Summer Term Enrollment Total Climbs

Figures Are Almost Double
Registration For '45 Semester
"Some three million Texans
hove no access to a public library,"
Francis Henshaw, Texas State
librarian, said in a talk made at
the Seventh Annual Library Clinic
held on the campus Saturday.
The more than five hundred
librarians and students who attend-
ed the meetings included 110
visitors frons six states, New
Mexico, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Tennessee. Oklahoma, and Texas,
clinic sponsors reported.
Better libraries will come to
Texas only when the people are
convinced that they must have
them, Henshaw declared, and sug
gested that all librarians support
the Hill-Douglas bill to be brought
before Congress, which, if passed,
would appropriate $2.ri,000 a year
for four years for Texas libraries.
This appropriation would be en-
tirely free of any control by the
Federal government, the speaker
stressed.
Salaries in libraries throughout
Texas arc low and must be raised
Henshaw stated, if competent
peaple are to be kept in library
positions. "The first duty of every
librarian throughout Texas," he
declared, "is to see that some
group in the community is affiliate i
with the People's Library move-
ment, which is working toward
more and better libraries in the
state."

Enrollment for the first semester reached 2526 Thursday,
with a few last-minute registrations still due to come in,
according to Miss Cilady Hates, assistant registrar.
This summer's total is almost double that of the first

The enrollment compares favorably with the prewar figure
of 2747 registered in the first stem ester of the summer of 1838, but

236 Single Ex-GI's
Beginning Next Fall
Seven dormitory-type two-atory
buildings to houae 230 single
veterans have been allocated to
the college, according to Presi-
dent W. J. McConnell, who an-
nounced Wednesday that the struc-
tures "are expected to be raxed,
transported and erected by the be-
ginning of the fall term in
September."
I'list month the federal public
housing authorities allocated 118
family type units over and above
the fit) now occupied at the college.
With the allocation came the option
of selecting twice that number of
dormitory units, Dr. McConnell
pointed out, and the college select-
ed the later group because of the
necessity for more space required
for erecting tho family dwellings.
The seven structures, now lo-
cated at (lamp Barkley in Abilene,
each 30 by 80 feet, will lie erected
In the block south of Chilton hall.
While steps to relieve the hous-
ing shortage are lieing carried out,
available housing facilities for
both men and women students
have been exhausted fur the sum-
mer, according to statements from
the office of the dean of men and
dean of women. Mrs Georgia Col-
lins, secretary to the dean of men,
states that a few more students
could lie placed farther off the
campus, but that all conveniently
located rooms are taken.
('alls at the dean of women's
office show that the situation for
coeds Is acute. While several can-
cellations were made on the Wed-
nesday following registration, on
registration day many had to re-
turn to their homes because of
no available rooms in either the
dormitories or campus homes.
