  • ADril 18,1975 The Western Carolinian Page 7 Cullowheeans lifted their sleeves and gave blood to the —American Red Cross Wed-- nesday and Thursday. (Photo by Steve Cook.) Library security measures stepped up everywhere (CPS)--In the past, college libraries have encouraged an open atmosphere and resisted intimidating security measures. Yet a high number of book losses has plagued libraries for years and with the count still rising, many institutions have turned to electronic security devices to help prevent losses. At Michigan State the li- brary depends on an electronic system that uses a metal spine which is placed in a book and then withdrawn when It's checked out. A more popular electronic device, however, consists of sensitized tapes made by 3M that are insterted in library resourses. The tapes are desensitized when a book is checked out so as not to trigger an electronic alarm. One 3M customer, the University of Denver, has cut book losses from 11 percent to 4 percent after installingthe system. If there is a deterrent to the 3M system; it's the cost: about S30.000. But over the years, the high price tag may be work it. Recently, Trenton State College's library estimated that almost a book a day is stolen--a loss of over Si ,000 a year. Most colleges, however, have been unable to calculate the extent of their losses. One library director at the University of Elorida-Gainesville ex- Pressed horror at the thought of an inventory of a million and one half books. The book loss problem has also brought universities face to face with the question of pre- section. Most colleges have Riven the apprehended stuuc... the benefit of the doubt, by- assuming he just forgot to check out the book. "Some public libraries have tried to prosecute—but not academic institutions," said one expert at a New Jersey college. The adoption of stepped- up security measures, however, may not be too soon. At the University of Denver, one business student commented, "I've already assembled a whole library. It's like the Book of the Month Club: a couple titles a week and be- for long you've got a whole bookcase full." Batters halfway with 9-5 record WCU's baseball team has reached the halfway point on its 1975 schedule with a 9-5 record, but coach Bill Haywood is sure his team's record would be much better at this time if the weather had cooperated. The Catamounts' spirit, despite eight frustrating rainouts, has not been dampened as they begin their stretch drive for an NCAA Division II regional playoff berth. The Cats, who had their game with nationally ranked Clemson rained out in the third inning here Monday, will end their current homestand against Erskine College on Haywood Field, Friday afternoon. Haywood takes his charges on the road to Georgia, East Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Appalachian State and Furman next week before returning home for a final homestand. Appalachian State, Georgia, Furman and Virginia Tech will all visit WCU during the first two weeks in May. Commenting on Western's chances for a NCAA post season tournament berth, Haywood said that an impressive won-loss record is the key. The current WCU team has been hitting the baseball better than any of Haywood's last three teams. Six players are betting over the .300 mark and the team shows a strong .290 mark. Jerry Gaines, WCU's football and track All-America, is leading the team with a hot .392 batting average in this, his first year of college baseball. Versatile Gary Fisher is having an outstanding senior season at bat (.345), on the bases (6 stolen bases) and in the outfield (flawless defense with three throw-outs. Gary Grindstaff (.379), Gary Rhyne (.350), Jimmy Stewart (.333) and Danny Carswell (.318) are all having outstanding seasons. Music recital Three WNC musicians — Joyce M. Bryant, Alex LeSueur, and Richard Renfro — will present a joint recital Thursday at 8:15 p.m. in the Grandroom of Hinds University Center at Western Carolina University. The program will include works by Handel, Martinu, Mozart, Jolinet, and Bozza. Bryant, currently professor of music at Mars Hill College, has studied flute at the Eastman School of Music. A graduate of Ohio University, she holds master's and doctoral degrees from Florida State University, and has served widely as a soloist, clinician and adjudicator. She plays piccolo in the Asheville Symphony. LeSueur, WCU associate professor of music, holds degrees from North Texas State University and the doctoral degree from the University of Michigan. He has played flute with the Atlanta Symphony and the Dallas Symphony, and is currently first flautist with the Asheville Symphony. Renfro, WCU professor of music, is a graduate of Park College and holds the master's degree from the University of Iowa and the doctorate from Columbia University. A former conductor of the Asheville Symphony, he has served at WCU since 1950. Renfro will perform at the piano. • «.•.-•.'.».•.•.' •.•.«.*.-.».• ..«..«...<
