Theology Books Outgrow Library Code System A special classification for Catholic books was recently introduced into the Mundelein library in order to sub divide the books of the theology sec tion according to subject matter.

The former Library of Congress numbering system was inadequate be cause it did not have an accurate placement for the different subtopics of theological literature.

Undergrads Banned At Newberry Library Newberry library will no longer offer its services to undergraduate students working on ordinary class as signments, Stanley Pargellis, New berry librarian has announced. How ever, the unusual student who has scholarly promise will be allowed to use the library with special permis sion. At present; Mundelein students act ing on their instructors' recommen dations may receive a written permit for use of the library from Sister Mary Donald, dean of studies. Sister Mary Clara, with the assist ance of several faculty members, is currently devising a system whereby students may obtain permits directly from their instructors or from depart mental chairmen. Details of this new plan will be announced in the near future. The Newberry decision was made known recently to all Chicago-area colleges in a letter from Stanley Par gellis, Newberry librarian, following a meeting of librarians held at New berry during the Christmas holidays. Pargellis stated as reasons for his decision the fact that Newberry has a limited staff and limited reading room facilities. When undergraduate students preempt the resources work ing on projects that could or should be completed in their own college li braries, Pargellis said, Newberry can not adequately serve graduate stu dents and faculty members using the library for purposes of serious schol arship. for the Midwest Catholic College Art Exhibit being held on the fourth floor are senior art majors, Patricia Wendt and Jean Peterson.
