Library Etiquette Sinks
To Sub-Citizen Level;
Variorum`Macbeth'Edition
Suffers Student ' Abridgement
WHEN FRANCIS BACON ESSAYED that "some books
are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be
chewed and digested," he was, of course, speaking aphorist-ically.
But some Augies, it seems, took the philosopher quite
literally. At any rate, a whole section has been sliced out of the
library's Variorum edition of Shakespeare's "Macbeth" to be
digested — we would suppose — by some eager young pedant or
term paper writer.
Now, the Variorum Shakespeare is worth dollars-and-cents-
wise in the neighborhood of $40 per volume and is
very difficult to come by. Other reserve books are missing
from the stacks. And a student has been overheard comment-ing
on the ease with which a book may be taken and used
without being checked out.
IT'S PRECIOUS EASY TO SEE that these student van-dalisms
are crippling the service of a fine college library. It
sounds trite to have to add that these practices are sub-collegian,
sub-citizen, almost subterranean — hoodlum-like.
Open stacks presume the responsibility and integrity of the
student. We should be able to credit an Augustanian with as
much, we'd hope. Or do we prefer a Gestapo check of briefcases
when leaving Mikkelsen library, a measure which has been the
forced solution at other schools ?

Augustana debaters, P a u 1
Rogness and Bob Berdahl,
closed out a highly successful
forensic season last Saturday
by garnering a first in men 's
debate at the biennial Pi Kappa
Delta Sioux Province speech
tourney at South Dakota State
college.
Augie speakers placed high
in all of the individual events
at the nine-school meet, which
brought into competition stu-dents
from Augustana, Dako-ta
Wesleyan, Huron, North-ern
Teachers, Sioux Falls col-lege,
Yankton, Southern
Teachers, Buena Vista and
South Dakota State.
Marilyn Gottschalk won
%he women's extemporaneous
speaking honors, while Augie
Dale Hart placed first in
men's oratory. Hart, never
bested in this season's ora-tory
contests, left Monday
for East Lansing, Mich.,
where he will compete in the
National Interstate Oratori-cal.
Ann Osborn claimed a second
in discussion for the Augies,
and Paul .Rogness received a
second in men's extemp. Sharon
Sievers placed third in the aft-er
dinner speaking division.
This tournament concluded a
busy forensic season for coach
Clara Chilson and her Viking
squad, who became mythical
state champions by winning
the sweepstakes at the South
Dakota Intercollegiate Speech
association meet, a n d who
scored impressive victories at
such tournaments as the Den-ver
university invitational, the
St. Thomas and Nebraska uni-versity
meets.
Dorothy Syverson, a junior
from Odin, Minn., was recently
elected next year 's president of
Tuve Hall.

events. At Augie this year she
has served as secretary of
' Brothers under the Skin, coun-cil
member of Women 's Recre-ation
association, president of
the Phi Rho Betas and member
of chapel choir. She has also
worked on various committees
during the year.
