An Editorial
“It is not a place for the casual, convenient fulfillment of a set of minimum requirements.”
In the first issue of the Daily Trojan, this statement about the character of a university library was made editorially. We return to the dis:ussion of the library, and in particular Doheny Memorial library, today with more to say about the misuses of an institution which must remain first SHANGHAI.

Japanese forces estimated at about 100.000 appeared to have broken the main Chinese defense lines north of the Yellow river.
A major land offensive was under way on the Shanghai front. Japanese aerial and naval activity was continued in the south.

To dwell upon the famous campus paradox, which this newspaper has been citing for five years, that the social hall in the Student Union, equally as available as the library, remains quiet and .unoccupied, the perfect study hall for anyone, is now useless. It would be an excellent research project for some master’s degree candidate in the years to jcome to discover exactly how the whole student body be-war enters T9TH DAi	came “conditioned” to using the library for their social activ-
Deveiopments everywhere were in- ities, instead of a large and very comfortably furnished room
which has plainly and almost insistently been called, “Social Hall.”
The point to be considered now is that conduct in the library has been allowed to go as far as it can be permitted to go. Requests by the library staff last year for order from certain individuals met with an insolent response—an absolute refusal to recognize the basic need in a library for quiet, order, and self-discipline.
This address to the students merely precedes more positive and severe action from the administration if the student readers themselves do not now apprehend the situation in a new light, and make the maintenance of order their own responsibility.
Some definite steps to be taken at once are:
