EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: There is a general feeling of dissatisfaction among the students at some of the existing arrangements in the library. At present if a student is a half an hour late in returning reserved books, he looses his privilege of drawing books for a whole month. Thus a single lapse of memory may prevent him from drawing any reserved books during the entire examination period. This is a great injustice. A week would be an ample period of expiation. Then again the present fine of ten cents a day for overdue books is outrageous. In the multiplicity of things which engage a student's attention he is not at all to blame for forgetting the exact day when a book is due. If a book is kept beyond the proper time, a postal shoud be sent, and the delinquent should be fined two cents, one for the postal and one for the clerical labor involved. As things are now, the library seems inclined to speculate on the misfortunes of those who use it. A third cause of complaint is the new rule which interdicts the drawing of reserved books by proxy. Every student has a right to draw books, and if he chooses to transfer his right to another, signing a written order to that effect, he should be allowed to do so. The library belongs to the students, they are charged on their term bills with part of the expense of its maintenance, and its rules should be made just as flexible as possible, without injury to the common weal. No valid objection can be urged against a man's right to transfer his library privileges, provided that he signs his name and thus becomes responsible for the acts of his proxy.
