Library hours extended starting Oct. 6
By MONA L. PALMER
Reporter
“Well, what do you do when you
get off your date at midnight, your
roommate is sleeping and you need
to study for a German exam?” asks
Holly Belt, a Texas A&M senior.
Beginning Oct. 6, A&M students
can study at the Sterling G. Evans Li
brary until 2 a.m., says Evelyn King,
assistant director for collection inter
pretation at the library.
The library, usually open until
midnight during the week, extended
its hours last fall on a trial basis.
The Student Government re
quested extended hours in response
to student needs, King says.
“After we agreed to extend library
hours, we hatl to find the money in
our budget,” King says.
“We laid people off, froze posi
tions and cut down on services.
That’s when the Student Govern
ment decided to fund the project.”
Sean Royal), student body presi
dent, says students needed the extra
hours during heavy test periods.
Through student service fees Stu
dent Government was able to fund
the extended hours for the trial pe
riod.
During that period the library was
open until 3 a.m. during the week
and until midnight on the weekends.
Students responded positively
during the trial period, Royall says.
Garrie Lamm, a senior accounting
major, says, “I think the extended
hours Vvere very helpf ul. This sum
mer I really suffered without the ex
tra library hours.”
Belt says, “During the week I
wouldn’t start studying until 10 or
11 p.m., so I can get a lot done if the
library is open late.”
The library counted the number
of people leaving at the later hours,
Royall says, and found a substantial
number of students were using the
extended hours.
King says, “We realized the stu
dents were using the library so we
compromised.
We extended the hours but we
weren’t open as late and we didn’t
open as early as in the testing peri
od.”
Beginning the week before mid
terms the library will be open until 2
a.m. during the week and until mid
night on the weekends, King says.
On Dec. 20 the library will be open
24 hours.
The extended schedule begins the
week before midterm because it
would be a waste of time to have ex
tended hours right now, King says.
Last year, many students and fac
ulty criticized the library for using
student funds.
“I agree,” King says, “the library
should fund it’s own services.”
This year the extended hours are
included in the library budget, she
says.
“The students wanted this badly
enough,” King says, “and we feel the
extended hours are justified.”
Last year, at the request of grad
uate students and faculty, the library
added hours at times of the year
when regular classes do not meet.
King says.

By TAMMY KIRK
Staff Writer
Positions are now open for the
Class of ’89 officers, and election fil
ing has begun.
The positions open are president,
vice president, treasurer, secretary
and social secretary. Eight senator
positions are open for freshman rep
resentation in Student Government.
Eiling for freshman elections will
continue through Friday in 214 Pa
vilion.
Students may turn in applications
along with a $5 filing fee at the Pavil
ion from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The qualifications for office are:
• Must be a certified freshman as
defined by the regulations — having
no more than 12 semester credit
hours.
• Cannot be on scholastic proba
tion.
• Must maintain a minimum of a
2.25 grade point ratio by the end of
the semester.
Freshmen applying for Senate po
sitions must also turn in 25 freshmen
signatures to verify support, though
freshmen signing the petitions are
not bound to vote for that candidate.
A mandatory meeting will be held
for those applying for the senate po
sitions on Monday at 8:30 p.m. in
701 Rudder.
Chris Gavras, co-commissioner of
the Election Commission, says the
meeting will consist of an explana
tion of the regulations and a speech
from the speaker of the Student
Senate.
Gavras says publicity for the
freshmen elections has been a prob
lem in the past. But he and co-com
missioner Alan Moore are trying to
rectify the situation and let fresh
men know when and where election
functions are.
The official campaigning will be
gin on Thursday, Sept. 26, and end
on Sunday, Oct.6. Elections will be
gin Monday, Oct. 7 and the polling
will take place at the Pavilion and at
another campus location to be an
nounced later.
The run-offs will be on Oct. 11
from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be
no run-offs for the senate positions
as the top eight vote getters will be
chosen.
“We encourage all freshmen to
take a few minutes out of their day
to vote,” Gavras says.
