As added service to the students of the College, the Library
has established a Browsing Collection in the Student Lounge of
the Library.
A cooperative project of all
the Library Staff, efforts to assemble the collection began in
November. Many titles were selected and  ordered specifically
for the Browsing Collection.
Major emphasis in selecting
books for any college or university  library   is   upon   the
purchase of books that will be
used by ihe students and faculty as a part of the instructional activities of the institution.
For many years, and particularly in libraries with the closed
stack system, "browsing rooms"
and "browsing collections" have
been common in college, and
university libraries.
When the new Library was
planned, a conventional browsing room was not included,
rather a "student lounge" was
planned.
It was assumed originally that
the Student Lounge would be an
area in which students would
smoke and carry on conversations. That is, the Lounge is devised as a non-quiet area in the
Library.
To ihe surprise of ihe Li-
brarians, ihe students have
imposed a discipline upon
themselves in using ihe
Lounge, and although smoking is common, ihe area is unusually quiet.
The Browsing Collection is
intended to stimulate the reading of interesting books by students. It is assumed that there
Because of unusual scheduling
difficulties, this semester's series of "Great Films," which is
being sponsored jointly by the
Departments of Art and English,
will follow one another quite
closely. All films will be shown
during the month of April.
Thursday, April 23rd: On the
Bowery—Called "one of the
greatest documentaries ever
made," this Grand Prize Winner at Venice and the British
Film Academy for 1956, is a
searing story of three men living
on New York's infamous skid
row—The Bowery, It is a nearly
aimless tale of helplessness, desolation, and depravity. Made
using hidden camera and microphone techniques, the film must
profoundly deals with the loneliness, horror and waste of an
alcoholic's life without involving
the unfortunate moral qualities
which sometimes pervade films
of this type.
Tuesday. April 28th: All ihe
King's Men—W inner of the
Academy and New York Film
Critic's Award, and based on
Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer
Prize novel, the film is the story
of an American administration
of ruthless and reckless corruption. Of aU the motion pictures
based on novels, All the King's
Men is among the most sensitive.
All films will be shown in
Keeler Union Ballroom starting
at 8:00 p.m. Admission is free
and the public is invited.
Last night, Around and About
Joan Miro—A striking film
about the modern master, by the
artist Thomas Bourchard, was
shown. The film, which is done
in an extremely personal, if not
"friendly" documentary style,
provided many unexpected insights into contemporary art in
general, and the art of Miro in
particular. Beyond surveying
the trends in Miro's work over
the years, and revealing the
sources of his artistic inspiration, much of the film is devoted
to showing the artist himself at
work in his studio.

In a discussion of the foreign
press Ali Shariatzadeh, freshman
from Iran, told Central journalism students that Iranian newspapers consist of more political
news while United States press
is more interested in sports and
comic strips.
Mr. Shariatzadeh who spoke
at a journalism coffee hour April
9, in Keeler Union, explained
that in his country the interest
of the people lies in politics and
actual news rather than local
briefs and feature columns.
Comparing Tehran, Iran, to
Detroit, Michigan, both of about
the same population, he said that
there were 12-13 papers in Tehran while Detroit has three, the
Times, the News, and the Free
Press. In further explanation
Mr. Shariatzadeh said that of
the large number of papers in
Tehran only 4-5 of them are
important while all the Detroit
papers share approximately the
same prestige.
This was the second in a series of discussions held on the
foreign press.
is no necessary relationships between the books in the Collection and the College's instructional program. Rather, the
books are intended for use in
leisure time, or for recreational
reading.
Many college students are inclined to smile cynically when
reference is made to recreational reading on their part. It
is a matter of record, however,
that most browsing collections
are well used.
Books in the Browsing Collection will be rotated periodically. Students are encouraged
to make suggestions to any of
the librarians as to specific
titles that might be added to the
collection. Books in the Browsing Collection may be checked
out in the usual manner at the
Circulation Desk of the Library.

May 18 is balloting day for the
students who attend Central's
College Elementary school. They
go to the polls to decide where
they want the new Rowe Hall
flag pole.
But not only that, they have
invited all the Central students
who now have classes in Rowe
to help them with the decision,
The only, requirement to go to
the polls is that you have a
class in Rowe.
The elementary students have
displayed pictures of the five
possible flag pole sites around
the lobby in Rowe and ask the
college voters to look at them
and cast their ballot for the
area they like best.
The newly proposed student body constitution, which
comes up for vote next Tuesday, has made several drastic
departures from the older constitutions that have governed
the student body.
The most important change
is in representation to the Student Senate. Under the present
constitution there are only 12
voting members in the Senate
but the new constitution would
up the voting voice to over 30.
The added strength would
come from the dormitories and
married housing units as well
as the Associated Women Students, Men's Union, Pan-Hellenic Council, Booster Club and
the Interfaith Council.
Another area of change may
come in ihe  campus  wide
election of ihe student body
secretary and treasurer. Past
constitutions have  left these
offices open for appointment
by ihe student body president.
Under the present constitution
the student body president has
no voice over the Student Senate but if the new constitution
is adopted he will have a veto
power. His veto could be overridden by a two thirds vote of
the Senate.
Student Court appointments
are also up for change in the
new constitution. In the past the
court members were appointed
by the student body president
but the new constitution calls
for appointment by a Judicial
Appointment Board.
The Board would be mado
up of ihe president, vice president, secretary, and treasure?
of ihe student body as well as
ihe dean of students, dean of
women, a representative from
ihe student Personnel Services
and a representative from ihe
teaching faculty.
Lem  Tucker,   Junior  class
Senator, said, "The new constitution would be worthwhile if
for no other reason than Article
two,   Section  one   (representation)  benefit. This would give
the student body a better representation and each person would
know who his electorate is and
who to  take Senate procedure
back to."
The Mt. Pleasant JayCee's selected five Central beauties to
represent Central Michigan College in the "Miss Central Michigan Pageant" last Tuesday night
(April 14).
The five co-eds to represent
Central are Beverly Ross, Dearborn freshman; Bonita Kolean,
Holland freshman; Cynthia Miller, Ferndale freshman; Mary
Ann Atkins, Vassar junior; and
Lora Lee Sanner, St. Clair
Shores freshman.
Seven girls competed in ihe
preliminary contest, w h i ch
took place in Warriner Auditorium at 8 p.m.. but only five
will be permitted io enter in
ihe finals on May 22. The
other iwo girls were Lenore
Jensen, Allen Park freshman
and Carol Plauman, Armada
sophomore.
The program consisted of the
following: Beverly Ross danced
to "Be My Love" by Ray Con-
niff and his Orchestra; Bonita
Kolean read "Mary of Scotland"
by Maxwell Anderson; Cynthia

Lee Sanner danced to "Goofus";
Lenore Jensen sang "The Boy
Next Door" by Hugh Martin and
Ralph Blare; and Carol Plauman read from "Please Don't
Eat the Daisies" by Jean Kerr.
The girls were honored ai a
luncheon with ihe judges pre-
ceeding ihe contest.
Master of Ceremonies of the
evening was JayCee "Bud"

GBADUATING SENlOBS
Students completing work for
a degree and/or certificate in
June 1959 must report at Warriner Hall Auditorium Tuesday,
April 21 at 4:30 p.m., to fill out
the required forms.
Students earning teaching certificates will take the oath of
allegiance at this time. Mr.
George Wheeler, senior class advisor, will discuss the graduation exercises which will take
| place June 7, 1959.
A convention type of candidate selection for the spring
election has been inaugurated
by the Campus Party. The convention, slated to take place in
Warriner Auditorium on April
28 at 7 p.m., has been designed
to follow national convention
procedures with all nominations
for student body offices to take
place from the floor.
This plan was adopted so as to
give the independents along
with the organizations an equal
opportunity in selecting their
candidates. Many people have
felt that in the past the candidates have been picked by some
organization and that the entire
student body has had no part in
their nomination.
The convention is designed to
allow each organization to have
a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 20 minutes in each
block for a total of three votes.
If the group has less than 10
members in its block it will
have no voting power. Each
block is to name a delegation
chairman who will speak for the
group from the floor.
The lower balcony of the auditorium is reserved for delegates "at large." Each "at large"
delegation must have a minimum of 15 members for a maximum of three votes.
All organizations, including
the dormitories and married
housing units are invited to.
participate in the convention.
