Perhaps you have seen signs through­ out the G ordon Library announcing the library’s theft policy. It is unfortunate to have to state such a policy, but there has been an increase in the num ber o f inci­ dents o f vandalism and/or theft o f li­ brary m aterials. The signs read as fol­ lows: “G ordon Library will refer to the C am pus Judicial System any individual caught stealing or vandalizing library m aterials, and all appropriate m eans o f com pensation will be sought. In the event that the offender is a non-W PI user, the C am pus Police will be called.” A part from the fact that vandalizing and stealing m aterials m akes them un­ available to other m em bers o f the W PI

com m unity, many m ay not realize the cost that this represents to the library. Replacing ripped out pages o f periodi­ cals is a very expensive process. S om e­ tim es we can replace pages w ith a p h o ­ tocopy obtained through Interlibrary loan.

O ther tim es if a w hole current issue is m issing we have to buy another issue and these costs can be hundreds o f dollars as som e o f our periodical titles cost several thousand dollars a year.

continued from from page i I been reim bursed in the last few years am ounts to over $30,000. In fiscal year 1994/95 we paid an average o f $45 for ev ery book purchased. M any scientific and technical books cost over $ 100 and users w ho lose these item s ow e the library that am ount plus a m odest $1 0 processing fee. W hen individuals vandalize or lose library m aterials and neglect to pay for them , the burden o f cost is ultim ately b o m by the w hole student body. An article in the Jan u ary 15 W orcester T ele­ gram and G azette this year indicated that m any public libraries in the W orcester area are trying

cope with the non-return o f library m aterials and dealing w ith big losses. T h e W orcester Public Library loses hundreds o f boo k s every year. O ur p lea to the W PI com m unity is to be respon­ sible for the library m aterials you use. W e now have four copiers available (tw o on the m ain service level, one on the first level and one on the ground level) so there is no need to rip out pages. Please return your books. W e w ould m uch rather have the books returned than replace them o r find that they are no longer in print. G ordon Library materials are for the entire W PI com m unity.

Ole Doc Methuselah, good old sci-fi by Brian Parker Editor-In-C hief A lthough O le D oc M ethuselah has been re­ leased ju s t this m onth, it is the p u blication o f a series o f stories w hich appeared in John W.

H u b b a rd ’s boo k reveals m uch a b o u t hum an nature a n d the rich history o f science fiction. His

spaceships travel faster than the speed o f light, yet the g o o d d octor does all o f his co m p u tatio n s on his shirtsleeves.

B ecause th e stories w ere w ritten fo r a d iffe r­ ent audience, roughly h a lf a cen tu ry ago, and because they w ere run in a m agazine form at, they have very quick resolutions. H ubbard sets the story up excellently, but m akes th e solutions to the d o c to r’s problem s to o sim ple. But the reading goes quickly and w hen the book is do n e, one has the feeling that they have looked back into the past and seen a (or at least one p erso n ’s) vision o f the future. T h is re fre sh ­ ing feeling m akes the book a w orthw hile d is ­ traction from day-to-day life.
