QUESTION OF THE TIMES

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The enclosed letter was sent to Dean Von Stade in hope that it will hasten action on the Lamont Library problem. As freshmen we would like to thank you for your excellent editorial regarding this problem.

Dear Dean Von Stade,

As members of the Class of 1959, we would like to offer to serve without payment on the staff of Lamont Library one night a week between the hours of ten and twelve. We are sure that enough members of our class, if asked, will similarly volunteer their services so that Lamont may remain open until midnight every night. We hope this or some other method will be utilized to give undergraduates enough time to study in such an ideal place.

We anxiously await your reply. Sincerely,   Edward C. Pinkus '59   Maro E. Leland '59

The CRIMSON welcomes expression of reader opinion in its Mail column. Last year over 100 letters were received, ranging from impassioned defenses of American Far Eastern policy to jibes at the prospects of a maidless college. The CRIMSON was at once called Fascist and Communist for its stand on one particular issue. Letters should be under 400 words, and the editors reserve the right to abridge them if space limitation makes this necessary. No changes in context will be made, however. Letters must be signed, but names can be withheld by request.
