The congested conditions in the main Reading Room in the Widener Library have reached an acute stage. Every night during the last week there have been from forty to fifty men who have been unable to find seats. The capacity of the Reading Room is about three hundred and fifty. Approximately four hundred members of the S. A. T. C., the Naval Unit, and the College come to do their studying in this room every evening. There is no doubt that more would come if room were available, and many men are kept from enjoying a facility to which they are fully entitled while at this institution.

There is a possible remedy for these conditions. The Union has a splendid library which is now not being used. It can accommodate about a hundred men, and would materially aid many to study under proper conditions. Why not open the library at the Union every evening from six to ten? The Union is now sealed up tight at seven o'clock every evening. It would require the services of only one man for four hours a night to make this valuable facility available for the use of the men at the University.

Let steps be taken to make this library at the Union serve a useful purpose. We are urged not to waste. Let us not waste the time of men who are nightly turned away from the Widener Library because of lack of room.
