to work for Joan Hubbard, WSU's University librarian, whom she knew at Wichita State. " welcome everyone to the new reference area and hope they find it more user friendly," Payne said. She also holds master's degrees in both earth and planetary sciences and library science from Washington University. She received her doctorate from the University of Missouri. While attending the University of Missouri, she was given a superior graduate achievement award and an excellence in teaching award. She also published "Information Collection and Transmission in Classical Greece" and "The Earth Science in Classical Greece." Payne has also developed and taught courses on the uses of the Internet. Shehas used and taught a variety of databases including Chein Abstracts, Medline, Compendex. AIAA, ERIC, Pshyclil, Marcive and a number of other federal databases. "I will be teaching a course on databases at Weber using some of the methods I learned and taught at Wichita State," Payne said. "I am eager to share mv knowledge with thestudents and faculty of Weber State. I enjoy working at an urban institution with a large nontraditional student population. You get to deal with all sorts of people." Payne said she is hopeful things are going to be better with the move. With the expansion of the com pu ter system a nd the new data bases, access to information will be within student reach. She a 1 so sa i d a no t her i m pro v e-ment was the change in location of the most used reference materials. By having them located bv subject on various tables, there will be easier access. Payne said the increased seating capacity in the reference area is another improvement to the facility. The library continues to be in the midst of construction and remodeling. Payne said she expects that the changes that are being done will make the library a much better place to access material and to study. "I would like to thank everyone for their patience. Remodeling has been hectic, but the result is an easier to use library with just the touch ups left to go. The worst is at the end," Payne said. Payne said she hopes to increase customer service by increasing the number of hours the reference desk is staffed, having a student or librarian there the entire time the library is open.
