'Save the Books'
     The University Library and Dining Services are presenting an
awareness campaign, entitled "Save the Books: Don't Eat or Drink in
the Library," through Oct. 9.
     The program is designed to discourage the presence of food and
drink in the Morris Library beyond the designated eating area in the
Library Commons Cafe.
     Library staff, custodial staff and Dining Services personnel are
wearing special buttons to remind library users of the need to protect
the materials, equipment and facilities. Table tents that describe how
food and drink harm the library have been placed on study tables and
carrels throughout the facility.
     According to campaign co-coordinator Anita Shaughnessey, "Often
people do not realize that beverage spills can fuse the pages of books
and make them unreadable, cause pages to wrinkle and binding to pull
away, promote mold and mildew and ruin video equipment, computer
keyboards, films, microfiche, etc. Food debris attracts insects that
stain books and eat book covers, glue and paper."
     In addition, food and drink mishaps blemish carpets and make
study carrels and tables sticky and unpleasant for the next user.
     Julia Hamm, library, and Irene Felker, Dining Services, also are
co-coordinators.


Employment help
     The Career Services Center is sponsoring "International Students
and the Job Search,"a program to help international students find
employment in the United States, from 3:30-4:30 p.m. this afternoon in
the Ewing Room of the Perkins Student Center.
