Donations to PBH Book Drive Reach Quarter of Quota

As the first lap of final exams drew to a close yesterday, Phillips Brooks House's Book Drive had only achieved 25 percent of its quota of 250 used texts, Alfred Pugliese '47, PBH librarian, reported last night.

He urged test-weary students to deposit their old volumes in dining hall receptacles for use in PBH's 25-cent-a-term loan service.

Pugliese hastened to assure prospective contributors that antiquity is not a necessary qualification for donations. "We've received books that date back generations," he asserted, "but we need more that can be used for current courses."

Burly Fans Contribute

Meanwhile, PBH members were wondering how much student demand there would be for two volumes which found their way into College collection depots, "The G-String Murders" by Gypsy Rose Lee and a treatise on the art of burlesque by H. L. Mencken.

The majority of volumes contributed since Friday have been required history, English, and mathematics texts.

Undergraduates may draw books from PBH shelves, Pugliese stated, by paying a 25 cent fee for one term, and a "two-bit deposit."
