Betts, librarian of the Texas Engineers Library, inspects books in his office in the new building between the main library and the Ag riculture Building. Basketball To Begin (Continued from Page 3) Friday—A&M vs. Northwestern Louisiana here, Texas Christian vs. Abilene Christian College at Fort Worth. Saturday—Baylor vs. Southwest Texas State at Waco. Teams Poise As the teams poise for the open ing of the campaign, Rice, Arkan sas and Southern Methodist are considered the big three. The league does not, for the first time in years, have a standout aggre gation as was Texas Christian last winter. Rice, spearheaded by the bril liant Gene Schwiger; Arkansas, with its tallest team in history and with Glen Rose, the man who pro duced most of its champions, back as coach, and SMU, with height, speed and class, are picked to fight it out for the title. But there is some support for TCU although it has only two sub stitutes from its 1952 champions back to cany one. And Texas, Engineer Library Schedules Opening For December 15 By JON KINSLOW Battalion City Staff The only library in the state especially for Registered Profes sional Engineers, A&M’s new En gineer’s library, is almost ready for its opening Dec. 15. The libi’ary, which was former ly housed in the ME shops, has completed moving its books and periodicals into the new building, located across from the Cushing Library. All that remains to be done is arranging of desks and shelves inside the new building. The new building was described by Robert A. Betts, librarian, as being the best lighted library in the state. Each book shelf on the second floor has a flourescent lamp on top. This arrangement makes it possible to read between the rows of books without eye- starin Betts said. Betts, who has woi'ked in the Library of Congress and the Army Medical Library in Washington, came to A&M in 1948. Since that time he has more than doubled the volumes and periodicals in the engineering library. The number of volumes has risen from 0,000 to 14,000 and the number of period icals from 200 to 700 in the four years Betts has been here. Betts also began an exchange plan with other libraries. This plan has enabled the library to ob tain many abstracts and back is sue periodicals that it could not otherwise have gotten. More than 100 libraries throughout the U. S. and Canada are on the library’s exchange list. Magazines Popular Betts said the students here use the magazines four times as much as the books. For this reason, two- thirds of the library’s material is magazines and periodicals. “Since we are the only library BUY, SF.r.r., KENT OR TRADE.

Official Notice A&M RINGS On the basis of fall semester grades some students will become eligible to order an A&M ring. Such studnts may now leave their names with the ring clerk in the Registrar's Office. Their records will be checked and eligibility for the ring will be determined by Feb. 3, and 10. 1953 for March delivery. The ring clerk is on duty from 8-12 noon each week day.. H. L. Heaton, Registrar especially for engineers in this state, we have many periodicals that are not available anywhere else in this area,” Betts said. Before beginning his work in libraries, Betts received his AB degree from the University of North Carolina and did graduate work at Peabody College in Nash ville, Tenn. He is originally from Raleigh, North Carolina. We are not trying to cotnpete with the Cushing library in fic tion, social sciences, and similar fields, Betts said. We are main taining a library for graduate and undergraduate enginers at A&M for the Registered Professional Engineers of Texas. The new building includes a large reference room and nine small rooms for those who wish to do extended research. These smaller rooms may be used by a student for several weeks at a time. The student is given a key to the room and may keep all his necessary material thei’e until he completes his research. The building was designed from suggestions by Betts by Herbert Voelcker and Associates, and con structed by Fisher Construction Company. Schools Need (Continued from Page 2) “The lower the bids on the bonds are, the lower the increase in taxes will be,” said Les Rich ardson, superintendent. The school board estimates that the tax increase will be from 40 to 50 per cent. If this bond issue passes, it will be the fifth school bond issue in 14 years. The others and their amounts were $75,000 in 1939, $40,000 in 1941, $125,000 in 1948, and $111,000 in 1951, “We’re going to start a definite, planned building program with the money from this bond issue, if it passes,” Richardson said. “Over many years, the program will in clude the new high school and an elementary school in each of the three main divisions of the city.” MY G.

He said, “A boy is more apt to get hurt if he has not had quite a bit of time to get his body used to the shocks of contact football.” Friday afternoon most of the coaches -have to go to Houston for a banquet, and will not be able to hold practice. Both coaches have urged their players to come out anyway and work out on their own.
