The library also has .too Xerox copiers. ^Jrelatively new addition to the library is a video tape player, which allows students in the first and second floor lounge areas and the bowling area to enjoy prog rams such as “Fleetwood Alive” and “Jackson Browne.” J. Wayne Stark, special assis tant to the University president, specifically in charge of cultural development, brought the idea of abrowsing library to the Universi ty in 1947, while serving as dire ctor of the MSG. However, the Browsing Library was not built until 1950. Music styles ranging from country and western to classical can be heard from albums, casset tes and 8-track tapes by checking out headphones. There are 63 lis tening stations in the library and nine channels of music to choose from. Stark said the music section of the library was his pride and joy because he felt students don’t all want to listen to the same station, nor the same type of music. This way, he said, they have several types of music to choose from. Available newspapers include The New York Times, Houston and Dallas newspapers and many small papers donated by the Texas A&M Mothers’ Clubs. Magazines such as Vogue, People and Time are also available. For science fiction lovers, the library has a collection of more than 250 of the most popular sci ence fiction books in a large glass book shelf. The two television viewing rooms have large color televisions. Each room seats approximately 35 persons. One room has designated television programming for soap operas. The other is open to any program. In the case of a big foot ball game or fight the television room may be enlarged to hold more people by opening the panel that separates the television room from the game room. Stark said. The piano room features a large grand piano surrounded by chairs. The room, Stark said, is occupied constantly. Sheet music tunes ranging in style from classical to religious may be checked out. One full-time employee and 10 student workers run the Browsing Library. Smoking, drinking, and eating are not allowed in the library. The library is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. Browsing Library funds come from the student service fees payed by students each semester, profits from the Xerox machines, and money sent by mothers’ clubs, Stark said. * * f TIRED OF COOKING $ & * * * I WASHING DISHES?

StafT photo by DitiE] Students listen to music through headphones in the Browsing Library in the MSC, Doctor offers dieters hopj with his non-diet plan IV to United Press International BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Who needs diets? No one, says Dr. Edward Marshall. Not even fat people. He believes non-dieting is better. There are no pills, shots, exer cises, treatments or devices, no thing to count or measure. No thing to buy except your favorite food. Sound great? Eating whatever you want — whenever you feel like it — not only is allowed on Marshall’s non-diet, it’s required. Absolutely nothing— even whip ped cream, hot fudge and pizza — is forbidden. You lose weight, says Marshall, a Beverly Hills internist, and you keep it off forever. So, you ask, what’s the catch? The catch is that you must eat only when you are truly hungry — not just craving — and you must push away your plate the moment you have satisfied your hunger. “The non-diet appeals most to the eater who has tried every diet on earth and still has a weight problem,’ Marshall said in an in terview about his book, “The Mar shall Plan,’ which describes how his non-diet works. “There’s no way to go off this diet,” he said. “You must eat your first choice of food. ” Marshall says he dropped 25 pounds several Hyi years ago and kept it off as Mn, v ised the non-diet.
