Now, a l i b r a r y p l a n n i n g c o m m i t tee is working on the possible r e n o v a t i o n or e x p a n s i o n of the l i b r a r y . Dr. Elton J . Bruins, Religion D e p a r t m e n t C h a i r m a n and C h a i r m a n of the L i b r a r y P l a n n i n g C o m m i t t e e , s a y s that a l i b r a r y renovation is " v e r y significant to the e n t i r e comm u n i t y , " and b e c a u s e of this, the comm i t t e e h a s worked t o w a r d s i m p r o v i n g t h e p r e s e n t l i b r a r y since J a n u a r y of this year. This is, however, not a new idea. As e a r l y as 1970, the a n c h o r published two articles r e g a r d i n g the f u t u r e of Van Zoeren, even at t h a t t i m e it w a s thought that " t h e l i b r a r y should be e x p a n d e d . " It w a s then believed t h a t by the end of the d e c a d e , the l i b r a r y would " h a v e to s t a r t piling books on the floor for lack of shelf s p a c e . " Now, the p r e s e n t L i b r a r y P l a n n i n g C o m m i t t e e is w o r k i n g on this s a m e p r o b l e m . S e v e r a l r e a s o n s for i m p r o v e m e n t w e r e cited by Dr. B r u i n s ; first and f o r e m o s t a m o n g t h e s e being a g e n e r a l lack of s p a c e a v a i l a b l e to l i b r a r y u s e r s . Not only is s p a c e needed for l a r g e r s t u d y i n g a r e a s , but the i n c r e s i n g n u m b e r of books in the collection h a s c r e a t e d an e v e n m o r e c r o w d e d a r e a t h a n h a s existed in the p a s t . In 1970, Van Zoeren c o n t a i n e d 130,000 v o l u m e s and it c u r r e n t l y holds 200,000, but Dr. B r u i n s s t a t e s t h a t c a p a c i t y for up to 300,000 v o l u m e s will be r e q u i r e d for the future. To alleviate this, p l a n s a r e in the w o r k s for e i t h e r renovation or e x p a n s i o n of the p r e s e n t l i b r a r y , and the c u r r e n t 27,000 s q u a r e feet of u s e r s p a c e could i n c r e a s e to as m u c h as 67,000 s q u a r e feet of shelf and study s p a c e within five y e a r s . So f a r , the l l - m e m b e r c o m m i t t e e h a s already had a planning program written, and is now talking with a r c h i t e c t s r e g a r ding possibilities to solve the p r o b l e m .

Policy change
Squatters rights denied A controversial change has occured r e g a r d i n g s q u a t t e r s rights for a p a r t ments. T h e a p a r t m e n t s which a r e intended mainly for u p p e r c l a s s m e n w e r e becoming u n a v a i l a b l e to t h e m b e c a u s e of s q u a t t e r ' s r i g h t s which allow s t u d e n t s to keep their p r e s e n t room into the next y e a r . As a result, S a r a S c h m i d t r e c e i v e d m a n y c o m p l a i n t s f r o m s e n i o r s who could not get an a p a r t m e n t . In o r d e r to give m o r e u p p e r c l a s s m e n a c h a n c e at the a p a r t m e n t s t h e r e will no longer be s q u a t t e r ' s r i g h t s for a p a r t m e n t
residents. T h e e m p t y i n g of the a p a r t m e n t s will definitely be a p p r e c i a t e d by juniors now living in d o r m s who would like an a p a r t m e n t next y e a r . Not a s app r e c i a t i v e a r e juniors now living in t h e a p a r t m e n t s who r a t i o n a l i z e that a s seniors next y e a r they should be able to keep their a p a r t m e n t s for t h e i r senior y e a r . If t h i s is t r u e , should it only be f r e s h m e n a n d s o p h o m o r e s who m u s t v a c a t e ? Would this solve a n y t h i n g or would they j u s t be pulled b a c k in by upperclass friends?
Looking at the issue logically it s e e m s that people in t h e a p a r t m e n t s h a v e h a d the good luck to get in and should h a v e to take t h e i r c h a n c e s a g a i n in t h e next y e a r along with other c a n d i d a t e s . T h i s is tough to take, h o w e v e r , if you a r e a j u n i o r w h o counted on a p a r t m e n t living for two years. This is a n issue which is a l r e a d y b e i n g hotly d i s c u s s e d a n d is s u r e to b e c o m e m o r e of one as h o u s i n g b e c o m e s a r e a l i t y in the s p r i n g . It will be i n t e r e s t i n g to s e e how s t u d e n t s and f a c u l t y r e s o l v e this.
