The night hours generally allow more time to help those patrons who do have questions, said Erin Plumb, a worker at the reference desk. The atmosphere is more re laxed, and people are more understanding when they have to wait for help, she said. Plumb, a senior geography major, began working nights be cause those were the only hours available, but has since decided she likes the night shift. “I like being responsible for myself,” Plumb said. “During the day, there are lots of people behind the desk and it’s more hectic. At night, everything slows down, and I have more time to help the people that come in.” A suffering social life is one of the hazards of working several nights a week at the library, said Clare Dorotik, a student worker in the microtext department. She, like Plumb, works four nights a week. “I feel like in a way it’s good,” Dorotik said, “because it keeps me from going out as much.” Studying also is more difficult for Dorotik, a junior manage ment major, since she does her best studying at night. The interaction with students and professors is much freer at night, Cindy Hunter and Scott Goode said. Hunter and Goode have worked in the map room for much of their respective col lege careers, and both said they enjoy working the night shift. “I love working nights at the library,” Hunter, a senior re creation and parks major, said, “because of all the people you meet. Everyone seems to be more talkative and relaxed. It’s students talking to students, and students to faculty. There’s a lot more freedom.” Goode, a senior geography major, agrees the evening hours have a certain advantage. “All the administrative and librarianship (tasks) are done during the daytime,” he said. “Interspersed is the informa tion-transfer aspect.

Wayne Kraemer, director of the University’s debate prog ram, said this year’s invitation to the NDT establishes Texas A&M’s program as one of na tional caliber. “Going to NDT two years in a row does great things for our program,” Kraemer said, adding that it “helps our recruit ing by giving the high school de bater who is already interested in A&M academically an added incentive to attend, and it en hances the reputation of our program as well as the reputa tion of A&M.” The second invitation time, and marks the the second ¥ UP TO 75* 10 A M.
