Books May Be Returned to Booth Down Stairs Before 9 O'Clock

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Upperclassmen who last year were accustomed to allowing only 25 seconds before their 9 o'clock classes to drop a book at the booth by the front door of Widener Library have been delayed this year over one minute by having to carry the book all the way upstairs.

When brought to his attention yesterday, Charles A. Mahady, Superintendent of the Reading Room, put this complaint aside as false, for it was he who instigated the plan for allowing students to leave books downstairs in order to promote, or at least to facilitate, getting to classes on time.

But on investigation the complaint proved itself justified and was traced to a misunderstanding. So students may once more leave books downstairs before 9 o'clock, after which they must take them upstairs.
