Ernst Rejects Council Proposal for Changing Lamont's Study Hours

Library officials have decided against the recent Student Council proposal to extend the hours for Lamont during weekends, reading periods, and examination periods, William B. Ernst '39, Lamont Librarian said yesterday.

The Student Council had suggested that the later hours would not involve much extra work, since the Library could be used exclusively for study purposes, with only one desk remaining open. "Lamont is now open 95 hours a week and we feel this is sufficient," Ernst commented.

In an attempt to follow a second Council suggestion, that students from other colleges be excluded from Lamont, librarians have been looking for "non-Ivy book covers and strange characters."
