...spite of what General MacArthur called a "stalemate" in Korea (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), the Communists are being hurt more than the allies.

The Council wants the library to extend the time limit on overnight books and to lower the fine 25 cents before 10:15 a.m. This would be a big help to the few who can hardly make breakfast on time but it would hurt students who like to study before their ten o'clock class...
