Action was spurred by complaints that Harvard students are unable to find room in the library while many seats are occupied by men not connected with the University.
Members of the Union Committee made a rough survey of people using the first level of the library and found that approximately 20 to 30 per cent of the students were from outside the University.
Library Works on Problem
Ernst commented that members of the library staff have been working on the same problem and judging from their findings "an estimate of 20 per cent is high."
"Many students leave the library if they find that their favorite desk is already in use," Ernst noted. "I doubt that all 1100 seats in the library are ever in use."
